The samples were prepared as previously reported,[55] with slight modifications. Isolated EVs (PalmReNL‐sEVs: 6 × 107 EVs/µL, PalmReNL‐m/lEVs: 7 × 107 EVs µL−1) were fixed in 1% paraformaldehyde. A formvar‐coated gold grid was kept in a saturated water environment for 24 h and placed on a 50 µL aliquot of EV solution, and allowed to incubate for 20 min while covered. Next, samples were washed and blocked by placing each one face down on top of a 100 µL droplet of the following solutions: PBS (2 ×, 3 min), PBS / 50 mm Glycine (4 ×, 3 min), PBS / 5% BSA (1 ×, 10 min). A 1:100 dilution of anti‐RFP antibody (Rockland Immunochemicals, 600‐401‐379) in 5% BSA/PBS was used for labeling (1 h), followed by six washes in PBS/0.5% BSA. Samples were incubated in a 1:50 dilution of donkey anti‐rabbit immunogold conjugate (Jackson ImmunoResearch, 711‐205‐152) in 5% BSA/PBS (20 min) and washed in PBS (6×) and water (6×). The samples were negative stained with 1% uranyl acetate. Excess uranyl acetate was removed by contacting the grid edge with filter paper and the grid was air‐dried. Samples were observed using a JEOL 1400 Flash Transmission Electron Microscope equipped with an integrated Matataki Flash sCMOS bottom‐mounted camera. The 1400 Flash was operated at 100 kV.

Primary cultured astrocytes seeded on glass coverslips or brainstem organotypic slices excised from the culture membrane were fixed for 15 min in ice-cold 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in phosphate buffer (PBS; pH 7.4). After rinsing in PBS, the samples were incubated for 1 h at room temperature in a solution of 0.3% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich, T8787) and 10% serum. Samples were incubated overnight at 4 °C with anti-RFP antibody (Rockland Immunochemicals, 600-401-379S; 1:200, Limerick, PA, USA), rinsed in PBS and incubated for 1 h at room temperature with Alexa Fluor 594 antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific, R37117, Waltham, MA, USA).

At p30, ChAT‐CreXAi14 mice, both control and whisker‐deprived, were anesthetized with isoflurane as described above and administered an intraperitoneal injection of 200 mg/kg sodium pentobarbital until nonreactive. Following trans‐cardiac perfusion with 1xPBS (5 ml/min) and then 10% formaldehyde in 1xPBS (5 ml/min), mouse brains were collected and further incubated overnight at 4°C in 10% formaldehyde and washed three times with 1xPBS for 30 min. The cortices were dissected and used for iDISCO+ clearing as described initially and further updated in https://idisco.info/idisco‐protocol/. Briefly, during the iDISCO+ protocol, we stained the tdTomato expressing cells with an anti‐RFP antibody (1:1,200 dilution, Rockland, 600‐401‐379) for 5 days followed by Alexa‐647 conjugated donkey anti‐rabbit secondary antibody (1:1,000 dilution, Jackson ImmunoResearch, 711‐605‐152) for 5 days.
Cortex vs striatum quantification: ChAT‐CreXAi14 mice were anesthetized with isoflurane as described above and administered an intraperitoneal injection of 200 mg/kg sodium pentobarbital. Following trans‐cardiac perfusion with 1xPBS (5 ml/min) and then 10% formaldehyde in 1xPBS (5 ml/min), mouse brains were collected and further incubated overnight at 4°C in 10% formaldehyde and washed three times with 1xPBS for 30 min. Brains were cryopreserved in 30% sucrose/ 1xPBS solution overnight and embedded in OCT.

Staining was performed essentially as described previously (Yokomizo et al., 2019 (link), 2012 (link)). Staining was performed using anti-PECAM-1/CD31 antibody (Clone MEC 13.3, BD Pharmingen, 1:500) to detect endothelial cells and anti-RFP antibody (Rockland, 1:1000) to detect tdTomato. For immunofluorescent detection, either Cy3 or Alexa-647 conjugated secondary antibodies were used. All confocal microscopy was carried out on an Olympus FV1200 confocal equipped with GaAsP PMT detectors (Olympus).

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.
