Immunoblot analysis was carried out under standard conditions (Marrocco et al., 2012 (link)) using the following primary antibodies: anti-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH H126, Santa Cruz, 1:1000); anti-D1 receptors (Ab20066, Abcam, 1:500), anti-D2 receptors (Ab85367, Abcam, 1:500), anti-DAT (high affinity DA transporter) (ab111468, Abcam, 1:1000); anti-adenosine receptors (sc-13937, Santa Cruz, 1:500), synaptic vesicle-associated proteins: anti-Rab3a (#107111, Synaptic Systems, 1:2000); anti-Munc18 (#116011, Synaptic Systems 1:2000; anti-SNAP 25 (sc-136,267, Santa Cruz 1:5000); anti-SYP (sc-9116 Santa Cruz 1:8000), and anti-syntaxin (sc-13994, Santa Cruz 1:4000). Secondary antibodies directed against rabbit or mouse antibodies (Amersham) were used at 1:7500 dilution. After immunoblotting, digitized images of bands immunoreactive to the target antibodies and actin were acquired (FUSION®) and the area of immunoreactivity corresponding to each band was measured using ImageJ imaging software. The ratios of the targets to actin were then determined and these values were compared to check statistical significance.

Western Blot Analysis of Synaptic Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total protein samples for western blot analysis were extracted from cultured NRNs or the left ventricle and hippocampi of the mice after they were anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (100 mg/kg, i.p.). Mouse death was then confirmed by exsanguination according to a previously described method [31 (link)]. Hippocampi for primary cell culture were collected from neonatal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats after the administration of 20% isoflurane and confirmation of death by cervical dislocation. Anti-SNAP-25 (1:1000, ab5666, Abcam, MA, USA), anti-VAMP-2 (1:10000, 104,211, Synaptic Systems, Gottingen, Germany) and anti-Syntaxin-1A (1:5000, 100,111, Synaptic Systems, Gottingen, Germany), anti-Munc-18 (1:1000, 116,002, Synaptic Systems, Gottingen, Germany), anti-CD63 (1:1000, ab193349, Abcam, MA, USA),were used as primary antibodies. β-actin (1:1000, G8795, Sigma, Saint Louis, MO, USA) was selected as an internal control. The blots were detected with an Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA). The final results were expressed as fold changes compared with the control values.

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.
