Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Expansion Microscopy (ExM) is a sample preparation and imaging method which employs a dense interconnected web of swellable polymer within a biological specimen. A significantly higher effective resolution can be achieved with a standard microscope setup. For additional experimental details, please refer to the Remarks section.

Electron microscopy (EM) is a microscopy technique that detects the scatter of electrons through thin tissue sections. In Immuno-EM the antigen is usually revealed by colloidal gold conjugated secondary antibodies linking electron dense structures to antigen-bound primary antibodies.

Background
Munc 13s are homologues of the C. elegans unc-13 gene product. Three brain specific isoforms, Munc 13-1, -13-2, and -13-3 are expressed in rat where they localize to presynaptic terminals. All three isoforms share multiple regulatory domains that may mediate phorbol ester and diacylglycerol binding.
Munc13-1 shows the broadest expression pattern and is found in cortex, cerebellum, olfactory bulb and hippocampus. Munc 13-2 is mainly expressed in cortex and hippocampus whereas Munc 13-3 exhibits highest expression levels in cerebellum and pons. Munc13-1 interacts directly with a putative coiled coil domain in the N-terminal part of syntaxin and is involved in synaptic vesicle priming. For Munc13-2 an additional ubiquitously expressed N-terminal splice variant (ubMunc 13-2) has been described.
Munc 13-3 has been shown to be involved in the regulation of cerebellar synaptic transmission and motor learning.
