Unilateral Antennal Ablation and Fly Brain Dissection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adults were aged at 20 °C for 5–7 days before performing antennal ablation (Paglione et al., 2020 (link)). Unilateral antennal ablation (e.g., removal of one antenna) was performed using high precision and ultra-fine tweezers, and flies returned to vial for the appropriate time. The ablation of 3rd antennal segments did not damage the rest of the head or lead to fly mortality. At corresponding time points, adult brain dissections were performed as described (Paglione et al., 2020 (link)): decapitated heads were fixed in 4% formaldehyde in PTX (0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS) for 20 min, and washed 3x10 min with PTX. Brain dissections were performed in PTX, and dissected brains were fixed in 4% formaldehyde in PTX for 10 min, followed by 1 hr of blocking in 10% normal goat serum (Jackson Immuno) in PTX and an O/N incubation with the following primary antibodies at 4 °C in blocking solution: 1:500 chicken anti-GFP (Rockland), and 1:150 mouse anti-nc82 (DSHB, nc82). Brains were then washed 3x10 min with PTX at RT, and incubated with secondary antibodies in PTX at RT for 2 hr: 1:200 Dylight 488 goat anti-chicken (abcam, ab96947), and 1:200 AlexaFluor 546 goat anti-mouse (ThermoFisher, a-11030). Brains were washed 3x10 min with PTX at RT, and mounted in Vectashield for microscopy.

Slides were mounted in Vectashield (Vector Labs) or dehydrated through an ethanol series and mounted in DPX. Images were collected on a Leica SP5 (Light Microscopy Imaging Center, Indiana University). Confocal stacks were merged using Leica LSM software. Samples that were directly compared were prepared under identical conditions and imaged in parallel.

After washing 2×15 min with TBST and 1×15 min with TBS, sections were stained with DAPI, diluted 1:1000 in TBS. After several washes in TB, sections were mounted in Aqua-Poly-Mount (Polysciences).
For staining against oG, blocking solution was prepared with 3% bovine serum albumin/10% goat serum/TBST. Guinea pig anti-rabies glycoprotein antibody (kindly donated by A. Lüthi) was diluted 1:500 in blocking solution and combined with Alexa Fluor 633-conjugated goat anti-guinea pig IgG (Molecular Probes).

Wholemounts were then washed 3 times with TPBS and incubated with DAPI (1:1,000; Invitrogen, D1306) for 10 min at room temperature (RT). After rinsing 3 times with TPBS, V-SVZs were mounted on glass slides with tissue spacers in Prolong Gold Antifade reagent with DAPI (Invitrogen, P366931).

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.
