Representative hippocampal labeling of the synaptic vesicle protein synaptotagmin-1 in a control (A) and (B) epilepsy [kainic acid rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy (Levesque and Avoli, 2013)]. Both images were obtained using the polyclonal rabbit anti-Syt1 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA; Cat#ab131551); dilution 1:100 (overnight, 4°C). The secondary antibody was donkey anti-Rabbit Alexa Fluor488-conjugated (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Oregon, United States; Cat#A-21206); dilution 1:500 (45 min, RT). DAPI was used to counterstain (blue). The images were obtained with a scanning laser microscope (Leica TCS SP5 with AOBS, Leica Microsystems IR GmbH, Germany) with a 20 × magnification and similar exposure time. Note a decrease in synaptotagmin-1 labeling in the epileptic rat (3 months after kainic acid administration), compared to the control. Images were obtained at GIGA-CRC in vivo imaging and the GIGA-Imaging platform, ULiège (Belgium).
