Immunohistochemical Analysis of Mouse Brain

Mice were euthanized by intra-cardiac perfusion and brains were fixed in neutral buffered formalin. Paraffin-embedded brain sections were assessed with the following antibodies: GFAP (Cell Signaling, 1:1000), Iba1 (Wako, 1:1000); pSer129/81A αSyn (1:3000; [13 (link), 36 (link)]); EP1536Y (AbCam, 1:1000); p62 (Protein Tech; 1:1000), cd11b (AbCam; 1:250), MHCII (Novus; 1:50) and NeuN (Abcam; 1:500). For all antibodies except cd11b and MHCII, antigen retrieval was performed by steaming for 25 min in water. For cd11b and MHCII, antigen retrieval was done by steaming in Dako Target Retrieval Solution S1699 (modified citrate buffer, pH 6.1). Colorimetric slides were treated with ImmPress reagents (Vector Labs) and visualized with 3, 3’diaminobenzidine followed by hematoxylin counterstaining. Fluorimetric slides were visualized with Alexa Fluor conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen) and counterstaining with 4’, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Southern Biotech). All colorimetric slides were scanned using the Aperio XT whole slide scanner while fluorescent slides were visualized using Olympus BX60 microscope with a color digital camera.

Reactive Microglia Labeling Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protocol used for reactive microglia labelling was as that described for GFAP, with the exception of primary antibody. In this case, CD68 (1/500, 30 min RT; DAKO) and MHCII (1/200, 30 min RT; DAKO) were used.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of HLA-DR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fixed tissue was available for 30 of 94 cases described in Table 1 that had frozen tissue. To increase our sample size, we acquired additional cases to provide sufficient cases with fixed tissue to measure HLA-DR by immunohistochemistry as described in Table 1. Tissue sections from the frontal cortex were sectioned by vibratome at 50 μm and stained by free-floating immunohistochemistry for HLA-DR (MHC-II; Dako North America, Inc. Carpinteria, CA) using previously described methods (Sarsoza, et al., 2009 (link)). Briefly, the protocol consisted of overnight incubation with the primary antibody, incubation with anti-mouse secondary antibody, amplification and detection with an ABC peroxidase kit and visualization with a DAB substrate kit (both from Vector Laboratories., Burlingame, CA). Sections were mounted on glass slides and coverslipped with Depex mounting media. The extent of immunolabeling was determined using “loads” as described previously (Head et al., 2008)

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Iron Deposition

A tissue block with the most marked SWI hypointensity at the cortical GM-WM junction was resected from each of the 3 subjects with PML and 30-μm free floating sections were cut on a sliding microtome.
For total non-heme iron staining, a diaminobenzidine (DAB)-enhanced Turnbull staining protocol to detect both total ferric and ferrous non-heme iron was used.26 (link)DAB immunohistochemistry was done as previously described.27 For immunofluorescence, double labeling was done using antibodies against ferritin-light chain (ferritin-L, 10727–1-AP, rabbit polyclonal, Proteintech, Rosemont, IL, USA) with one of the following: MHCII, CD68 (Dako KP1 clone, ga60961–2, mouse monoclonal), or Iba-1 (mouse monoclonal, Cleveland Clinic Hybridoma Core); all dilutions 1:500. Secondary antibodies were Alexa Fluor donkey (anti-rabbit 488 [A21206], anti-rabbit 555 [A32794], anti-mouse 488 [A21202], and anti-mouse 555 [A31570]; Invitrogen, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

Immunolabeling Reactive Microglial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Endogenous peroxidase blocking (H2O2 33%, 5 minutes), followed by incubation for 30 minutes at RT with major histocompatibility complex type II (MHC II) (1/200; DAKO, Denmark) and CD68 (1/500; DAKO) primary antibodies, was used to immunolabel reactive microglial cells. EnVisionTM polymer (mouse, 30 minutes, RT; DAKO) was used as a visualization system.

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.
