Abstract

This protocol describes the steps to obtain a great staining of primary neurons.

Steps

Cells Fixation

1.

Wash cells with PBS1X/HBSS

2.

Fix cells with paraformaldehyde (PFA) 4% for 0h 30m 0s at room temperature

3.

Wash cells with PBS1X for 0h 5m 0s for three times at room temperature

Cells permeabilization and saturation

4.

Permeabilize cells with 0.3% Triton X-100 (in PBS1X) for 0h 5m 0s at room temperature

5.

Wash cells with PBS1X for 0h 5m 0s for three times at room temperature

6.

Saturate cells in blocking solution for at least 0h 30m 0s

7.

Wash cells with PBS1X for 0h 5m 0s for three times at room temperature

Incubation with primary antibody

8.

Incubate with primary antibody in working solution for 1h 30m 0s at room temperature

9.

Wash cells in working solution for 0h 5m 0s for three times at room temperature

Incubation with secondary antibody

10.

Incubate with secondary antibody in working solution for 1h 0m 0s at room temperature in the dark

11.

Wash cells in working solution for 0h 5m 0s for three times at room temperature

12.

Wash cells in PBS1X for 0h 1m 0s for three times at room temperature

Mounting

13.

Rinse coverslips in dH2O

14.

Mount the coverslips on slides with mounting medium
