Preparation
Preparation
Make up Amount1 L of fresh Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) from 10x stock solution.

Make up PBS-T: 0.2–0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS (stir Amount100-250 mg Triton in Amount50 mL of PBS).

Primary reactions
Primary reactions
Place each series in a glass vial and rinse mouse brain sections with PBS 3 times before starting primary reactions.
Wash
Add Amount1 mL of PBS-T with 2% Normal Donkey Serum (Amount20 µL ) to each series and swirl briefly.

Pipetting
Optional blocking step: leave slices in PBS-T and 2% Normal Donkey Serum at TemperatureRoom temperature for 45–60 min.

Optional
Add primary antibody to each series.
Pipetting
Shake gently for Duration48:00:00 at Temperature4 °C (sections should barely revolve around the vial).
