quantifying synapses: an immunocytochemistry-based assay to quantify synapse number

En av de viktigaste målen inom neurovetenskap är att förstå de molekylära signaler som instruerar tidiga stadier av synaps bildas. Som sådant har det blivit nödvändigt att utveckla objektiva metoder för att kvantifiera förändringar i synaptisk anslutning. Från prov fixering, detta protokoll beskriver hur att kvantifiera synaps antal både i dissocierade neuronala kultur och i hjärnan sektioner med hjälp av immuncytokemi. Använda fack-specifika antikroppar, etikett vi presynaptiska terminaler samt platser av postsynaptiska specialisering. Vi definierar synapser som punkter av colocalization mellan de signaler som genereras av dessa markörer. Antalet sådana colocalizations är kvantifieras med hjälp av en plug in Puncta Analyzer (skriven av Bary Wark, på begäran, c.eroglu @ cellbio.duke.edu) under ImageJ analysen mjukvaruplattform. Synapsen analys som beskrivs i detta protokoll kan tillämpas på alla nervvävnad eller kultur förberedelse för vilka du har selektiv pre-och postsynaptiska markörer. Denna synaps-analysen är ett värdefullt verktyg som kan vara allmänt används i studiet av synaptiska utveckling.
