Anvendelse af vira til at studere neurale kredsløb er et relativt højt gennemløb metode til at analysere forbundne neuroner. Men genererer både VSV og RABV virioner er ikke trivielt. Selv om protokollen er anført ovenfor til redning virus fra cDNA er tilvejebragt, er det stadig en lav sandsynlighed begivenhed. Niveauerne af hver af de N-, P-og L-plasmider skal finjusteres, og mange forsøg og replikater skal gøres for at sikre viral redning.

viral tracing of genetically defined neural circuitry

Klassiske metoder til at studere neuronale kredsløb er forholdsvis lille produktion. Transsynaptisk vira, især pseudorabiesvira (PRV) og rabiesvirus (RABV), og for nylig vesikulær stomatitis virus (VSV), til undersøgelse af kredsløb, bliver stadig mere populære. Disse højere throughput metoder bruger virus, der sender mellem neuroner i enten anterograd eller retrograd retning. For nylig blev en modificeret RABV for monosynaptiske retrograde tracing udviklet. (Figur 1A). I denne fremgangsmåde er glycoprotein (G)-gen er fjernet fra det virale genom, og resupplied kun i målrettede neuroner. Infektion specificitet opnås ved at substituere et kimært G, der består af det ekstracellulære domæne af ASLV-A glycoprotein, og det cytoplasmatiske domæne af RABV-G (A / RG), til den normale RABV-G 1. Dette kimære G specifikt inficerer celler, der udtrykker TVA receptor 1. Genet, der koder TVA kan blevet delivered ved forskellige fremgangsmåder 2-8. Efter RABV-G infektion af en TVA-udtrykkende neuron kan RABV sender til andre, synaptisk forbundne neuroner i en retrograd retning af natur af sin egen G, som var co-leveres med TVA-receptoren. Denne teknik mærker et relativt stort antal indgange (5-10%) 2 på en defineret celletype, der giver et udsnit af alle de input ned på en defineret starter celletype. Vi har for nylig ændret denne teknik til at bruge VSV som en transsynaptisk sporstof 9. VSV har flere fordele, herunder den hurtige genekspression. Her har vi detaljeret et nyt viralt sporingssystem hjælp VSV nyttige til probning microcircuitry med forøget opløsning. De oprindelige offentliggjorte strategier Wickersham et al. 4 og Beier et al. Ni tillader mærkningen af neuroner, der projicerer inficeret oprindeligt-TVA-udtrykkende-celler, her VSV blev manipuleret til kun at transmittere til tvA-udtrykkende celler (Figur 1B). Viruset først pseudotype med RABV-G for at tillade infektion af neuroner nedstrøms for TVA-udtrykkende neuroner. Efter infektion af denne første population af celler, frigivet virus kan kun inficere TVA-udtrykkende celler. Fordi transsynaptisk viral spredning er begrænset til TVA-udtrykkende celler, tilstedeværelsen eller fraværet af forbindelse fra definerede celletyper kan undersøges med høj opløsning. En eksperimentel rutediagram af disse eksperimenter er vist i figur 2. Her viser vi en model kredsløb, at retningsændring-selektivitet i muse retina. Vi undersøger forbinde starburst amacrine celler (SAC) til retinale ganglieceller (rGCS).
