Cortical neurons were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and 4% sucrose at RT for 20 min, washed three times with PBS for 5 min each, permeabilized in 0.15% Triton X-100 for 15 min, and then incubated in blocking buffer (4% BSA and 3% normal goat serum) in PBS for 1 hr. Fixed neurons were next incubated with primary antibodies diluted in blocking buffer at 4°C overnight. Primary antibodies were as follows: rabbit anti-TOM20 (1:100, Santa Cruz), anti-myo6 (1:100, Sigma-Aldrich), anti-synaptophysin (1:400, Santa Cruz), and anti-SNPH (1:250); mouse anti-βIII-tubulin (1:5000, Sigma-Aldrich), anti-MAP2 (1:5000, BD Biosciences), anti-SV2 (1:2000, DSHB), anti-myo6 (1:50, Santa Cruz), and anti-cyto c (1:100, BD Biosciences). After washing three times with PBS at RT for 10 min each, samples were incubated with secondary fluorescent antibodies (Alexa 488, 546, 594 or 633 conjugated, Thermo Fisher Scientific) diluted in blocking buffer for 60 min, rewashed with PBS, and mounted with Fluoro-Gel mounting medium (Electron Microscopy Sciences) before imaging.

For reverse co-IPs, protein G-Sepharose 4 Fast Flow beads (GE Healthcare) were pre-bound with 4 μg of the following antibodies, respectively: anti-mitochondrial creatine kinase U-type (MtCK, Abcam, San Francisco, catalog no. ab76506); anti-β-synuclein (Abcam, catalog no. ab76111); anti-apoE (Abcam, catalog no. ab1906); anti-apoAI (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, catalog no. sc-30089); anti-syntaxin 1B (Synaptic Systems, Göttingen, Germany, catalog no. 110402); anti-synapsin 1 (Abcam, catalog no. ab8); anti-synaptogyrin-3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, catalog no. sc-68936); anti-synaptophysin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, catalog no. sc-9116); and anti-synaptotagmin (Millipore, catalog no. MAB5200). These samples were then incubated with 1 mg of lysate at 4 °C overnight. To verify the binding preference of Tau isoforms, dephosphorylated lysates were used adapting a dephosphorylation protocol obtained from New England Biolabs. Beads were washed extensively with IP washing buffer and eluted in 2× SDS-PAGE sample buffer for subsequent Western blot analysis. Blots were probed with the following antibodies: anti-creatine kinase U-type; mitochondrial (MtCK); anti-β-synuclein; anti-apoE; anti-apoAI; anti-syntaxin 1B; anti-synapsin 1; anti-synaptogyrin-3; anti-synaptophysin; anti-synaptotagmin, and anti-Tau. For quantification, ImageJ was used.

Fixed brain hemispheres were cut into 40 µm sagittal sections with a vibratome (Leica). Sections were incubated with primary antibodies and were incubated overnight at 4°C, including anti-Aβ MOAB-2 (6C3) (Millipore) at 1:1000; and anti-GFAP (Invitrogen) at 1:500, anti-Iba1 (Wako) at 1:500; anti-synaptophysin (Santa Cruz) at 1:200, anti-pan-laminin (Sigma) at 1:300; anti-fibrinogen (Dako) at 1:2000; anti-AQP4 (Santa Cruz) at 1:100 or 1:200; anti-occludin (Invitrogen) at 1:100 in 2% normal horse serum in Tris-buffered saline (TBS)-Triton 0.02%. The following day, sections were incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies (1:400; Vector), followed by enhancement with avidin-biotin complex (ABC; Vector) and 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB; Sigma). Images were acquired with a Leica DM2500 microscope connected to a camera (Q-Imaging Micropublisher 3.3 RTV) using Q-capture Pro software. For immunofluorescence, fluorescent secondary antibodies (1:400 Alexa Fluor®, Invitrogen) were used. In some cases, staining with 647-labelled tomato lectin (Vector Labs) was carried out simultaneously with secondary antibody incubation. For Thioflavin S staining, sections were incubated with 1% Thioflavin S (Sigma) for 8 min before being washed with ethanol and H2O.

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.
