Immunohistochemistry was performed principally by the following methods previously described27 (link). Sections were pre-treated with Proteinase K before TUNEL staining using ApopTag peroxidase in situ apoptosis detection kit (Millipore). The staining was amplified using biotin-conjugated secondary antibodies, VECTASTAIN ABC system (Vector) and TSA Plus system (Perkin Elmer). Monoclonal anti-BrdU (1:100, Clone 3D4, BD Biosciences, 555627), anti-Calbindin (1:1000, Abcam, ab82812), anti-Tuj1 (1:1,000, Abcam, ab78078), anti-Nestin (1:50, rat-401, DSHB), anti-FLAG M2 (1:50, Sigma, F1804) and anti-NeuN (1:500, Clone A60, Millipore, MAB377) antibodies were used. Polyclonal anti-HSF1X50 (link) (1:500), anti-HSF1 antibody (1:200, C-19, SCBT, sc-8061) and anti-Cutl1 (1:100, M-222, SCBT, sc-13024) antibodies were also used. The HSF1 expression pattern in Supplementary Fig. 5 was consistently obtained by using both HSF1X and HSF1 C-19 antibodies.

Microglial-Neuronal Interactions Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The brains of SAL-injected animals were processed to interrogate microglial-neuronal interactions. Microglia were detected with a rabbit polyclonal antibody against Iba1 (#019-19741; Wako Chemicals). Neurons were detected with a mouse monoclonal antibody against NeuN, clone A60 (MAB377; Millipore). The protocol for all antibodies was similar to that described above, and PBS was used throughout to wash the sections. Sections were blocked with 5% normal donkey serum (NDS) with 0.3% Triton-X in PBS at room temperature for 1 h. Primary antibodies were diluted in a solution of 5% NDS and 0.3% Triton-X in PBS to yield dilutions of 1:1,000 primary antibody for both Iba1 and NeuN. Sections were incubated overnight at 4°C. For fluorescent signal detection, the following Alexa Fluor conjugated secondary antibodies were used: Donkey anti-mouse-488, donkey anti-rabbit-568 (1:500, both purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific). Sections were incubated in the dark for 2 h at room temperature. Labeled sections were mounted onto glass slides and cover slipped with fluorescent mounting medium (Vector laboratories).

After PET-measurements at day 42, animals were decapitated under deep anesthesia with isoflurane. The brains were rapidly removed, frozen in 2-methylbutane, and stored at -80°C prior to further histological and immunohistochemical processing. Adjacent serial coronal brain sections were cut at 500 μm intervals (slice thickness 10 μm) and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) according to standard protocols. The mAb against the complement receptor 3/CD11b identified microglia/macrophages (clone OX42, dilution 1:1000, AbD Serotec, Oxford, UK, cat-# MCA275R). Microglia activation was assessed by staining for MHC class II (clone Ox6, dilution 1:400, AbD Serotec, Oxford, UK, cat-#MCA46G). Phagocytic cells were identified with mAb ED1 (clone ED1, dilution 1:1000, AbD Serotec, Oxford, UK, cat-# MCA341). The neuronal marker NeuN (clone A60, dilution 1:1000, Millipore, Billerica, USA, cat-# MAB377) was used to assess neuronal integrity in the peri-infarct zone, in order to exactly distinguish infarcted from intact tissue. For visualization, we used the ABC Elite kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) with diaminobenzidine (Sigma, Munich, Germany) or Vector SG substrate kit for peroxidase (Vector laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA.) for anti-NeuN staining as the final reaction product.

Secondary antibodies used were goat-anti-mouse/rabbit Alexa 555, goat-anti-mouse/rabbit Alexa 488 (Invitrogen), and donkey-anti-chicken Alexa488 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories). Isolectin B4 conjugated to FITC (Sigma) was added to cultures at a concentration of 10μg/mL to stain KH10 neurons in chambers [67 ]. Counterstaining was done by incubation with DAPI (Invitrogen). Samples were mounted using FluorSave Reagent (Calbiochem). When indicated, cells were treated with 12.5U/mL (unless noted) IFNβ (PBL Interferon Source), 100ng/mL IFNγ (Miltenyi Biotec) or 100ng/mL IFNλ2 (PeproTech) for 18 hours prior to infection or for the specified amount of time prior to staining.

The round microscope coverslips with Neuro2a were removed from 6-well plates to be fixe for 60 min in a paraformaldehyde (PFA) solution and immediately used for immunocytochemistry. The fixed cells were incubated overnight at 4°C in PBS 1X containing 5% native goat serum, 1% BSA with rabbit anti-NaX antibody targeting the interdomain 2–3 region of the NaX channel's α-subunit (1/250) and mouse anti-NeuN (1/500, Clone A60, Millipore) or mouse anti-Na+/K+-ATPase α3 subunit (1/10, Clone XVIF9-G10, Sigma-Aldrich) or mouse anti-Na+/K+-ATPase α1 subunit (1/10, Clone C464.6, Millipore) or chicken anti-MAP-2 antibody (1/100, Polyclonal Antibody, Millipore). The cells were first washed in PBS and incubated for 2 h at room temperature in PBS 1Xcontaining AlexaFluor-488 goat anti-rabbit (1/500, green, Invitrogen), and AlexaFluor-555 goat anti-mouse (1/500, red, Invitrogen) or AlexaFluor-555 goat anti-chicken (1/500, red, Invitrogen) as secondary fluorescent antibodies to visualize the NaX and NeuN or Na+/K+-ATPase α3 or α1 isoforms or MAP-2 proteins, respectively. The specificity of the NaX antibody has been tested using SCN7A control peptide (Cedarlane; 68912-12) at different concentration from 0 to 10 μg in differentiated Neuro2a cells (see Supplemental Figure 1).

The brains were prepared to track the hippocampal tetrode locations in cresyl violet stained sections and to quantify the MEC lesion extent in NeuN (1:15000, Chemicon, CloneA60) stained sections with the Cavalieri method, as previously described10 . The volume of the spared tissue was estimated for the MEC layer II, MEC layer III, MEC deep layers, dorsal parasubiculum, ventral parasubiculum, and hippocampus. Damage to the brain areas other than MEC was not substantial, as previously reported10 .

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
