Immunocytochemical identification of peripheral sensory nerve fiber subtypes (and detection of protein expression therein) are key to the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying peripheral sensation. Here we describe methods for preparation of peripheral/visceral tissue samples, such as skin and limb bones, for specific immunostaining of peripheral sensory nerve fibers.

To maximize the potential benefits of pulmonary gene therapy, widespread and uniform topical delivery of a viral vector across the surface epithelium is an important goal. Here, we demonstrate an aerosolization technique using a microsprayer positioned intratracheally to deliver a viral vector to newborn pig airways.
