Quantifying Neurogenesis via BrdU Labeling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BrdU (50 mg/kg; Sigma) in saline was given i.p. two times daily at 8-hr intervals on consecutive days (days 1–3 after PQ or saline administration). Mice were sacrificed on day 14 after the last injection. Brains were removed following 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS. Adjacent 50-μm sections were cut and stored at −80°C. BrdU detection was performed as described previously (Peng et al., 2008 (link)). Briefly, sections were incubated with 2 μg/mL mouse monoclonal anti-BrdU antibody (1:200, Roche) at 4°C overnight, washed with PBS, incubated with Alexa 488 anti-mouse secondary antibody (1:250) in blocking solution (Life Technologies) for 1 hr, and then washed and mounted on gelatin-coated slides with Fluoromount. SVZ BrdU+ cells were counted blinded in five 50-μm coronal sections per mouse spaced 200 μm apart under high power (200×) using a Nikon E300 microscope with a Magnifire digital camera. Results are expressed as the average number of BrdU+ cells per section.

Frontiers cells were seeded in 24-well plates to measure neurite growth for 24 h and imaged using a Nikon E300 microscope. The wells were photographed in five randomly selected fields at ×100 magnification for analysis. Images were analyzed using the ImageJ software.

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.
