Qualitative Analysis of VWM Brain Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
From our collection of VWM patient brain tissue, tissue of 14 patients, involving seven different brain regions (frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes; corpus callosum; internal capsule; and cerebellum) was analyzed by two different investigators. However, being archive material, only qualitative microscopic analysis of previously stained sections was possible and no additional stains for quantification could be performed. Formalin‐fixed, paraffin−embedded tissue sections (6 μm thick) were deparaffinized and stained with haematoxylin and eosin or Bodian. For immunohistochemistry, heat−induced antigen retrieval was performed in 0.01 mol/L citrate buffer (pH 6) in microwave at low setting, followed by incubation with antibodies against NF (MON3004; 1:50; Monosan), MBP (MAB387; 1:50; EMD Millipore), proteolipid protein (MCA839G; 1:3,000; AbD Serotec), phosphorylated neurofilament (SMI‐31R, 1:1000, Covance), or non‐phosphorylated neurofilament (SMI‐32R, 1:1000, Covance) and subsequently a horseradish peroxidase secondary antibody. Immunopositivity was detected with 3,3′‐Diaminobenzidine (DAB) as chromogen. Images were acquired on a Leica DM6000B microscope (Leica Microsystems).

Myelin and Neuronal Marker Visualization in Mouse Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were anesthetized and perfused intracardially with PBS and then 4% paraformaldehyde. Brains were dissected out, postfixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at 4°C for 1h and processed for vibratome section (50 μm). Pregnant mice at indicated gestational days were anesthetized and perfused using PBS. Embryos were dissected out and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at 4°C overnight and processed for frozen sections (16 μm).
To visualize PNS myelin, freshly extracted mouse sciatic nerves segments (10 mm) were teased on poly-L-lysine coated microscope slides, using fine needles to gently separate the nerve fibers. The preparations were then dried overnight at room temperature, washed in PBS 3×5 min and finally mounted in 50% glycerol/PBS. Immunostaining with antibodies against Olig2 (Millipore), PDFGRα (BD Bioscience, 558774), Tau (Sigma T6402), CC1 (Oncogene Research, OP80) and MBP (Covance, SMI-94R) or Neurofilament (Covance, SMI-31R), which labels a phosphorylated epitope in extensively phosphorylated neurofilament H and, to a lesser extent, with neurofilament M in axons, was performed on tissue or cell cultures using standard protocols along with corresponding fluorescent secondary antibodies (Jackson lab). Topro3 (Molecular Probe) was included to label nuclei. In situ hybridization was carried out as previously described (Yu et al., 2013 (link)).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Neuronal Markers

Postsurgically, the paraffin sections were routinely processed for histopathology. The following antibodies and dilutions were applied on 3‐µm tissue sections mounted on negatively charged glass slides: C1q (Dako, A0136, 1:200), C3c (Dako, A0062, 1:100), C3d (Dako, A0063, 1:400), synaptophysin (Syn; Dako, DAK‐SYNAP, 1:500), SMI31 (Covance, SMI31R, 1:25 000), SMI32 (Sternberger, 1:1000), vimentin (Dako, V9, 1:50), and Map2 (Millipore, AP20, 1:8000). Tissue was pretreated with either proteinase K (C1q, C3c, C3d) or pH6 (Syn, Map2, SMI32, SMI31). As a detection system, the EnVision FLEX+ kit (Dako) was utilized and diaminobenzidine as chromogen, executed either with an autostainer (Dako) or via cover plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific glass cover plates). The paraffin sections were counterstained with hematoxylin.

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.
