Soluble and insoluble A-SYN fractionation
By savannah onSoluble/insoluble alpha-synuclein fractionation is a technique used to separate different forms of the alpha-synuclein protein based on their solubility properties.
Tissue handling for mice, marmoset, and rhesus macaques injected with AAV
By savannah onThis protocol outlines all procedures for handling of tissue of animal subjects treated with AAV.
Immunohistochemistry of AAV-treated tissues
By savannah onThis protocol outlines procedures to perform immunohistochemistry on tissue that had been treated with AAV.
AAV viral DNA and whole RNA recovery for AAV pool experiments in rhesus macaque
By savannah onThis protocol outlines procedures to extract viral DNA and whole RNA from rhesus macaque tissue that had been treated with AAV in vivo.
Mouse brain tissue collection and analysis
By savannah onThis protocol describes the dissection and collection of coronal sections of the striatum and midbrain from a mouse brain.
Mouse behavior – Open Field and T-Maze
By savannah onThis protocol describes two behavioral tasks for mice. The first is the Open Field Test, which is used to asses motor behavior, and the second is the T-Maze, which is used to assess spatial learning.
Live imaging of primary mouse neuron cultures
By savannah onThis protocol describes live imaging of primary neuron cultures. Included are methods for preparing hippocampal or dopamine neuronal cultures from neonatal mouse brain tissue. The imaging technique was used in Jain et al., 2023 to compare vesicular release in neurons between various transgenic knockout mouse lines.
Immunostaining mouse brain tissue or neuronal cultures
By savannah onThis protocol describes immunohistochemical and immunocytochemical methods to analyze protein expression in mouse brain. In the protocol, we describe the fixation of tissue or cultured neurons, the immunostaining procedure, and collecting images for analysis.
Fast Scan Cyclic Voltammetry (FSCV) in mouse brain slices
By savannah onThis protocol describes the method of Fast Scan Cyclic Voltammetry (FSCV) for the application of measuring dopamine transients in mouse brain slices. Within the protocol are sections describing the manufacture of microelectrodes, preparation of acute brain slices, fiber calibration, and measuring stimulated dopamine release.
Protocols for “Characterizing the diversity of enteric neurons using Dopamine Transporter (DAT)-Cre reporter mice”
By savannah onThis is a collection of protocols associated to the manuscript "Characterizing the diversity of enteric neurons using Dopamine Transporter (DAT)-Cre reporter mice."
Transfection and protein over-expression
By savannah onThis protocol provides the details for how to transfect and harvest 3X-FLAG-SHIP164Δ901-1099.
siRNA-mediated knockdown of TFE3
By savannah onThis protocol details siRNA-mediated knockdown of TFE3.
RNA isolation and qRT-PCR
By savannah onThis protocol describes the RNA isolation from cultured cells and quantitative RT PCR.
Western blot – alpha-synuclein
By savannah onThis protocol describes how to detect alpha-synuclein in protein derived from STC-1 cells by western blot using DAB/peroxidase or ECL to visualize the bands.
FM1-43 endocytic uptake assay in HIPSC derived neurons
By savannah onWhen the cells undergo another stimulation (through KCL or electrical), the FM1-43 dye containing vesicles will be released through exocytosis, thus, resulting in a decrease in the FM1-43 fluorescence intensity.
Nuclei isolation and sorting from frozen human temporal cortex
By savannah onThis protocol is about nuclei isolation and sorting from frozen human temporal cortex.
