Cell surface biotinylation of mouse brain slices was conducted as published [62 (link)]. After euthanization, mouse brains were freshly isolated and sliced into 1 mm coronal sections. Brain slices were incubated in 1 mg/ml sulfo-NHS-SS-biotin (ThermoFisher) in pre-chilled oxygenated aCSF on ice for 30 min and then washed twice with 50 mM glycine and three times with 1 mg/ml BSA in pre-chilled oxygenated aCSF. Hippocampus was dissected from slices, extracted and the biotinylated proteins purified using NeutrAvidin beads (ThermoFisher) and processed for Western blot with following antibodies: rabbit anti CLC-3 (Rabbit, 1:1000, Alomone, ACL-001), Rabbit anti-Na-K ATPase (1:10,000, Abcam, ab76020). Blots were developed with goat anti-mouse IRDye 680RD and goat anti-rabbit IRDye 800CW (1:5000, LI-COR) and Odyssey CLx imager (LI-COR) and quantitated using Image Studio (LI-COR).
