Detection of seeded pathology using tyramide amplification
40m
Mount the fixed floating 40-micron sections onto gelatin-coated slides and dry at Room temperature Overnight .
20m
Rehydrate the slides in TBST (refer materials section) and digest with proteinase K (PK, 20 µL ) diluted in TBST for 00:20:00 at 37 °C .
20m
Fix the slides in 4% paraformaldehyde for 00:20:00 , rinse 3 times in TBST, and incubate with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 00:30:00 to quench endogenous peroxidases.
50m
Place the slides in blocking buffer (TBST, 3% bovine serum albumin, 2% goat serum) for 01:00:00 and then incubate it Overnight at 4 °C in blocking buffer containing anti-PSER129 antibody EP1536Y (Abcam) diluted 1:50,000.
2h
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 01:00:00 .
1h
Wash the slides 3 times in TBST and incubate with avidin-biotin complex (ABC) reagent (Vector labs) diluted in blocking buffer for 01:00:00 .
1h
Wash the slides twice with borate buffer 0.1 Mass Percent Sodium tetraborate 8.5 ) and incubate in borate buffer containing 0.003% hydrogen peroxide and 5 micromolar (µM) biotinyl tyramide (Sigma-Aldrich) for 00:30:00 .
30m
Wash the slides 3 times in TBST and incubate with ABC reagent for 01:00:00 .
1h
Heating the slides for 00:30:00 at 80 °C in 20 millimolar (mM) citrate buffer 6.0 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).
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.
Perform the density analysis including binary masks and region of interest (ROI) analyses using Elements software (Nikon).
