Figure 1. IBA1 and Parvalbumin staining in rat brain using HB9317 Goat Anti-Rabbit H&L (AF488) and HB7393 Goat Anti-Mouse H&L (Janelia Fluor® 646)

Rat brain stained for microglia (HB7847) and parvalbumin expressing neurons (HB6457) using HB9317 goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (AF488) and HB7393 goat anti-mouse H&L (Janelia Fluor® 646) 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 HB7847 (1:1,000 dilution) and HB6457 (1:1,000 dilution, 1µg/ml). This was followed by a two-hour incubation with HB9317 goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (AF488) and HB7393 goat anti-mouse H&L (Janelia Fluor® 646) 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 as a z-stack (0.5µm spacing) using a Leica DMI6000B fluorescence microscope with a 40x objective using DAP (12ms exposure), L5 (35ms exposure) and Y5 (40ms 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).

Neurons in the rat hippocampus visualised using HB6498 (rabbit polyclonal anti-NeuN) and HB9317 goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (AF488) secondary antibody. 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 HB6498 (1:2,000 dilution). This was followed by a two-hour incubation with HB9317 goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (AF488) secondary antibody 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 as a z-stack (4.3µm spacing) using a Leica DMI6000B fluorescence microscope with a 10x objective using DAP (35ms exposure) and L5 (100ms 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).
