Usage
Fixation: a) Human tissue: Fix by placing fresh (5-8 h post mortem) tissue in a 1:1 solution of 4% paraformaldehyde/10% formaldehyde for 1 week at 4°C. Divide into tissue blocks (basal forebrain, septum and basal ganglia). Incubate the blocks in sucrose solutions of increasing concentration (10%, 20% and 30%). Prepare 50um sections and store in a cryoprotective solution at -15°C (3).b) Rat tissue: Brain and spinal cord marrow tissue (transcardial perfusion). Perform a transcardial perfusion initially with oxygen-saturated heparin solution (II) (100-200ml) and subsequently with paraformaldehyde/picric acid solution (III) (400ml). Carry out immediate tissue preparation and fix for a further 30 minutes in the same solution. Wash out the fixative with several fresh quantities of Buffer A. Prepare 50um sections.
