Immunofluorescence protocol for localizing protein targets in brain tissue from diverse model and non-model mammals

STAR Protocols, 2023
Summary: Previous immunostaining protocols are highly specific for model organisms and often not suitable for diverse specimens that are non-perfused and over-fixed (i.e., tissues sitting in fixatives for months/year).
