This service includes tissue preparation, sectioning, immunostaining, mounting, coverslipping and labeling the slides. As a result, you will receive up to 60 immunostained sections per brain or per tissue block ready for microscopic observations.
Procedure: Following cryoprotection, tissue will be rapidly frozen in isopentane pre-cooled to -70°C. The frozen tissue will then be cut on a cryostat and collected in our unique section cryoprotection solution (cf. Products, Cat. #NDT301). Subsequently, sections cut from various levels (or the levels of your choice) will be processed free-floating for immunostaining with 1 specific antibody according to the indirect immunofluorescence method¹ (cf. photo samples below).
Cofocal image of BrdU-immunoreactivity. 30 µm cryostat section was cut from the hippocampal dentate gyrus of a mouse that survived for 24 hrs after the injection with 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU). This section was processed free-floating according to the indirect fluorescence method.
Cofocal image of NeuN-immunoreactivity. The same section as shown above was processed free-floating for NeuN-immuoreactivity according to the indirect fluorescence method. Note NeuN-labeled granule cells and polymorphic neurons in the dentate gyrus.
Colocalization of BrdU- and NeuN- immunoreactivities. A digital overlay of the 2 images shown above. Note that the regions of colocalization, reflecting the additive effect of superimposed green and red pixels, appear in yellow.

Procedure: Following cryoprotection, tissue will be rapidly frozen in isopentane pre-cooled to -70°C. The frozen tissue will then be cut on a cryostat and mounted on gelatin-coated microscope slides (Slides available upon request). Subsequently, sections cut from various levels (or the levels of your choice) will be processed on slides for immunostaining with one specific antibody according to the indirect immunofluorescence method¹ (cf. photo samples below).
Substance P-immunofluorescence in the spinal cord. 10 µm cryostat section was cut transversely from the chicken spinal cord. This section was processed on slide according to the indirect fluorescence method (for details, cf. J. Comp. Neurol. 278:253-264, 1988). Note substance P containing fibers mainly in the dorsolateral funiculus, Lissauer’s tract and the dorsal horn.
Substance P-immunofluorescence in the spinal cord. A 10 µm cryostat section of the chicken spinal cord was processed as described above. Note dense substance P immunoreactivity in the dorsolateral funiculus and the dorsal horn.
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-immunofluo-rescence in the spinal cord. A 10 µm cryostat section of the chicken spinal cord was processed on slide according to the indirect fluorescence method. Note 2 large neurons containing vasoactive intestinal polypeptide in the nucleus of the dorsolateral funiculus (for details, cf. J. Comp. Neurol. 278:253-264, 1988).
