Figure 1. Parvalbumin and Neurofilament L and staining in rat CA1 using HB8529 Goat Anti-Mouse H&L (AF488) and HB8283 Goat Anti-Rabbit H&L (Janelia Fluor® 646)

Rat hippocampus CA1 stained for Neurofilament L (NfL, HB7266) and parvalbumin (PV, HB6457) using HB8529 goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (AF488) preadsorbed and HB8283 goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (Janelia Fluor® 646) preadsorbed secondary antibodies. Method: Rat brains were dissected and fixed overnight in 4% PFA before then being incubated in 30% sucrose (in PBS) until sunk (approx. 48hrs). A freezing microtome was used to cut 40µm horizontal slices before sections were incubated in 1% NaBH4 for 15 minutes. Sections were blocked in 0.05M glycine, 2% BSA and 3% goat serum before incubation overnight in HB7266 (1:4,000 dilution, 0.25µg/ml) and HB6457 (1:4,000 dilution, 0.25µg/ml). This was followed by a two-hour incubation with HB8529 goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (AF488) preadsorbed and HB8283 goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (Janelia Fluor® 646) preadsorbed secondary antibodies at a 1:300 dilution. DAPI (HB0747) was used at 1µg/ml to visualise cell nuclei. For more detail please see our IHC(IF) protocol. The image was captured using a Leica DMI6000B fluorescence microscope with a 40x objective using DAP (8ms exposure), L5 (40ms exposure) and Y5 (157ms exposure) filters. Following capture deconvolution was carried out using Huygens Professional before the stack was flattened using a maximum Z projection in ImageJ (Schindelin et al., 2012. Nat Methods, 9(7), 676–682).
