Under Isoflurane anesthesia (3% induction, 1.5–2% for surgery and 1.5% maintenance in a 65:35 mixture of N2O:O2), animals were infused each chemical into the right lateral ventricle (1 mm posterior; 1.5 mm lateral; -3.5 mm depth to the bregma) with a brain infusion kit 1 and an Alzet 1003D osmotic pump (Alzet, United States) for 3 days. Osmotic pump contained (1) control IgG (Abcam, #ab37425, United Kingdom, 50 ug/ml) + vehicle, (2) control IgG + SB202190 (a p38 MAPK inhibitor, 0.3 mg/ml), (3) anti-67-kDa LR IgG (Abcam, #133645, United Kingdom, 50 ug/ml) + vehicle and (4) anti-67-kDa LR IgG (Abcam, #133645, United Kingdom, 50 ug/ml) + SB202190 (0.3 mg/ml). In pilot study and our previous studies (Kim et al., 2016 (link); Ko and Kang, 2017 (link)), each compound treatment did not show behavioral and neurological defects and could not change the seizure susceptibility and seizure severity in response to PILO in normal animals. Three days after surgery (infusion), animals were used for Western blot and immunohistochemistry.

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.
