After removal from the freezer, sections were washed three times for 10 min at room temperature in Tris-buffered saline with Tween-20 (TBS-T), Tris-buffered saline (TBS) and TBS-T. Sections were then incubated overnight at 4 • C in TBS-T containing the following primary antibodies:
rabbit anti-TrkB (#4606Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA; 1:100),
mouse anti-FLAG (#F3165 Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO; 1:200),
mouse anti-NeuN (#MAB377B Millipore; 1:50), mouse anti-GFAP-biotin (#ab79203 Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom; 1:400),
mouse anti-S100 (#S2532 Sigma-Aldrich; 1:500),
goat anti-doublecortin (#sc-8066 Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA; 1:200). After washing in TBS-T/TBS/TBS-T, sections were incubated for 2 h at 4 • C with the following secondary antibodies: donkey anti-rabbit Alexa-488 (#A-21206 Invitrogen; 1:100), donkey anti-mouse Alexa-488 (#A-21202 Invitrogen; 1:100), donkey anti-mouse Alexa-594 (#A-21203 Invitrogen; 1:100), Alexa-350 streptavidine conjugate (#S-11249 Invitrogen, 1:500), donkey anti-goat Alexa-594 (#A-11058 Invitrogen; 1:100). After washing in TBS/TBS/TBS, nuclear counterstaining was performed by 30 min incubation at room temperature with Hoechst in TBS (#33342 Sigma-Aldrich; 1:500). TUNEL staining was done using the TUNEL reaction buffer kit (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) and streptavidine-Alexa-Fluor-594 (1:2.000 in TBS-T, Invitrogen).
