Labeling of Biocytin-Filled Interneurons in Rat Hippocampal Slices for Visualization
Source: Economides, G., et al. Biocytin Recovery and 3D Reconstructions of Filled Hippocampal CA2 Interneurons. J. Vis. Exp. (2018) This video demonstrates the procedure for staining fixed rat brain slices containing biocytin-filled interneurons. The protocol includes incubation with avidin-biotin complex (ABC), staining with HRP and chromogenic substrate, preserving structures with osmium tetroxide, and embedding the tissue in resin for imaging.
