Prefrontal tissue sections from a naive adult rhesus monkey were processed for immunohistochemistry with NeuN (Millipore, 1:1,000) and Olig2 (Abcam, 1:2,000) antibodies, in conjunction with Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit and Alexa Fluor 594 goat anti-mouse IgGs (Invitrogen), using standard procedures. In a second, independent set of immunohistochemistry experiments, small tissue blocks (surface area <0.25 cm2) were dissected from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Area9/46), immersion-fixed in 4 % paraformaldehyde solution for 15–18 hours, dehydrated in 70 %, 90 % and 100 % ethanol (3 × 30 min each) followed by xylene immersion (3 × 20 min) and paraffin-embedded using a Tissue TEK embedding center. Paraffin embedded tissue blocks were cut in 8 µm thick sections and mounted on slides for immunohistochemistry. Sections of three clozapine-exposed animals with elevated proportions of NeuN+ nuclei in white matter were de-paraffinized using xylazine and ethanol. The sections were rehydrated with water, permeabilized with 0.1 % Triton X-100, followed by NeuN staining (1:100, ABN78A4, EMD Millipore). After mounting the tissue with DAPI Fluoromount-G (0100-200, SouthernBiotech), images of NeuN+ subcortical white matter neurons were taken using a Carl Zeiss CLSM780 microscope. Image processing was done with ImageJ (NIH).

Immunofluorescence analysis of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and collagen I was performed using the pancreatic tissue. The pancreatic tissues were fixed in a 10% neutral-buffered-formalin solution for 24 h, embedded within optimal cutting temperature compound, and cut into 9 μm sections.

Nuclei were counter-stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; 5 ng/ml; D1306; Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States) at room temperature for 5 min. The stained sections were visualized using a confocal laser microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).

For immunostaining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS, then the cells were incubated with primary antibodies(anti-NLRP3 antibody (1:100), anti-KAT5 antibody (1:100), anti-GOLGA4(1:200) or anti-TGN38(1:200)) followed by staining with secondary antibody(DyLight 488-labeled secondary antibody (Invitrogen)(1:50),Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated secondary Ab (Invitrogen) (1:50),Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat anti-mouse IgG (minimal x-reactivity) Antibody(1:100) or Cy3–conjugated Affinipure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H + L) (1:100)), while nuclei were stained with DAPI containing mounting medium (Beyotime). To better preserve the dTGN structures in COS-7 cells, 0.01% Triton X-100 and 0.1% saponin were respectively in place of 0.1% Triton X-100 in permeabilization step for immunostaining of GOLGA4 and TGN38. Fluorescence images for fixed cells were taken with confocal fluorescence microscope (SpinSR10; Olympus) and (LSM800; ZEISS).

Patient samples (LV1221) were purchased from US Biomax (Rockville) and analyzed for the expression of TIPRL, LC3, CD133 and CD46 as the following; briefly, de-paraffinization was performed by immersing each slide in the order of xylene, as well as 100, 95, and 70% ethanol (Merck, 1.00983.1011) for five minutes each. Then the slides were subjected to a pre-heated sodium citrate buffer (0.01 M, pH 6.0; Merck, S4641) for 15 minutes to retrieve antigens. After that, the slides were incubated with antibodies against TIPRL (1:100; Bethyl laboratories, A300-663A), LC3 (1:100; Merck, L7543), CD133 (1:100; NOVUS, NBP2-37741) and CD46 (1:200; SCBT, sc-52647) overnight. The slides were then reacted with Alexa Fluor 633 goat anti-rabbit (1:100, TIPRL; Thermo Fisher Scientific, A11079), Alexa Fluor 568 goat anti-rabbit (1:100, LC3; Thermo Fisher Scientific, A21071) and Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse (1:100, CD133 and CD46; Thermo Fisher Scientific, T7458), respectively. Confocal observation (ZEISS LSM 800) was followed by quantification of each expression (Supplementary Table 2) using the Carl Zeiss LSM Image program (ZEN 2.3 lite) according to a previous study29 (link).

Brain dissections, fixation, and immunostaining were performed as described.39 (link),98 (link) To visualize native GFP, tdTomato, and mVenus, we followed our previous adult brain protocol.100 (link) In short, dissected brains were fixed in 4 % [w/v] paraformaldehyde in PBS (1.86 mM NaH2PO4, 8.41 mM Na2HPO4, 175 mM NaCl) for 20 minutes at room temperature. Samples were washed for 3×20 minutes in PBS containing 0.3% (v/v) Triton-X-100 (PBT) and blocked with 5% normal goat serum for at least 30 minutes. Samples were then incubated for 2 days with primary antibodies. After being washed three times with PBT, samples were incubated for 2 days with secondary antibodies in PBT followed by additional washing in PBT and embedding in Vectashield. Primary antibodies used: rabbit anti-GFP (Thermo Fisher Scientific A-11122, 1:1000), mouse anti-GFP (Abcam ab1218, 1:250), rabbit anti-RFP (Abcam ab62341, 1:250), mouse anti-Bruchpilot (DSHB, 1:50).

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.
