I have tissue from mice that were injected with EDU and then BRDU, sectioned at 40um. I am using the Click-iT EDU kit and trying to double label with BRDU (and ideally triple label for Parvalbumin and other neuronal markers in the future). I've tried two methods of labeling with sections free floating:
Any advice? Thanks!
Details on methods
Method 1:
Wash 2X PBS
Permeablize 3XPBS-Triton
EDU Click-iT reaction for 30 min (in dark)
DNA denature: HCL2N for 30 min
Wash 2XPBS
Wash1X PBS-Triton
Block: PBS-Triton + Donkey Serum for 1 hour
Primary anti-BRDU overnight in block
Wash 3XPBS-Triton
Incubate secondary in PBS-Triton for 90min (in dark)
Wash 3xPBS
Mount
Method 2:
Wash 2X PBS
Wash 1X PBS-Triton
DNA denature: HCL2N for 30 min
Wash 2XPBS
Wash 1X PBS-Triton
Block: PBS-Triton + Donkey Serum for 1 hour
Primary antoi-BRDU overnight in block
Wash 3XPBS-Triton
Incubate secondary in PBS-Triton for 90min (in dark)
EDU Click-iT reaction for 30 min (in dark)
