Detection of seeded pathology using tyramide amplification
40m
Mount the fixed floating 40-micron sections onto gelatin-coated slides and dry at TemperatureRoom temperature DurationOvernight .

20m
Overnight
Rehydrate the slides in TBST (refer materials section) and digest with proteinase K (PK, Amount20 undetermined ) diluted in TBST for Duration00:20:00 at Temperature37 °C .
20m
Digestion
Fix the slides in 4% paraformaldehyde for Duration00:20:00 , rinse 3 times in TBST, and incubate with 3% hydrogen peroxide for Duration00:30:00 to quench endogenous peroxidases.

50m
Incubation
Place the slides in blocking buffer (TBST, 3% bovine serum albumin, 2% goat serum) for Duration01:00:00 and then incubate it DurationOvernight at Temperature4 °C in blocking buffer containing anti-PSER129 antibody EP1536Y (Abcam) diluted 1:50,000.

2h
Incubation
Overnight
Next day, wash the slides 3 times in TBST and incubate with biotinylated anti-rabbit antibody (Vector Labs) diluted 1:400 in blocking buffer for Duration01:00:00 .

1h
Incubation
Wash
Wash the slides 3 times in TBST and incubate with avidin-biotin complex (ABC) reagent (Vector labs) diluted in blocking buffer for Duration01:00:00 .

1h
Incubation
Wash
Wash the slides twice with borate buffer Concentration0.1 Mass Percent Sodium tetraborate Ph8.5 ) and incubate in borate buffer containing 0.003% hydrogen peroxide and Concentration5 micromolar (µM) biotinyl tyramide (Sigma-Aldrich) for Duration00:30:00 .

30m
Incubation
Wash
Wash the slides 3 times in TBST and incubate with ABC reagent for Duration01:00:00 .

1h
Incubation
Wash
Heating the slides for Duration00:30:00 at Temperature80 °C in Concentration20 millimolar (mM) citrate buffer Ph6.0 before ABC reagent can increase detection sensitivity.

30m
Wash the slides in TBST and develop using nickel-enhanced 3,3'-Diaminobenzidine DAB as previously described (refer references section).
Wash
Counterstain the slides with methylgreen (Sigma), dehydrate with graded alcohols, clear with xylenes, and cover the slides using cover slipps with cytoseal 60 (Fisher Scientific).
Perform the Brightfield microscopy using Nikon A1 laser scanning microscope.
Imaging
Perform the density analysis including binary masks and region of interest (ROI) analyses using Elements software (Nikon).
