Description
Dissociated Retina Immunohistochemistry

Procedure
before starting see criteria/guidelines for dissociated cell scoring

?Wash the tissue (freshly dissected or explant) in prewarmed PBS (6 ml in a 6 cm dish).

?Transfer to an eppendorf tube with approximately 200 microliters PBS and add 20 microliters of trypsin stock.

?Incubate at 37?C for 5 minutes and during this incubation prepare the chamber slides by placing 1X poly-D lysine diluted in 1X PBS on the slides. After a 5 minute incubation wash twice with 1X PBS. Do not let them dry out.

?For tissue dissociation, titurate 3-5 times with a p1000 tip and return to the 37?water bath for 2-4 minutes. Titurate again to generate a single cell suspension.

?Add 20 microliters of soybean trypsin inhibitor, mix by inversion and add 2 microliters of DNaseI. Incubate at 37?for 5 minutes, titurate and add explant culture medium up to 1.5 ml.

?Transfer cells to chambe slides (105 cells per chamber is ideal) and incubate at 37?for 15-30 minutes in the tissue culture incubator.

?Aspirate the medium and immediately fix in 4% paraformaldehyde for 5 minutes.

?Wash twice in 1X PBS and incubate in 3% hydrogen peroxide in PBS for 5 minutes.

?Wash twice in PBS and block for 5-10 minutes.

?Add primary antibody (see Dyer and Cepko for dilutions) and incubate for 30 minutes.

?Wash 3 times in PBS and add secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:500.

?Incubate for 30 minutes, wash 3 times in PBS and add a few drops of ABC reagent.

?Wash 3 times in PBS, 1 time in TNB block (provided with tyramide kit) and perform tyramide amplification. For each slide mix 150 microliters of amplification diluent with 1 microliter of tyramide compound (NEN) or dilute the tyramide 1:50,000 if synthesized in house (see T.4).

?Incubate in tyramide for 10 minutes and stop by washing in PBS.

?Stain with DAPI for 5 minutes in PBS, wash 2 times in PBS and mount with gelvatol.
