Preparation
Make up 1 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 100-250 mg Triton in 50 mL of PBS).

Primary reactions
Place each series in a glass vial and rinse mouse brain sections with PBS 3 times before starting primary reactions.
Add 1 mL of PBS-T with 2% Normal Donkey Serum (20 µL ) to each series and swirl briefly.

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

Add primary antibody to each series.
Shake gently for 48:00:00 at 4 °C (sections should barely revolve around the vial).

Secondary reactions
1d 1h 30m
Rinse sections with PBS 3 times before starting secondary reactions.
Add 1 mL of PBS-T with 2% Normal Donkey Serum (20 µL ) to each series and swirl briefly.

Add secondary antibody to each series.
Shake gently for 01:30:00 at Room temperature , protected from light (sections should barely revolve around the vial).
1h 30m
Rinse sections with PBS 3 times before mounting.
Mount sections serially on slides with Prolong Diamond Anti-fade mounting media; protect slides from light and keep at 4 °C after 24:00:00 drying at Room temperature .
