Fixed rat and mouse brains were frozen in Tissue‐Tek OCT and cryo‐sectioned into transverse 35‐μm‐thick slices. Slices were permeabilized for 2 hrs (3% bovine serum albumin and 0.2% Triton in PBS), then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies, washed in PBS and incubated 1.5 hrs in Cy3‐ and FITC‐linked secondary antibodies (Jackson Immuno‐research, West Grove, PA, USA). Primary antibodies included doublecortin (DCX), Mash1, Ngn2, calretinin (CR; Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA), GFAP (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), calbindin (CB) and NeuN (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Antibody specificity was attested by published reports and manufacturer's data or tested by double labelling. Slices were mounted on slides and imaged using an Olympus‐80 fluorescence microscope equipped with FITC and Cy3 filters. Bleed‐through was minimized by dual scanning on two different FITC‐Cy3 filter sets with slightly different bandpass windows.

Purkinje Cell Quantification in Tsc1 Mutant Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were perfused and post-fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. Sections were prepared by cryostat sectioning and were stained with the following antibodies: PhosphoS6 (Cell Signaling, #2211) and calbindin (Sigma, #CB955). Anti-calbindin staining was performed to identify Purkinje cells while PhosphoS6 staining was performed as a marker for mTOR signaling (increased with loss of Tsc1; reduced with rapamycin administration). Purkinje cell numbers were quantified by totaling all Purkinje neurons from midline vermis sections from mice that had been treated for 5 weeks with treatment initiation commencing at either 6 or 10 weeks of age depending on cohort in order to mirror behavioral testing paradigms.

The EVs were labelled with PKH26 (Sigma) as per manufacturer’s instructions, and the free dye was separated from the bound dye by ultrafiltration using 10 kDa MWCO filter columns (Sartorius, Gottingen, Germany). The rats and mice (n = 2/species) were moderately anesthetized with a cocktail of ketamine, xylazine and acepromazine, and their nostrils were treated with 10 µl of hyaluronidase (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) to enhance the permeability of the nasal mucous membrane. Thirty minutes later, labelled EVs were administered (150 × 109 [~75 µg]/rat and 25 × 109 [~12.5 µg]/mouse), as detailed in our recent report [22 ]. Six hours later, the animals were perfused, the brain tissues were processed for cryostat sectioning, and thirty-micrometre-thick coronal sections through the entire forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain, were collected serially. Serial sections through the entire brain were selected and processed for immunofluorescent staining using appropriate primary antibodies against NeuN (1:1000; Millipore), IBA-1 (1:1000; Abcam), GFAP (1:3000; Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), S-100β (1:1000; Sigma) and calbindin (1:500; Sigma), as described in our previous report [22 ]. The sections were examined using Z-section analysis in a confocal microscope for the distribution of EVs in different cell types (neurons, microglia and astrocytes) in multiple regions of the brain.

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.
