Astrocyte cultures were washed with PBS, fixed in paraformaldehyde 4% for 20 min at room temperature, washed in PBS (0.1 m) and blocked 1 h in PBS containing albumin (4%). The following primary antibodies were used: mouse anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein monoclonal antibody (dilution 1:3 000; Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA; MAB3402), chicken anti-MAP-2 polyclonal antibody (dilution 1:3 000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK; ab5392), rabbit anti-clathrin heavy-chain polyclonal antibody (1 μg ml−1; Abcam; ab21679), rabbit anti-actin polyclonal antibody (dilution 1:200; Sigma-Aldrich; A2066) and mouse anti-actin monoclonal antibody (dilution 1:1 000). Secondary fluorescent antibodies (dilution 1:600) were purchased from Jackson Immunoresearch (Bar Harbor, ME, USA). A counterstaining with DAPI (3 ng ml−1) was realized in some experiments. Confocal laser-scanning microscopy was performed using a Leica SP5 II confocal microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany).

Embryos were fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) at 4°C and either embedded in OCT or paraffin, sectioned at 12 μm or 7 μm, respectively, and immunostained. OCT sections were washed in PBS and, if required, antigen retrieved (2100 Retriever, Aptum Biologics Ltd.), using 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6), incubated in 5% serum at room temperature (RT), and then overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies (Table S2). Sections were washed in PBS, incubated with secondary fluorescent antibodies (used at 1-5 μg/ml; Jackson Laboratories or Thermo Fisher) for 2 h at RT, washed in PBS, post-fixed in 4% PFA, rinsed in water, and mounted with Fluoromount-G (Southern Biotech). Paraffin sections were immunostained for SOX9 and COL2 (Table S2) according to Blitz et al. (2013) (link).

FG-3019 (10 mg/kg) and control IgG (10 mg/kg)—both administered intraperitoneal every week at initiation of hypoxia exposure (Wang et al., 2011 (link))—were the kind gift of FibroGen Inc. (San Francisco, CA). Bleomycin Sulfate, ML141, and dichloromethylenediphosphonic acid disodium salt (clodronate) was purchased through MilliporeSigma. Lipids and cholesterol for liposome production were bought from Avanti Polar Lipids. EBM-2 culture media (Lonza), with EGM-2 bulletkit, was utilized for all in vitro experiments. Primer sequences are as follows: CTGF forward primer GGGAGAACTGTGTACGGAGC; CTGF reverse primer AGTGCACACTCCGATCTTGC; CD11b forward primer ATGGACGCTGATGGCAATACC; CD11b reverse primer TCCCCATTCACGTCTCCCA; 18S forward primer ACCTGGTTGATCCTGCCAGTAG; and, 18S reverse primer TTAATGAGCCATTCGCAGTTTC. Antibodies used in this study were: anti-GFP (Aves), MECA-32 (BD Biosciences), CTGF (BD Biosciences), CD11b (Abcam), F4/80 (BD Biosciences), CD31 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and GAPDH (Abcam). Antibodies for flow cytometry used in this study were: CD45 (FITC; BioLegend), CD11b (APC-Cy7; BioLegend), and IgG2 (isotype control; BioLegend). Active Cdc42 detection kit was purchased through Cell Signaling Technology. Secondary fluorescent antibodies were from Jackson Immunoresearch.

Immunohistochemical Characterization of Ischemic Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three days after ischemia, animals were perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer. Brain tissues were postfixed for 4–6h and immersed in gradient sucrose solutions for 24–48h at 4°C until they sank. Sections were cut (20μm thickness) with a cryostat and prepared for imunostaining. The slides were blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin containing 0.3% Triton X-100 for 1h. Sections were then incubated (overnight at 4°C) with the following primary antibodies: rabbit anti mouse Iba1 (1:500; Wako), goat anti mouse Arg1 (1:100; Santa Cruz), rabbit anti mouse iNOS (1:200; Abcam), mouse anti-8 hydroxyguanosine (8-OHG, Abcam, 1:200), mouse anti-NeuN (1:500, Chemicon), rabbit anti-Caspase 3(1:200, Abcam). The sections were then incubated (for 1h at room temperature) with the respective secondary fluorescent antibodies (all 1:500; Jackson ImmunoResearch) to visualize the primary antibodies. Images were acquired with a confocal microscope (Olympus).

The mice sagittal tissue sections from the anti-freezing medium were taken and then mounted onto the superfrost glass slides, air-dried for 1 h, and washed twice in distilled water 5 min each. To access epitopes slides were incubated at 65 • C (water bath) for 20 min in 10 mM Sodium citrate (pH 6) containing 0.05% Tween (Preheat buffer), followed by washes in Trizma base solution (TBS) and incubation overnight with primary antibodies for GABAR2a (Novus Biologicals; NBP2-36560), NPTX2 (Abcam, ab69858) and GLUR1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc13152). After washing for 3 times with TBS, secondary fluorescent antibodies (Jackson Immuno, UK) were incubated for 3 h followed by washes and nuclear staining with DAPI (4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole). After washing, slides were mounted on aqueous mounting media. Chromagen immunostainig was conducted using biotynilated secondary antibodies, followed by horse-reddish peroxidase-bound streptavidin and 3,3 ′ -diaminobenzidine (DAB) as previously described (Marathe et al., 2015) . Slides were dehydrated and mounted using resinous mounting media.

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.
