      Abstract

      Protocol for immunofluorescence on rat brain cryosections

      Steps

      1. Sections selection

      1.

      Collect the cryosections needed for a caudo-rostral representation of each brain region (every fifth or sixth section depending on the section's thickness, brain region, and animal species) into a 24-well-plate (3-4 sections per well)

      1.1.

      Wash in PB1X 3 times x 5 min (500 ul) at RT

      2. Blocking

      2.

      Incubate with blocking solution (500 µ$$l/well) : PB1X + 10%NDS (serum from the same species as the host of the secondary antibody) + 0.3% TritonX-100, at RT

      3. Primary antibody incubation

      3.

      Remove the blocking solution and incubate sections with PB1X+ 5%NdS+0.3% TritonX-100+ primary Ab (500 µ$$l/well) for 24/72 h, depending on the Ab, at +4°C

      3.1.

      Wash in PB1X 3 times x 5 min (500 ul) at RT

      4. Secondary antibody incubation

      4.

      Incubate sections with adequate secondary fluorescent Ab diluted in PB1X+ 0.3% TritonX-100, at RT

      4.1.

      Wash in PB1X 2 times x 5 min (500 ul) at RT

      5.

      Incubate with DAPI diluted in PB1X, to stain nuclei

      5.1.

      Wash in PB1X 2 times x 5 min (500 ul) at RT

      5. Section Mounting

      6.

      Mount sections on slides and let it dry

      6. Mount Coverslips

      7.

      Coverslip slides with aqueous mounting medium, remove bubbles if any, and let dry
