Brain single-cell suspensions from 9-mo-old WT mice were stained with Ghost Dye violet 510 (1:1,000; Tonbo Biosciences) and anti–CD16/CD32 antibody (1:100; BD Biosciences) followed by anti-CD11b (1:100; BioLegend), anti-CD45 (1:100; BioLegend), anti-CD11c (1:50; BioLegend), anti-TMEM119 (1:200; Abcam), and anti-CCR2 (1:100; BioLegend). CD11b+ cells were gated from single/live cells followed by subsequent gating of CD11b+CD45low as microglia and CD11b+CD45high as macrophages. To distinguish microglia and macrophages, the CCR2 marker expressed by blood-derived macrophages but not by microglia was used (3 (link), 16 (link)). To further distinguish these two cell types, the microglia-specific marker Tmem119 (17 (link)) was also included. The CD11b+CD45high cells that express CCR2 but not Tmem119 were confirmed as macrophages, while the CD11b+CD45low cells that all express Tmem119 but do not express CCR2 were confirmed as microglia. FMO negative controls were included to confirm the specificity of CD11c staining in CD11b+CD45low microglial populations. Brain CD45 cells that mainly contain nonimmune cells (e.g., neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes) that do not express CD11c were also included as negative controls to further validate the specificity of this strategy.

Histological staining and analysis of total AT8 pTau density, Iba1+, and CD68+ cell count in the DLFC at the depth of the cortical sulcus was performed using the Aperio ScanScope (Leica) as previously described [26 (link)]. For immunofluorescence staining, tissue was extracted from the DLFC, embedded in paraffin, and cut at 20 μm. Immunofluorescence staining was performed using Akoya Bioscience Opal Polaris 7 color manual IHC detection kit as per the manufactures instructions as previously described (tau isoform paper when published). Sections were incubated with antibodies to anti-Iba1 (1:500, Wako), anti-PHF-tau (AT8) (1:1000, Pierce Endogen), anti-TMEM119 (1:100, Abcam), and DAPI. Stained sections were digitized using an Axio Scan.Z1 slide scanner (Zeiss) and visualized using Zen Blue (Zeiss).

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.
