Aggregated aSyn Dot Blot assay
Normalize protein samples to equal concentrations between 100 ng -1000 undetermined in PBS.
Carefully spot 1.5 µL each sample onto dry nitrocellulose (0.45 µm pores) membrane.
Allow moisture to dry for a minute or two.
Block membrane in 5% skim milk in TBST.
Wash membrane 1X in TBST.
Apply anti-aggregated aSyn antibody in 5% skim milk in TBST (1:1000 for Abcam fibril.aggregate specific aSyn antibody: MJFR 14-6-4-2).
Incubate at Room temperature for 1-2 hours, or Overnight at 4 °C .
1h
Wash 3x with TBST.
Wash with TBST (1/3).
Wash with TBST (2/3).
Wash with TBST (3/3).
Incubate with anti-rabbit IgG (or appropriate secondary)at 1:1000 for 1-2 hours in TBST.
Wash 3x with TBST.
Wash with TBST (1/3).
Wash with TBST (2/3).
Wash with TBST (3/3).
Develop with Biorad Chemiluminescent substrate, or similar.

1h 10m
Note
Certainly can be modified for either DAB or Fluorescent staining, I have DAB protocol too
Wash 50um brain sections 1x in PBS.
Treat with Protinase K (NEB, 1:4000, stock at 20 mg/mL ) for 00:10:00 at Room temperature .
10m
Wash 2x with IHC buffer (3% NGS, 0.3% TX100, in PBS).
Wash with IHC buffer (3% NGS, 0.3% TX100, in PBS) (1/2).
Wash with IHC buffer (3% NGS, 0.3% TX100, in PBS) (2/2).

1h
Wash 2x with IHC buffer.
Wash with IHC buffer (1/2).

Incubate Overnight at 4 °C with primary antibody 1:250 – 1:1000 (anti-synuclein BD Biosci 610787).
Wash 3x with PBS.
Wash with PBS (1/3).
Wash with PBS (2/3).
Wash with PBS (3/3).
Incubate with desired secondary (anti-Mouse IgG AF488 is my choice at 1:1000).
Wash 3x with PBS.
Wash with PBS (1/3).
