The right hemisphere was collected and fixed either by immersion or perfusion. Then the brains were post-fixed in 4% PFA for 24 h and stored in 30% sucrose for at least 24 h. Tissue was stored at +4°C in cryoprotectant buffer (Sucrose 150 g, 0.1 M PB 200 mL, Ethylene glycol 150 mL, add more 0.1 M PB to reach a final volume of 500 mL) and shipped to PsychoGenics (Czechia). A systematic random set of 5 sagittal sections from 5 different mediolateral levels per mouse was labeled for Aβ, using an antibody to residues 1–4 of Aβ (MOAB2, Abcam 126649, dilution 1/1,000). Sections were counterstained with DAPI to visualize nuclei. Antibody binding was visualized using a highly cross-absorbed fluorescently labeled secondary antibody (Abcam 150106, dilution 1/500). All antibodies were diluted in antibody diluent (Dako, S 302283–2), and unspecific endogenous IgG binding was blocked with M.O.M. (Vector MKB 2213-1) before primary incubation. Entire brain sections were imaged on a Zeiss AxioScan.Z1 slide scanner microscope. Quantifications using the stored ROIs were done using Image Pro Premier software (v 9.1 or higher).

Immunostaining of Primary Neurons

Primary neurons on coverslips were washed 10min in dPBS, then permeabilized in dPBS + 0.1% Triton-X for 5min at RT. The neurons were then blocked in 10% normal donkey serum + 0.5% Triton in PBS for 1hr, and further blocked with mouse-on-mouse (MOM) blocking buffer (Vector Labs, MKB-2213-1) at 1 drop Mouse IgG block buffer per 4ml PBS. Primary antibodies were diluted in MOM Antibody dilution buffer (80ul protein concentrate to 1ml PBS), and cells were incubated in primary antibody solution overnight at 4°C (anti-ApoE 1:5000, Millipore 178479; anti-MHC-I (OX18) 1:50, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies sc-53074; anti-MAP2 1:500, Millipore ab5622; anti-p-Tau (PHF1) 1:300, from Peter Davis). The next day, cells were washed 3x (15min, 10min, 5min) in PBS with 0.1% Triton-X. Secondary antibodies were diluted in MOM Antibody Dilution Buffer (1:1500), and incubated with the cells for 1hr at RT. Cells were again washed 3x (15min, 10min, 5min) in PBS with 0.1% Triton-X. Coverslips were then mounted to microscope slides (Vectashield, Prolong Gold).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Autophagy and Macrophages

Immunohistochemistry for detection of the LC3 protein and the macrophage marker F4/80 was carried out using standard protocols. Briefly, unstained sections of lungs or tumors were deparaffinized and rehydrated, and then incubated in the peroxidase blocking reagent (BioVision cat #K405-50). Antigen retrieval was perfomed by boiling the sections in sodium citrate for 20 min. To decrease background staining, the slides were incubated for 1 h in the mouse on mouse blocking reagent (Vector Labs MKB-2213-1), followed by overnight incubation with the primary antibodies (LC3B Cell Signaling 3868S rabbit polyclonal, 1:300; or F4/80 Cell Signaling 70076S rabbit monoclonal, 1:200). Next day, the slides were washed and incubated with One-Step HRP polymer (BioVision cat #K405-50) for 30 min at RT. The slides were then washed several times and then incubated with the DAB chromogen for 10 min at RT, followed by several washing steps and quick counterstain with Hematoxylin. Slides were then mounted and visualized under the upright microscope (Nikon).

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.
