Sections were immunolabeled as previously described (Ellisor et al., 2009 (link)). Sagittal sections from Wnt1-Venus embryos at E8.5, E10.5, and E12.5 were analyzed using an anti-GFP antibody (1:600, Molecular Probes, Cat # A-6455). Adult coronal sections for fate mapping experiments were immunolabeled with an anti-β-galactosidase (β-gal) antibody (1:500, Biogenesis, Cat # 4600-1409 or 1:500, Abcam, Catalog # ab9361-250) to identify Wnt1-derived cells (Ellisor et al., 2009 (link)). In addition, anti-Calretinin (1:5000, Chemicon; Billerica, MA; Catalog # AB1550), anti-Calbindin (1:1000, Swant, Catalog # CB3a), and anti-Parvalbumin (1:1000, Sigma, Catalog # P3088-.2ML) antibodies were used as biomarkers. Secondary antibodies were prepared at 1:500 and include: Alexa 488 (Invitrogen; Cat # A-21206, donkey anti-rabbit IgG; Cat # A-21202, donkey anti-mouse IgG; Cat #A-11055 donkey anti-goat IgG), Dylight 549 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories; Cat #703-505-155, donkey anti-chicken).

Whole-cell and LFP Recordings in Hippocampus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For LFP recordings, glass microelectrodes (tip diameter ~5–10 μm; resistance: 0.2–0.3 MΩ) were filled with ACSF before use. Whole-cell recordings were performed with borosilicate glass electrodes (2–5 MΩ) filled with (in mM) 120 K-gluconate, 10 HEPES, 10 KCl, 3 Mg-ATP, 5 EGTA, 2 MgSO4, 0.3 Na-GTP and 14 phosphocreatine. The pH was adjusted to 7.4 with KOH. LFP signals in the CA3 pyramidal cell layer were amplified 1,000-fold, filtered (1–8 kHz), and sampled at 20 kHz. Whole-cell and extracellular recordings were performed using a Multiclamp 700A amplifier (Axon Instruments). For parallel double patch-clamp and field recordings, a custom-made two channel extracellular amplifier was used. Cells were routinely loaded with 0.2% biocytin. After recordings, slices were transferred to 4% paraformaldehyde. Biocytin-filled cells were subsequently visualized with streptavidin conjugated with Dy-Light 488. After acquisition of confocal images, neuronal reconstruction was performed with the imageJ package (Schneider et al., 2012 (link)). To better estimate the slice position along the dorso-ventral axis slices were either Nissl stained or stained with anti-NeuN (Millipore) or anti-calbindin (Swant) antibodies followed by the secondary polyclonal antibody anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 488 or anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 555 (TermoFisher), respectively.

Brains were removed and immersion-fixed with 4% w/v paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 overnight at 4 °C and either embedded in paraffin or cryoprotected by immersion in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 30% w/v sucrose. Paraffin sections (10 μm-thick), mounted on poly-L-lysine-coated slides, were immunostained with anti-GluA1 antibody (Abcam). All other tissues were quick-frozen on dry-ice, then 30 μm-thick coronal free-floating cerebellar sections immunostained with either anti-calbindin (Swant) or anti-GLAST antibody as described previously (62 (link)). All quantification, carried out blind to genotype, involved counting the number of Purkinje cells in the anterior (lobules I-V, simplex and crus I) and posterior cerebellum (lobules VI -IX, crus II and flocculonodular lobe, lobule X) from three sections/animal and the counts averaged. Data were pooled from GLAST-/- and β-III+/-/GLAST-/- animals as no phenotype observed in β-III+/- animals (62 (link)). Images were captured with either a Zeiss inverted LSM510 or Nikon confocal laser scanning microscope and co-localization analysis carried out using Image J.

Animals were injected with anesthesia cocktail (ketamine/xylazine/acepromazine, 50/5/0.5 mg/kg), and under deep anesthesia animals were perfusion fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. After cryoprotection in 800 mosmol/L sucrose and freezing in Optimal Temperature Cutting (OCT) compound, 5‐μm sections were cut. Sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with anti‐anti‐TRPV5 (1:100, Alomone) or anti‐calbindin (1:500, Swant). Sections were incubated in secondary antibody at 1:2000 for 1 h at room temperature [Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti‐rabbit (Life Technologies A21206) or Alexa Fluor 555 donkey anti‐mouse (Life Technologies A31570)]. All sections were mounted with ProLong Diamond Antifade Mountant (ThermoFisher Scientific P36970). Images were captured with a ZEISS AXIO Imager M2 fluorescent microscope.

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.
