“…For single staining of c-Fos protein or IL-1R1, free-floating sections were pretreated with 0.3% H2O2 in PBS for 30 min, followed by 1% bovine serum albumin in PBS for 2 h, and then incubated in goat anti-IL-1R1 antibody (AF771; 1:1000; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) or rabbit anti-c-Fos antibody (PC38 (Ab-5); 1:10,000; Millipore) in 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS (PBST) at 4°C for 60 h, washed three times with 0.03% PBST, and processed using a Vectastain ABC kit (Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA). For dual-or triple-labeling immunofluorescence, free-floating sections were treated with rat anti-CD31 antibody (MCA2388GA; 1:1000; Serotec, Düsseldorf, Germany) as a marker for endothelial cells (Williams et al, 1996) or rat anti-CD206 antibody (MCA2235; 1:1000; Serotec) as a marker for perivascular macrophages (Galea et al, 2005), together with the antibodies against GFP (ab13970, made in chicken; 1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or IL-1R1 and Cox-2 (sc-1747-R, made in rabbit; 1:1000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA). Bound primary antibody was then detected with Alexa Fluor Dyes-conjugated secondary antibodies (405 donkey anti-rat IgG, 488 donkey anti-goat IgG, and 555 donkey anti-rabbit IgG; 1:1000; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA).…”
