Immunohistochemistry
Miguel Chuapoco
Abstract
Outlines procedures to perform immunohistochemistry on tissue that had been treated with AAV.
Steps
Tissue slicing via vibratome (mice and rhesus macaque)
All tissue should be stored in PBS prior to slicing and further processing. Remove tissue and prepare for mounting. For mouse brain, we separate each half hemisphere. Rhesus macaque brain was separated into 4 mm thick coronal blocks. For all other tissue (e.g. liver), remove a 4-5 mm piece of tissue and cut one edge to make a flat surface.
Use super glue to mount the tissue on the provided mounting disk and fill reservoir with 1X PBS.

Slice tissue to 50-100 um slice and collect in 24- (mouse) or 6- (rhesus macaque) well plates filled with 1X PBS.
Tissue can also be cut to 300 um to be used for index refraction matching (e.g. to perform morphological reconstructions).
Tissue slicing via cryostat (marmoset and rhesus macaque)
All tissue should be stored in PBS prior to slicing and further processing. Remove tissue and incubate in 30% sucrose at 4°C
on a shaker. For marmoset tissue, incubate overnight. For rhesus macaque tissue, incubate for 72 hours, changing the 30% sucrose solution after 48 hours.
Embed tissue in OCT using 100% isopropanol (or similar) chilled with dry ice. Orient tissue to ensure coronal slices.

Incubate slices in secondary antibody overnight on a shaker at room temperature. Dilute antibody in 1X PBS supplemented with 0.1% Triton X-100 and 10% normal donkey serum.
Protect from light to avoid photobleaching.
