Multimodal Visualization of Rat Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A fixed brain sample from a 6 month-old rat was cut into 30 μm-thick slices using a cryomicrotome, and positioned on glass slides. Then, immunohistochemical stainings were performed to label various microstructure features. After a step of blocking non-specific antigens with donkey serum 5% buffer, with detergent (Triton, Sigma Aldrich, X-100, 1% 2 h incubation), a quadruple staining was prepared. It included labeling for microglial cells (anti-Iba 1, AbCam ab5076, 1/500 dilution), astrocytes (anti-GFAP, AbCam, ab7260, 1/500 dilution), neuron micro-filaments (anti-NF, AbCam ab4680, 1/2000 dilution) and neuron nuclei (anti-NeuN, Millipore, MAB377X Alexa488, 1/100 dilution). Each antibody was incubated for one hour, followed by two steps of washing with PBS. Secondary antibodies were incubated at the same time, with anti-NeuN already coupled with Alexa488. We used donkey anti-chicken Cy5 (Millipore, AP194C), donkey anti-rabbit Alexa350 (ThermoFisher, 1710039) and donkey anti-goat Alexa647 (AbCam, ab150135).
Slices were mounted with Permafluor (ThermoFisher, TA-030-Fr), then fluorescence microscopy images acquired with an Axio Vision Observer microscope at x20 magnification (Carl Zeiss).
The patterns of staining intensity across the brain (mainly cortex and hippocampus) were compared to patterns of NEXI model parameters, in particular neurite density f .

Male adult mice were euthanized by CO2 and decapitated, DRGs were dissected out and postfixed in 4% PFA for 1 h at 4 °C. Samples were subsequently washed in PBS and cryopreserved at 4 °C overnight with 30% sucrose in PBS. Tissue was then embedded in OCT and frozen at −20 °C. Samples with 10 μm sections were cut on a freezing sledge microtome (Leica Microsytems) and air dry in room temperature for two hours to prepare for staining. Two mice were used for each immunostaining, showing similar results. Sections were permeabilized in PBS+0.5%Triton-x100 for 10 min. Following blocking in 1%BSA PBS for 1 hour, samples were then incubated in primary antibody, including chicken anti-NEFH (abcam, ab4680), rabbit anti-PTEN (abcam, ab32199), rabbit anti-c-JUN(abcam, ab31419), rabbit anti-STAT5B (abcam, ab76319), rabbit anti-PDCD2 (Proteintech,10725-1-AP) at room temperature for 2 hours.

(Jackson ImmunoResearch 705-545-003 and 703-166-155) for one hour in the room temperature. After PBS washes, slides were subsequently mounted with mounting medium (darko) and visualized with a Nikon Fluorescent microscope.

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.
