Flow cytofluorometry was used to correlate αsyn expression to the fluorescence resulting from the Venus YFP protein-fragment complementation. After 48h incubation with or without 1μg/ml tetracycline, cells were suspended in PBS supplemented with 1% bovine serum albumin and 2.5% goat serum and subsequently fixed and permeabilized following supplier's instructions (Leucoperm, AbD serotec, USA). Cells were incubated for 1h at RT with anti-αsyn antibodies (1:500; syn-1, 610787, BD) followed by 1h at RT with Alexa Fluor®647-conjugated anti-mouse IgG secondary antibodies (1:1000; A21235, Life tech). Unstained cells and control stainings with isotype control antibodies were also performed. The samples were measured on a flow cytometer (Accuri™C6, BD) and data analysis was performed using FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc., USA).

Mice were anesthetized with Avertin (250 mg/kg body weight) and transcardially perfused with 4% formaldehyde (EMS 15713) in 1x PBS, pH 7.6. The brains were dissected, post-fixed for 2 hours at room temperature and processed through 10% sucrose in PBS overnight followed by 30% sucrose in PBS until they sink. These cryoprotected brains were embedded in 2% gelatin (Sigma G2500), 0.9% NaCl in a metal mold, quickly frozen on a metal block cooled with liquid nitrogen, sectioned with Leica CM1900 at 20 μm thickness and mounted on SuperFrost Gold Plus microscopy slides (Fisher Scientific). The sections were incubated with primary antibodies, chicken anti-GFP (Aves GFP-1020), rabbit anti-RFP (Rockland 600-401-379) and mouse anti-Cre Recombinase, Clone 2D8 (Millipore MAB3120), diluted in Cyto-Q Immuno Diluent and Block (Innovex Biosciences). The secondary antibodies were anti-chicken AF488, anti-rabbit AF555 and anti-mouse AF647, all made in goat (Life Technologies A11039, A21428 and A21235, respectively). The slides were stained with DAPI, mounted with Fluoromount-G (Southern Biotech) and image acquisition was performed with Leica TCS SP5 confocal microscope. The images were analyzed processed with Imaris 7.6.5 (Bitplane).

Images were either captured with an inverted fluorescence microscope (IX51 Olympus) or with a confocal laser scanning microscope (Zeiss LSM 710). Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) images were acquired with the EVOS M7000 Imaging system (Thermo Fisher System). Synaptophysin, tyrosine hydroxylase and griffonia simplicifolia agglutinin-I were quantified using CellProfiler 3.0 (http://cellprofiler.org). Innervation and vascularization densities were quantified as the number of sprinkles normalized to adipocytes count (mm2/adipocytes).

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.
