Immunostaining of NUP62 and pTDP43 in Cortical Tissue

Staining was performed as previously described (Cherry et al., 2016 (link)). Briefly, tissue blocks of cortical samples were taken from Broadman area 8/9 for all cases. Tissues were embedded in paraffin and cut into 20-µm-thick sections. For chromogenic staining, sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with anti-NUP62 antibody. Sections were treated with biotinylated secondary antibodies and labeled with a 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazol HRP substrate kit (Vector Laboratories). Sections were counterstained with Gill’s hematoxylin (Vector Laboratories, #H-3401). For multiplex immunofluorescent images, sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with anti-NUP62 (BD Transduction Laboratories, #610497) and or anti-pTDP43 (Cosmo Bio, #NC0877946) antibodies. Fluorescent labeling was carried out using the PerkinElmer Opal 7-Color Automation IHC kit (#NEL801001KT), per manufacturer’s instructions. Sections were counterstained with DAPI.
