==Materials required==
1 rat
Total amount of each reagent required for dilution curves:
at least 70 ul to make 7000 ul of 1:100
anti-pCREB from rabbit
* http://www.cellsignal.com/products/9191.html
* $274 per 100uL
anti-c-Fos from goat
* Santa Cruz
anti-rabbit 488 secondary
* http://www.cellsignal.com/products/4412.html
* $138 per 250 uL
anti-goat Alexa 555 secondary
* http://products.invitrogen.com/ivgn/product/A21432?ICID=search-a21432
* $181 per 500 uL
==Procedure==
'''Tissue:'''
* 1 rat inject with 12ml/kg LiCl perfuse at 1h post injection
* Perfuse and postfix for 24h
* 30% sucrose for 48 h
* Cut forebrain to run dilution curve => total of 25 wells
'''Immuno procedure:'''
* 30 min Triton 0.2%
* O/N incubation at room temperature with anti-pCREB and anti-c-Fos
* 90 min Secondary incubation with anti-rabbit Alexa 488 and anti-goat Alexa 555
* mount in VectaShield
'''pCREB dilutions''' (n=5): 0, 1:500, 1:200, 1:100. 1:100 boiled
'''anti-rabbit 488 Secondary dilutions''' (n=5) : 0,1:500, 1:200, 1:100, boiled 1:100
