[Histonet] SMI neurofilaments in mouse

[L. Anderson]

Dear All,

 

I am looking at carrying out some SMI-32 staining in mouse brains,
specifically auditory thalamus and cortex.  I know SMI-32 has been used
successfully in these areas in a number of species including cats and
ferrets, but I have received mixed reports as to its usefulness in rodents.
Can anyone offer any advice on the efficacy of SMI staining in mice, and
suitable protocols?

 

Many regards, Lucy
