For immunofluorescence staining, paraffin-embedded brain sections were prepared as described in our previous studies11 (link). The primary antibodies used in the experiments included anti-HMGB1 Ab (R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN), anti-AQP4 Ab (Abcam Plc, Cambridge, UK), anti-IL-1β Ab (R&D Systems Inc.), anti-microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) Ab (Abcam Plc), anti-glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) Ab (Abcam Plc), anti-ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1) Ab (Wako, Osaka, Japan) and anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) Ab (Abcam Plc). In order to investigate the cellular source as well as the localization of IL-1β, double immunohistochemical staining was carried out with cell marker antibodies including MAP2, GFAP, iba1 or MPO antibodies and an antibody against IL-1β. The sections were then incubated with secondary Abs conjugated with Alexa-488, Alexa-555 or Alex594, which were purchased from Invitrogen (Tokyo, Japan). Finally, the sections were mounted using VECTASHIELD Hard Set Mounting Medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories Inc., Burlingame, CA) and observed under an LSM 780 confocal microscopic system (Carl Zeiss Inc., Jena, Germany). The counting was performed in a blinded manner.

Slides were thawed to room temperature, and lines drawn to partition the edges of sections on the glass slides using a PAPpen (ImmEdge Pen; Vector Labs H4000). The sections were rehydrated, blocked, permeabilized and immunostained with primary antibodies: PAX6 (BioLegend, 1:200), SOX2 (Santa Cruz, 1:100), β-tubulin III (Sigma, 1:1000), FOXG1 (Takara, 1:500), SOX10 (Santa Cruz, 1:100), Ki67 (Thermo Fisher, 1:200), Nestin (Millipore, 1:200), GFAP (Millipore, 1:400), S100beta (DAKO Potts, 1:400), CTIP2 (Abcam, 1:500), SATB2 (Abcam, 1:50), MAP2AB (Abcam, 1:1000-2000), NeuN (Millipore, 1:200), TBR1(Abcam, 1:500), BRN2 (Millipore, 1:500), MEF2C (Novis, 1:200), AT8 (Invitrogen, 1:1000), PHF1 (gift from Peter Davies,1:1000), Total Tau (DAKO Potts, 1:200), DA9 (gift from Peter Davies, 1:1000), ELAVL4 (Santa Cruz, 1:200), TIA1 (Santa Cruz, 1:100), G3BP1 (Protein Tech, 1:200), VGLUT1 (gift from Susan Morton, Tom Jessell, 1:16,000), Calbindin1 (Swant, 1:10,000), Homer1 (SYSY, 1:250) and Synapsin1 (Millipore, 1:100). Primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4C, washed three times with PBS and then incubated with corresponding Alexa Fluor conjugated secondary antibody (1:333-1000) for 1 hour at room temperature. Sections were coverslipped and imaged using fluorescence and confocal microscopy (Zeiss AXIO Observer.Z1; Zeiss 780).

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.
