DARTFISH on BA8 Sections

  • Picked up 9 sections from Yun today: "1/19/16 Matt & Yun Vectabonded coverslips BA8 patient 1568"
    • He said many of the sections had "shattering" near the superficial layers of the thicker end (The curved part of 'P')
    • The best sections are in the back of the box and the worst are in the front
      • The very worst had tissue wiped off one side of coverslip and then better section stuck to the other side

Protocol

Day 1

  1. Prepare 2 plastic culture dish with 12x17mm hole, tweezers, large plastic dish, and 50C hot plate
    • EtOH and UV sterilize
  2. Prepare fresh 40ml 4% PFA at RT
    • 10ml 16% PFA from ampule + 4ml 10X PBS + 26ml nuclease-free H2O?
  3. Take out 2 best BA8 sections (2 furthest back) from -80C and dry on 50C hot plate for 3min
  4. Submerge coverslip in 5ml 4% PFA in 6 well culture plate for 15min at 37C
  5. Wash twice with cold 1X SSPE by submerging
  6. Aspirate any liquid and attach glass to bottom of culture dish with double-sided adhesive
  7. Add 0.25% TX-100 in 2XSSPE and incubate 10min at RT
  8. Wash with cold nf-H2O three times and check for degradation
    • Slightly more stripes in gray matter
  9. Add 0.01% Pepsin in 0.1N HCl and incubate for 90sec at 37C
    • 2ul 1%Pepsin + 10ul 2N HCl + 188ul H2O
  10. Wash with nf-1X PBS three times and check for degradation
  11. Prepare Reverse Transcription Mix on ice and add
