Fresh frozen cerebral cortex was homogenized in RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM EDTA, 2 mM EGTA, 50 mM NaF, 0.5% SDS, 1% NP-40) containing a protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Applied Science). Protein concentrations were determined by BCA (Thermo Scientific). Proteins were separated on an SDS-PAGE gel, and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad). Membranes were blocked in TBS (100 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl) containing 0.1% Tween-20, and 5% nonfat milk solution for 1 h, then incubated with one of the following primary antibodies: mouse-anti-PSD95 (1:1000; EMD Biosciences), mouse-anti-synaptophysin (1:500; Sigma), or mouse anti-βIII-Tubulin (1:2000; Sigma) overnight at 4 °C on a rotary shaker. Membranes were washed three times with 0.1% TBS prior to addition of an anti-mouse IgG horse radish peroxidase secondary antibody (1:2000; Cell Signaling Technology). Proteins were visualized by chemiluminescence (Millipore) on a QBOX imaging system (Syngene). Densitometry analysis was performed in ImageJ (NIH) using the gel analyzer plug-in.

Endocytosis Assay for SV Recycling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The endocytosis assay to monitor SV recycling was performed using rabbit polyclonal antibodies directed against the intravesicular domain of synaptotagmin1 (Synaptic System), applied for 5 min if not indicated otherwise at RT on the cultures, as described previously (Matteoli et al., 1992 (link)). Incubations with the antibody (1:400) were performed in Tyrode solution containing 124 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 30 mM glucose, 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4 and 2 mM CaCl2. After fixation and permeabilization, a synaptophysin counter staining with mouse anti synaptophysin, 1:400 (Sigma-Aldrich) visualized the totality of SV. Acquired images were processed and quantitatively analyzed with ImageJ software as previously described (Verderio et al., 1999 (link)). Briefly, GFP positive processes were manually tracked and the number of synaptotagmin and synaptophysin positive clusters and synaptophysin positive clusters present in the region of interest were automatically counted.

Sections were treated with the kit-supplied appropriate mouse or rabbit HRP-conjugated secondary antibody and visualized with DAB. Sections were hematoxylin counterstained, dehydrated, and coverslipped with Permount (Fisher Scientific). Sections were digitally scanned with MIRAX SCAN for analysis (Zeiss, Don Mills, ON, Canada).

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.
