Mice were anesthetized and perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde. Brains were extracted, dehydrated in 30% sucrose solution, embedded in OCT, and continuously sliced at 25 μm thickness. The immunohistochemistry staining was processed as previously described31 (link): tissue sections were blocked with 3% H2O2 for 15 min and 5% goat serum for 30 min at room temperature after heat-induced antigen retrieval. The sections were then incubated with primary antibody to TH (1:500, AB152, Merck-Millipore) at 4 °C for 12 h and followed by incubating with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled goat anti-rabbit (1:300; 31460, ThermoFisher Scientific). The number of TH-positive cells in the SN area was determined by stereological methods, as previously described32 (link). For immunofluorescence staining: tissue sections were blocked with 5% goat serum for 30 min at room temperature and were incubated with primary antibodies to IBA1 (1:500, 019-19741, Wako) and GFAP (1:500, G3893, Sigma–Aldrich) at 4 °C for 12 h. The sections were then incubated with fluorescent-labeled goat anti-rabbit (1:500, 111-545-144, Jackson ImmunoResearch) and goat anti-mouse (1:500, 115-165-075, Jackson ImmunoResearch).

The immunostaining and counting of TH+ neurons in zebrafish were performed as previously described42 (link). Briefly, adult fish were sacrificed by the addition of 0.1% tricaine to the circulating water of the breeding system. Brains were removed, explanted, and fixed with 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde in PBS (Nacalai) at 4 °C O/N. The specimens were embedded in 2% low-melting agarose, and 200 μm axial sections were prepared using a PRO7 microslicer (Dosaka EM, Kyoto, Japan). Floating slices were incubated with 10 mM sodium citrate buffer, pH 8.5, at 80 °C for 120 min. After washing with PBS containing 1% Triton X-100, sections were blocked with 2% BSA in PBS/1% Triton X-100 buffer for 30 min. These pretreated sections were incubated with a rabbit anti-TH antibody (1/500, AB152, EMD-Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) O/N at 4 °C. After washing with PBS/1% Triton X-100 buffer, the sections were incubated with anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to Alexa Fluor 594 (1/100, ThermoFisher Scientific) O/N at 4 °C. The sections were washed with PBS/1% Triton X-100 buffer and analyzed using an A1R+ confocal microscope (Nikon).

Flies, in which CrebB knockout was induced, were moved for 6 days to 29°C before antibody staining experiments. Male adult brains were dissected in phosphate-buffered-saline (PBS) and fixed at room temperature for 30 min with a 3.7% formaldehyde solution (in PBS). Brains were washed at least five times with PBST (PBS with 0.3% triton X-100) before primary antibodies were added for overnight incubation at 4°C. The following primary antibodies were used: rabbit anti-Eyeless (1:400, courtesy of Uwe Waldorf), chicken anti-GFP (1:1000, Abcam ab13970), rabbit anti-GFP (1:1000, Invitrogen A-6455), guinea pig anti-CrebB (1:400), rabbit anti-Tyrosine hydroxylase (1:100, Merck AB152), mouse anti-Repo (1: 20, Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank 8D12), mouse anti-Discs large (1:50, Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank 4F3). Brains were washed again before the overnight incubation at 4°C with secondary antibodies. The used secondary antibodies were conjugated with Alexa fluorescent proteins (488, 567 or 647; Molecular Probes) and diluted 1:200. After a last washing step, brains were mounted in Vectashield H-1000 or Vectashield with DAPI H-1200 (Vector Laboratories) on a microscope slide. Samples were imaged with Leica SP5 confocal microscope and the images were processed with Imaris Bitplane 9.2 and Adobe Photoshop CS6.

A polyclonal antibody to TH (catalog No. AB152, EMD Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA) and TPH2 (catalog No. ABN60, EMD Millipore Corporation) were used for immunohistochemistry as the primary antibody. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (catalog No. 65-6111, Invitrogen) was used as the secondary antibody. The immunohistochemical staining procedure was performed according to previously reported methods and conditions (Sutoo et al. 2002 (link)). Slices were rinsed with PBS four times for a total of 60 min. Primary antibodies were diluted 1:200 for TH and 1:400 for TPH2 with PBS and placed on each brain slice, then reacted for 12 h at 4 °C in a moist dark box. After reaction, the slices were rinsed four times with PBS for a total of 60 min. The secondary antibody was diluted 1:100 with PBS, placed on each slice, and incubated at 24 °C for 3 h in a moist dark box. After the reaction, the slices were rinsed four times with PBS for a total of 60 min. Finally, these slides were embedded in 10% glycerin in PBS and kept moist at 4 °C in a dark box.

Mouse brain tissue was prepared by fixation via transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde. Brains were then removed and equilibrated in graded sucrose solutions, frozen at −8°C in OCT solution, and cryosectioned at 25 μm for fluorescence/immunofluorescence imaging. Tissue processed in this way was suitable for imaging of endogenous protein fluorescence, immunofluorescence, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactivity was detected using rabbit anti-TH (AB152, EMD Millipore, RRID:AB_390204). Multi-channel FISH was performed with the RNAscope Multiplex Fluorescent V2 kit, according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Advanced Cell Diagnostics). The probes used included: EGFP, #400281-C2 (channel 2) and Mm-Rln3-C1 (channel 1).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were euthanized using fatal plus at the desired time points after injection. Under deep anesthesia, mice were rapidly transcardially perfused with 15ml of ice-cold 1X PBS containing heparin for approximately 2 miniutes, followed by perfusion with ice-cold 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA; 25 ml at 5 ml/min). Brains were further post-fixed in 4% PFA for 24 hours, then transferred to ice-cold 10% sucrose solution and incubated at 4°C overnight. The 10% sucrose were then replaced with ice-cold 30% sucrose, and brains were allowed to equilibrate completely at 4 °C, as evidenced by their sinking to the bottom of the container. Brains were then sectioned immediately on a freezing sliding microtome and processed for immune-staining as described previously (Wang et al., 2014 (link); Wang et al., 2015 (link)). We used the following primary antibodies for immunohistochemistry: antibodies against tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, rabbit: AB152, 1:4000; EMD Millipore, Temecula, CA), neuronal nuclei (Neu-N, 1:4000, CHEMICON, Temecula, CA), ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule-1 (Iba-1; 1:5000, Wako Chemicals, Richmond, VA), and CD11b (1:400, AbD Serotec, Raleigh, NC). Immuno-staining was visualized by using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and urea-hydrogen peroxide tablets or nickel-enhanced DAB.

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.
