For preparation mounting FACS-sorted tdT + cells Cytospin centrifugation was used. TdT positive cells were suspended in 100 μL of neurosphere media containing DMEM/F-12 supplemented with 5 μg/mL Heparin, N2, and B27. Those cells were placed on charged glass histology slide with filter adapter for the cytospin centrifuge. After spinning at 300 rpm for 5 min, sides were airdried for 15 min followed by fixation with 4% PFA at room temperature for 15 min. Immunocytochemistry was then performed as described below.
Immunocytochemistry was performed according to the following protocol. After fixation cells were incubated in blocking buffer (5% donkey serum and 0.2% Triton X-100) for 45 min. Cells were then incubated in primary antibodies diluted in blocking buffer at 4°C overnight. Appropriate secondary antibodies were used for single and double labeling. All secondary antibodies were tested for cross-reactivity and nonspecific immunoreactivity. The following primary antibodies were used: mouse anti-beta III-tubulin (TUJ1), (Millipore; cat #MAB1637; 1:500), chicken anti-MAP2 (Millipore; cat #AB5543; 1:500), rat anti-GFAP (Invitrogen; cat #13–0300; 1:400), rabbit anti-Aldolase C (Thermofisher; cat #14884-1-AP; 1:100), mouse anti-O4 (R&D; cat #MAB1326; 1:400) and goat anti-IBA-1(Novus; cat #nb100-1028; 1:400).

Cultures were fixed in 4 % paraformaldehyde, as previously described [18 (link)]. Background staining was reduced by blocking nonspecific binding sites with 10 % goat serum for 1 h at room temperature. After washing with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched by incubation with a 3 % H2O2 solution in PBS. Cultures were washed again and then incubated overnight with the appropriate primary antibodies (rabbit anti-MAP-2, 1:500, Chemicon; rabbit anti-GFAP, 1:1000, Chemicon; mouse anti-ED1, 1:500, Serotec; mouse anti-O4, 1:300, R&D system; rabbit-anti fibronectin 1, 1:500, Bioworld Technology; mouse-anti RECA-1, 1:300, Abcam) at 4 °C. Cells were washed and visualized using the avidin-biotin peroxidase complex method (ABC Elite kit; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Images were viewed on an inverted Olympus IX 70 microscope (Tokyo City, Japan) equipped with a cooled CCD camera and SPOT advanced software (Diagnostic Instruments, Sterling Heights, MI).

These were performed as described previously [37 (link)]. Frozen coronal brain sections (10–14 μm) were prepared with a cryostat for immunohistochemistry. The following primary antibodies were used: mouse anti-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) (DAKO Cytomation), rabbit anti-GFAP (DAKO), goat anti-Nestin (Santa Cruz Biotech, Dallas, TX, www.scbt.com), mouse anti-NeuN (Millipore, Billerica, MA, www.millipore.com), mouse anti-O4 (R&D, Minneapolis, MN, www.rndsystems.com), rabbit anti-Sox2 (Epitomics, Burlingame, CA, www.epitomics.com), rabbit anti-Tbr2 (Millipore), and mouse anti-Tuj1 (Millipore). All images were collected by a laser scanning spectral confocal microscope system (Nikon Eclipse TE2000-E2, Tokyo, Japan, www.nikon.com) and processed with the Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software (Adobe Systems, San Jose, CA, www.adobe.com).

Cultured cells or brain slices (30 μm) were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde followed by three washes in PBS and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 min (except for O4, O1 immunostainning) then blocked in 10% goat serum (Invitrogen Corp. USA) for 1 h following incubation with the primary antibody overnight at 4 °C. Primary antibodies were diluted in blocking solutions as follows: mouse anti-MBP (Biolegend, USA; 1:500), mouse anti-APC, CC1 clone (Millipore, USA; 1:500), mouse anti-O4 (R&D Systems Inc, USA, 1:800), mouse anti-O1 (R&D Systems Inc, USA, 1:800), rabbit anti-PDGFRα (Cell Signalling Technology, USA; 1:500), rabbit anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, Biolegend, USA; 1:500) mouse anti-BrdU (Sigma St Louis, USA; 1:500). The tissue or cells were then washed with PBS and incubate in Alexa Flour-conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen Corp. USA; 1:500) for 1 h. Images were obtained using Olympus photomicroscope and analyzed using Image-Pro plus 6.0 software.

All animals were deeply anesthetized, perfused, and stained as previously described [7 (link)]. After perfusion, the brain was isolated, post-fixed overnight with 4% PFA, and sectioned with a vibratome at 50 μm intervals by embedding in 3% agarose in PBS (Leica, VT1000S). All sections through the hippocampus were collected in PBS containing 0.1% NaN3 and stored at 4°C. Every twelfth section of brain tissue was permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS, blocked for at least 2 hours at room temperature with 10% normal goat serum, and incubated with primary antibodies followed by secondary antibodies. For immunocytochemistry analysis, cells were fixed with 4% PFA for 20 minutes at room temperature, blocked with 10% normal goat serum in PBS containing 0.1% Tween20 for 1 hour, and incubated with primary then secondary antibodies. The primary antibodies used were: rabbit anti-GFAP (DAKO, 1:2000), rabbit anti-GFP (Proteintech, 1:500), rat anti-BrdU (Abcam, 1:500), mouse anti-PCNA (Santa Cruz, 1:200), mouse anti-Tuj1 (Sigma, 1:1000), rabbit anti-MAP2 (Millipore, 1:1000), rabbit anti-GFAP (DAKO, 1:1000), and mouse anti-O4 (R&D System, 1:1000). Fluorescent-conjugated secondary antibodies were used (Invitrogen, 1:1000). Biotinylated-conjugated anti-species IgG (Vector Laboratories, 1:500) were used for peroxidase/diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining in stereology analysis.

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.
