After Tissue preparation deep anesthesia with sodium pentobarbital (60 mg/kg), Ntg, mtauKO, 3 xTg - AD and 3 xTg - AD/mtauKO mice were perfused trans-cardially M 0.1 with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4. Half of the brain was fixed for 48 h in 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M phos- phate buffer saline, 7.4 pH and cryoprotected in 30% sucrose for immu-nohistochemical analysis,whereas the other half was frozen in dry ice for biochemical analysis. Thick (40 µm) free-floating sections were obtained using a freezing microtome (Leica SM 2010 R), and serially col-lected (each series contained sections that represented 1 /7 th of the total brain) in cold PBS and 0.02 % sodium azide.
Protein extracts were prepared by homogenizing whole brain hemi-sphere samples in T-per (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL) extrac-tion buffer (150 mg/ml), complemented with a protease inhibitor (Complete Mini Protease Inhibitor Tablets, Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Germany), and phosphatase inhibitor (5 mmol/L, Sigma - Aldrich, St.Louis, MO), followed by centrifugation at 100,000 G for 1 H × .Protein concentration in the supernatant was determined using the Bradford assay.
