This protocol describes a multicolor immunofluorescence technique for evaluating the rat model of allergic rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic, non-infectious inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa, primarily mediated by specific immunoglobulin E (IgE), affecting approximately 10%-20% of the world's population. While immunofluorescence (IF) staining has long been a standard technique for detecting disease-specific protein expression, conventional IF techniques are limited in their ability to detect the expression levels of three or more proteins in the same sample. Consequently, multicolor IF techniques have been developed in recent years, which allow the simultaneous labeling of multiple targets in cells or tissues.
This protocol provides a comprehensive overview of the process for establishing a rat model of AR, obtaining nasal mucosal samples, and the technical procedures for multicolor immunofluorescence. All rats in the AR group exhibited typical symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, and an itchy nose, with behavioral observations scoring ≥5 points. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining revealed increased inflammatory cell counts and disrupted nasal mucosal integrity in the AR group. Multicolor immunofluorescence (mIF) demonstrated increased expression of RORγt and TICAM-1, while Foxp3 expression decreased in the nasal mucosa tissue of AR rats.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic, non-infectious inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa primarily mediated by specific immunoglobulin E (IgE)1,2. It is characterized by symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, nasal congestion, and nasal itching. With industrialization and urbanization, the prevalence of AR is gradually increasing, affecting approximately 10%-20% of the world's population1. The immunofluorescence (IF) technique is a fluorescent staining method that utilizes an antibody-antigen binding reaction. It can be employed to detect and quantify the distribution and expr....
The experimental protocol and procedures have received approval from the Administrative and Animal Research Committee of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Record number: 2022DL-010). Eight-week-old male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, weighing 180-200 g, were commercially obtained (see Table of Materials) and housed under a natural light/dark cycle with controlled temperature (23 ± 2 °C) and relative humidity (55% ± 10%). Twelve rats were randomly divided into two groups: the control group and the AR group. All rats were acclimated to these conditions and provided with free access to food and water for one week before the tr....
Six SD rats were successfully induced into the AR model through OVA intraperitoneal injection and nasal challenge. AR was induced in all rats in the AR group, accounting for 100% of the group. All rats in the AR group exhibited typical symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, and an itchy nose. All behavioral observations scored ≥5 points (Table 2).
H&E staining results on the 21st day of modeling revealed that in the control rats, the nasal mucosa's e.......
Allergic Rhinitis (AR) is a non-infectious inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa resulting from a combination of environmental and genetic factors. It has become a global health concern, impacting work efficiency, diminishing the quality of life, impairing sleep, cognitive function, and causing irritability and fatigue. AR affects 10%-20% of the world's population¹ and carries substantial economic costs, causing annual losses of up to 30-50 billion euros in EU countries18. Moreover, se.......
