Immunohistochemistry for Identifying the Locus Coeruleus Region in Mouse Brain Sections
Source: Schmidt, K. et al., Localization of the Locus Coeruleus in the Mouse Brain. J. Vis. Exp. (2019) This protocol outlines the use of immunohistochemistry to identify locus coeruleus regions in mouse brain sections. By targeting dopamine β-hydroxylase with green fluorophore-labeled antibodies, norepinephrine-producing neurons are visualized as green fluorescence under a microscope.
