Background
The Aquaporin-4 gene encodes a member of the aquaporin family of intrinsic membrane proteins that function as water-selectivechannels in the plasma membranes of many cells. The encoded protein is the predominant aquaporin found in brain. Twoalternatively spliced tra

Mice were perfused with 0.9% saline and subsequently decapitated. The cerebrum was then dissected out of the cranium and the head was put in ~10mL of 4% PFA in 0.1M phosphate buffer overnight. The following morning the trigeminal ganglia were dissected and placed in 30% sucrose (sucrose dissolved in 0.1M phosphate buffer) for at least 48hr. The tissue was then blocked in OCT, frozen, cut at 10 microns (on a cryostat) and mounted on glass slides.
Slides were washed three times with 1X PBS (diluted from a 10X stock (recipe available on thelabrat.com)) and blocked for 1hr in 1X PBS containing 0.2% triton X-100 and 10% goat serum. After the block, tissue was incubated overnight at room temperature in 1X PBS containing 0.2% triton X-100, 2% goat serum, 20mg/mL bovine serum albumin and the primary antibody diluted to a final concentration of 1:5000. The following morning the slides were washed twice with 1X PBS containing 0.2% tween-20 and once with 1X PBS. The slides were then incubated for 45 min (room temperature) in 1X PBS containing 0.2% triton X-100, 2% goat serum, 20mg/mL bovine serum albumin and 488-conjugated goat-anti rabbit secondary (ThermoFisher, 1:200).
After the 45 min incubation period, slides were washed with washed twice with 1X PBS containing 0.2% tween 20 and once with 1X PBS. The slides were then coverslipped and mounted using vectashield mounting medium.
