Synaptosome Purification and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two wildtype female ex-breeder Sprague-Dawley rats (Charles River) were sacrificed using a CO2 procedure, in accordance with the approved humane killing protocols detailed in Schedule 1 of the Animals in Scientific Procedures Act, 1986, and the brain cortices dissected. Synaptosomes were purified from the fresh cortices using a previously described method of Percoll gradient fractionation, with four Percoll gradients per rat [34 (link)]. An aliquot of the purified synaptosomes was dissolved in 1% NP-40 and the protein concentration determined by Bradford assay. Accordingly, the synaptosomes were diluted to 1 mg/mL of their total protein content with HEPES-buffered media (pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl (VWR), 5 mM KCl (VWR), 5 mM NaHCO3 (Sigma), 1.2 mM NaH2PO4 (Sigma), 1 mM MgCl2.6H2O (Sigma), 10 mM glucose (VWR), 1 mg/ml BSA (Sigma), 10 mM HEPES (Sigma)) with 5% (v/v) DMSO and frozen in single-use aliquots at − 80 °C. Thawed synaptosomes were characterised by negative staining transmission electron microscopy, performed by the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology Electron Microscopy Facility. Upon thawing, synaptosomes were centrifuged at 3000×g for 10 min at 4 °C and washed once with Live Cell Imaging Solution (Invitrogen), to remove residual BSA before pHrodo-labelling.

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.
