“…The brains were removed and prefixed in 4% PFA for 48 h and dehydrated in gradient ethanol, transparentized by xylene, embedded in paraffin, and cut coronally in the SVZ into pieces of 5-μm thickness, then adhered to the glass slices. Then immunofluorescence was performed as described previously [ 18 ]. Anti-Nestin antibody produced in rabbit (1: 100, Boster, Wuhan, China), anti-β-Tubulin III antibody produced in rabbit (1: 70, Sigma, Missouri, USA), anti-O4 antibody produced in mouse (1: 50, Sigma, Missouri, USA), and anti-GFAP antibody produced in mouse (1: 500, CST, Danvers, USA) were used as primary antibodies, and FITC- (1: 50) and Cy3- (1: 70) were used as secondary antibodies (Boster, Wuhan, China).…”
