Immunolabeling of NPCs and derived neurons was accomplished by utilization of a standard two-day protocol with: 15 min fixation in 4% PFA, 10 min permeabilization in 0.1% triton-PBS and 30 min blocking with 5% donkey serum. Following dilutions of antihuman primary antibodies in PBS were applied overnight at 4 °C: Nestin (Millipore, MAB5326, 1:200), SOX2 (Abcam, ab97959, 1:200), Doublecortin (Cell Signaling, 4604S, 1:200), MAP2 (Millipore, MAB3418, 1:200), PSA-NCAM (Millipore, MAB5324, 1:200), PSD95 (Abcam, ab18258, 1:200) Tubulin, beta 3 (Millipore, MAB1637, 1:200). For fluorescence staining, we incubated samples for 2 h with Alexa-488 and Alexa-594 conjugated donkey antibodies (1:200) against mouse and rabbit immunoglobulins (Supplementary Figs 6 and 7 are representative images from two sets of immunolabelled cultures of NPCs and neurons).

The cryoprotected hemibrain tissue was serially cut at 50 μm on a freezing microtome. Serial sections of 500 μm apart spanning the whole hemibrain were immunostained with antibodies to Aβ1–40 and Aβ1–42 (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY #44348A, #44-344) to define Aβ deposits and to doublecortin (Cell Signaling Technology Inc., MA), as a marker of neurogenesis. Immunohistochemical procedures were performed as previously described (Kowall et al., 2000 (link)). In brief, free-floating sections were incubated overnight in primary antibody followed by PBS (Phosphate buffered saline) washes and incubation in peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody followed by development using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) as a chromogen.

We evaluated protein expression levels 21 days after TBI in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of mice. Slides of mouse brains were washed with PBS, immersed in 0.5% Triton-X-100 for 20 min, and then blocked with 1% normal goat serum in PBS containing 0.1 % Tween 20 for 40 min at room temperature. Sections were then diluted with the primary rabbit polyclonal antibody Doublecortin (1:200, #4604, Cell Signaling Technology) and incubated overnight at 4° C. After rinsing with PBS, the specimen sections were incubated with Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) (1:500 A11034, Alexa Fluor 488 Conjugate) for 1 h at room temperature in the dark. Slides were washed in PBS, mounted with mounting medium with DAPI (H-1800, Vector Laboratories), and sealed with coverslips for analysis. Images were captured using a fluorescence microscope. In vitro, cells were discarded from the medium, washed with PBS, and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature. Cells were permeabilized using 0.1% Triton-X100, followed by blocking with 2% bovine serum albumin. Cells were incubated with diluted primary antibody mouse monoclonal antibody MAP-2 (1:500, sc-74421, Santa Cruz) overnight at 4° C. After washing with PBST, diluted secondary antibodies were added for 1 h and then mounted with DAPI for fluorescence microscopy.

Neural progenitor cells derived from control dams were expanded as adherent monolayer cultures under either proliferating or differentiating conditions and were prepared for immunohistochemical analysis and imaging. Cells were transferred to poly-D-lysine coated coverslips after the second passage and grown in complete medium with growth factors EGF and FGF-2. After 2 days, cells were immunostained with the neural stem cell marker Nestin (1:1000; BD Biosciences) and counterstained with DAPI (0.5 μg/mL; Sigma) (Roitbak et al., 2011 (link)). To determine appropriate culture of neurons, cells were transferred to poly-D-lysine coated plates after the second passage and grown in complete medium without growth factors. After differentiation for 7 days without growth factors, cells were immunostained for astrocytes with GFAP (1:1000; Sigma-Aldrich) and neuroblasts and immature neurons were immunostained with doublecortin (1:1500; Cell Signaling) and counterstained with DAPI (0.5 μg/mL; Sigma). Secondary antibodies used for analysis included Alexa Fluor 647 (1:250; Invitrogen; A-21236) and Cy3 (1:500; Invitrogen; A10520). Images for publication were acquired using a Zeiss LSM-510 META confocal microscope equipped with a laser diode, one argon laser, and two HeNe lasers. Maximum intensity projections of Z stacks were acquired with a 20X objective.

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.
