BrdU/EdU double-labeling was carried out according to Houlihan et al. (37 (link)). Briefly, pregnant females were injected intraperitoneally with BrdU, (Millipore-Sigma) (50 mg/kg body weight) and 1.5 hours later with the same dose of 5-Ethynyl-2’- deoxyuridine (EdU, Millipore-Sigma) and sacrificed after 0.5 hours. For EdU single-labeling, pregnant mice were injected intraperitoneally with EdU (50 mg/kg body weight) at E14.5 and sacrificed after 0.5 hours, 24 hours, or 4 days. The obtained mouse brain slices were stained for Edu immunohistochemistry using the Click-iT Edu kit (C10338,Thermo Fisher Scientific).
