These procedures were carried as described previously [28 (link)]. Primary antibodies used were rat monoclonal mCherry (1:2000, Thermo Fisher, M11217); mouse monoclonal TH (1:2000, Sigma, T2928); secondary antibodies were Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse (1:1000, Invitrogen Molecular Probes, A11001), Alexa Fluor 594 goat anti-rat (1:1000, Invitrogen Molecular Probes, A11007). Slices were mounted on slides, embedded in Mowiol (with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole), cover-slipped, and analyzed using an upright fluorescent microscope (Nikon Eclipse 80i, Nikon).
