We incubated free-floating coronal sections (50 µm) (n=3) in PB supplemented with 4% BSA and 0.3% Triton X-100 for 1 h. We then incubated the sections with cocktails of primary antibodies (mouse anti-mCherry [1:500, Clontech Laboratories, 632543; RRID: AB_2307319] + guinea pig anti-vGluT1 [1:500, Frontier Institute, vGluT1-GP-Af570; RRID: AB_2571534]) overnight at 4°C. After rinsing 3×10 min in PB, we incubated the sections in a cocktail of the corresponding fluorescence secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor 488– anti–guinea pig [706-545-148 RRID: AB_2340472] + Alexa Fluor 594–anti-mouse [715-586-151 RRID: AB_2340858] Jackson Immunoresearch Laboratories, 1:100 dilution) for 2 h at room temperature. After rinsing, we mounted sections on slides. We collected fluorescent images with an Olympus FV1000 Confocal System (Olympus). We took images sequentially with different lasers with 10X or 100X oil immersion objectives and we collected z-axis stacks at 0.2 µm. We successfully repeated this procedure three times.

Mice were administered a xylazine and ketamine cocktail (10 mg and 100 mg per kg body weight, respectively) intraperitoneally and were transcardially perfused with 8–10 ml of 0.9% saline, followed by 8–10 ml of 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS. Following extraction, brains were placed in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS overnight, before being placed in 30% sucrose in PBS for 5–7 d in preparation for sectioning. Then, 40-μm coronal sections were prepared using a freezing microtome and tissue was labeled with the following antibodies: chicken anti-GFP (1:500 dilution; Aves Labs, GFP-1020), mouse anti-mCherry (1:500 dilution; Clontech, 632543), rabbit anti-cFos (1:500 dilution; Synaptic Systems, 226 003), Alexa-488 donkey anti-chicken (1:250 dilution; Jackson Immuno Research, 703-545-155), Cy3 donkey anti-rabbit (1:250 dilution; Jackson Immuno Research, 711-165-152) and Cy3 donkey anti-mouse (1:250 dilution; Jackson Immuno Research, 715-165-151).

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.
