Immunofluorescence Analysis of Synaptic Markers

For immunofluorescence analyses, 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) fixed coronal or sagittal brain slices (30 μm thick) were processed. After blocking tissue with 5% swine serum and 2% BSA in permeabilizing conditions (0.1% Triton X-100, Sigma-Aldrich, # T8787), immunofluorescence was performed by overnight incubation at 4 °C with a rabbit anti-HA primary antibody (Cell Signaling, #3724, 1:500 dilution), in combination with one of four primary guinea pig antibodies against synaptic markers: Homer1b/c (Synaptic Systems, #160 025, 1:200), Nlgn2 (Synaptic Systems, #129 205, 1:500), vGluT1 (Synaptic Systems, #135 304, 1:15,000), vGAT (Synaptic Systems, #129 205, 1:500). This was followed by incubation with corresponding Alexa 488 goat anti-guinea pig (Invitrogen, #A-11073, 1:500) and Alexa 594 goat anti-rabbit (Invitrogen, #A-11012, 1:500) secondary antibodies. Slides were mounted with either Vectashield Antifade Mounting Medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, # H-1200) or ProLong Gold Antifade Reagent with DAPI (Cell Signaling Technology, # 8961S).

Immunocytochemistry and Western Blot Antibody Validation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary antibodies used for immunocytochemistry were all diluted 1:200, for western blotting a dilution of 1:500 was used (except for Actin which was diluted 1:100000). The Shank2 (“ppI-SAM pabSA5192”) and Shank3 antibodies (“PRC pab,” simply referred to as “Shank3” in the study and “C-term/ProSAP2/Shank3”) have been characterized previously (Bockers et al., 1999 (link); Bockmann et al., 2002 (link); Schmeisser et al., 2012 (link)). The following primary antibodies were purchased from commercial suppliers: Actin (Sigma-Aldrich Cat# A2228 RRID:AB_476697), Bassoon (Enzo Life Sciences Cat# ADI-VAM-PS003-F RRID:AB_11181058), CTIP2 (Abcam Cat# ab18465 RRID:AB_2064130) GAD65 (Abcam Cat# ab85866 RRID:AB_1860505), Homer 1b/c (Synaptic Systems GmbH Cat# 160 023, no RRID yet), GluN1 (Sigma-Aldrich Cat# G8913 RRID:AB_259978), Shank1 (Novus Cat# NB300-167 RRID:AB_2187584), SPO (Synaptic Systems GmbH Cat# 102 002 RRID:AB_887841), Syn1/2 (Synaptic Systems GmbH Cat# 160 003, no RRID yet), VGLUT1 (Synaptic Systems GmbH Cat# 135 304 RRID:AB_887878), VGLUT2 (Synaptic Systems GmbH Cat# 135 404 RRID:AB_887884), and VGLUT 3 (Synaptic Systems Cat# 135204, no RRID yet).

In this study, the following primary antibodies were used: anti-MAP2 (Encor, CPCA-MAP2), anti-LC3A (Cell Signaling, 4599), anti-ChAT (custom made by Abcam in rat using the same epitope as ab181023), anti-Synaptophysin (Abcam, ab14692), Homer1 b/c (Synaptic Systems, 160 025), anti-LAMP1 (Invitrogen, MA1-164), anti-cleaved caspase 3 (Cell Signaling, 9661), anti-ubiquitin (Abcam, ab7254), anti-C9orf72 (Genetex, GTX632041, anti-β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich, A5441), anti-RagC (Cell Signaling, 9480), anti-FLCN (Proteintech, 11236-2-AP), anti-NPRL2 (Cell Signaling, 37 344).
For western blot experiments, we used HRP-conjugated anti-Mouse purchased from DAKO.
For immunostainings, the following secondary antibodies from ThermoFisher Scientific were used: goat anti-Chicken DyLight 350 (SA5-10069), goat anti-Mouse Alexa Fluor® 488 (A-11001), goat anti-Rabbit Alexa Fluor® 488 (A-11008), goat anti-Mouse Alexa Fluor® 568 (A-11004), goat anti-Rabbit Alexa Fluor® 568 (A-11011), goat anti-Chicken Alexa Fluor® 647 (A32933), goat anti-Mouse Alexa Fluor® 647 (A-21235), goat anti-Rabbit Alexa Fluor® 647 (A-21244).

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.
