The following anti-tau antibodies were used in this study: RD4 (1:1,000, 05–804, Millipore), Tau5 (1:4,000, MA5-12808, ThermoFisher), 2B11 (1:500, 10237, IBL), AT8 (1:1,000, MN1020, ThermoFisher), AT100 (1:1,000, MN1060, Invitrogen), Ser262 (1:2,000, ab64193, Abcam), and pS396 (1:2,000, ab109390, Abcam). The mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) RD4 (directed to amino acids 275–291 of 4-repeat [4R] tau) preferentially recognizes 4R isoform of tau [37]. The mAbs 2B11 (directed to residues 306–312) and Tau5 (recognizing amino acids 218–225) react with both 3R and 4R isoforms of tau. The rabbit polyclonal serum Ser262 reacts with both non-phosphorylated and phosphorylated serine at residue 262. Phosphorylation-dependent antibodies AT8, AT100 and pS396 recognizes pSer202/pSer205, pThr212/pSer214/pThr217, and pSer396, respectively [38,39].

Hippocampal tissue was extracted after decapitation and stored frozen. Brain tissue processing followed established protocols.59 Total protein concentration was quantified by standard BCA assay (Pierce). Equal amounts of protein (25 μg/μL) were separated by SDS‐PAGE on 10% gels and were then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (0.45 μm; Thermo Fisher Scientific). The membranes were blocked for 2 hours with 5% non‐fat dry milk or BSA at room temperature, then incubated at 4°C overnight with the following antibodies: brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; ab108319; Abcam, 1:2000), TREM2 (AF1729, R&D Systems, 1:5000), interleukin 1α (IL‐1α; OTI2F8, Novus Biologicals, 1:2000), human leukocyte antigen‐DR isotype (HLA‐DR; sc‐53319, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:5000), anti‐phospho‐Tau (AT8; MN1020, Invitrogen, 1:1000), and paired helical filaments (PHF; MN1060, Invitrogen, 1:1000). After washing, the membranes were incubated for 1.5 hours at room temperature, with either horseradish peroxidase–labeled anti‐rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG; 31460) or anti‐mouse IgG (31430, Thermo Fisher Scientific, 1:10000). The protein bands were visualized using chemiluminescent substrate (34577, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and quantified with ImageJ. Each sample was normalized to Ponceau staining of total proteins.

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.
