For immunostaining, mice were deeply anesthetized with Fatal‐Plus and perfused with cold PBS, followed by 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS, pH 7.4. Brains were removed and post‐fixed overnight at 4°C and submerged in 30% sucrose. Forty‐micrometer‐thick sections were cut on a sliding microtome, blocked in 5% normal goat serum, and incubated overnight at 4°C in biotin‐conjugated WFA (1:1000; Sigma‐Aldrich L1516) to label PNNs, rabbit anti‐PCP4 (1:500, SCBT, sc‐74186) or mouse anti‐regulator of G‐protein signaling 14 (RGS‐14) (1:500, UC Davis/NIH NeuroMab Facility, AB_10698026) to label CA2 pyramidal cells, or guinea pig anti‐ZNT3 antibody (1:500, Synaptic systems #197 004) to label axons from the dentate gyrus (mossy fibers). Sections were washed three times in PBS and incubated in combinations of the following secondary antibodies at 1:500 for 40 min at room temperature: streptavidin Alexa‐488 (Invitrogen #S11226), goat anti‐rabbit A633 (Invitrogen #A21071), goat anti‐mouse A488 (Invitrogen # A11008), or goat anti‐guinea pig A633 (Invitrogen #A21105). Sections were mounted with Vectashield antifade mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories #H‐1500). Images were acquired on a Zeiss laser scanning confocal (LSM510 NLO) or a Zeiss light microscope using controlled camera settings. Images from the different wavelengths were pseudo‐colored for figure clarity.

2 × 104 T84 cells were seeded on glass coverslips and grown to 20% confluency and cells were processed as for western blotting experiments. After the indicated infection time, cells were washed 3 times with PBS, fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde, blocked with PBS containing 3% bovine serum albumin (Sigma Aldrich, A7030), and incubated with specific antibodies as indicated in the analysis of autophagy section. Secondary anti-mouse Alexa-488 and secondary anti-rabbit Alexa-633 conjugated antibodies were used (Invitrogen, A21202 and A21071 respectively. Coverslips were mounted in Prolong Gold antifade reagent (Molecular probes, P36935) with the nuclei-staining dye DAPI (Life Technologies, P36935) and visualized with a Zeiss Axiophot confocal fluorescence microscope (Marly le Roy, France). For quantification, 30 to 50 GFP-LF82 bacteria, on 3 different images, were counted and assayed for their colocalization with LC3-II, LAMP1, EEA1, ATG16L1 and ULK1. Each experiment was repeated at least 2 times.

Fluorescent staining of target proteins was performed as previously described (Peleg et al., 2010 (link)). In brief, mice were transcardially perfused with 4% PFA, brains isolated and post-fixed for another 16 h in 4% PFA. Free-floating cryosections (30 μm) were incubated with 5% goat serum for blocking and followed by incubation with target-specific primary antibodies (anti-NeuN [A60, MAB377, Merck Millipore, 1:1000, anti-GFAP [G5601, Promega, 1:1000], anti-IBA1 [019-19741, WAKO, 1:1000]). Corresponding secondary antibodies were from life Technologies (anti-mouse Alexa-488 labeled, A11029; anti-rabbit Alexa-633 labeled, A21071). Images were taken on a Leica SP2 confocal microscope. Stereological analysis of the number of cells was performed on 4 serial 40 μm free-floating coronal sections per animal which were analyzed by confocal microscopy to count cells expressing the indicated marker. Cell number was assessed as areal density across the CA1 region. The data was normalized to the 3 month groups.

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.
