DAPI Staining Mouse Brain Sections

Description

This protocol details the steps for staining 4% PFA fixed mouse brain tissue sections with DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole), a fluorescent stain that can be used to label anatomic regions of interest in a mouse brain, allowing for imaging with a fluorescent microscope.
