Hjelp av virus å studere nevrale kretser er en relativt høy gjennomstrømning metode for å analysere tilkoblede nerveceller. Men, genererer både VSV og RABV virioner er ikke trivielt. Selv om protokollen ovenfor for å redde virus fra cDNA er gitt, er det fortsatt en lav sannsynlighet arrangementet. Nivåene av hver av N, P, og L plasmider må finjusteres, og mange forsøk og replikerer må gjøres for å sikre viral redning.

viral tracing of genetically defined neural circuitry

Klassiske metoder for å studere nevrale kretser er ganske lav gjennomstrømming. Transsynaptic virus, spesielt pseudorabies (PRV) og rabies virus (RABV), og mer nylig vesikulær stomatitt virus (VSV), for å studere kretser, blir stadig mer populært. Disse høyere gjennomstrømning metoder bruker virus som smitter mellom nerveceller i enten anterograd eller retrograd retning. Nylig ble en modifisert RABV for monosynaptisk retrograd tracing utviklet. (Figur 1A). I denne metoden blir glykoprotein (G) genet slettet fra det virale genomet, og resupplied bare i målrettede nevroner. Infeksjon spesifisitet oppnås ved å substituere et kimært G, bestående av det ekstracellulære domenet til ASLV-A glykoprotein og den cytoplasmiske domenet av RABV-G (A / RG), for normal RABV-G 1. Dette chimeriske G infiserer spesifikt celler som uttrykker TVA reseptor 1. Genet som koder TVA kan vært delivered av ulike metoder 2-8. Etter RABV-G infeksjon i en TVA-uttrykke nervecellen, kan RABV overføre til andre, synaptically koblet nevroner i en retrograd retning av natur av sin egen G som var co-leveres med TVA reseptoren. Denne teknikken etiketter et relativt stort antall innganger (5-10%) 2 på en definert celletype, som gir en sampling av alle inngangene bort på en definert startbilde celletype. Vi har nylig endret denne teknikken til å bruke VSV som transsynaptic tracer 9. VSV har flere fordeler, blant annet hurtighet av genuttrykk. Her har vi detalj en ny viral sporing ved hjelp VSV nyttig for sondering microcircuitry med økt oppløsning. Mens den opprinnelige publiserte strategier ved Wickersham et al. 4 og Beier et al. 9 tillatelse merking av eventuelle nevroner som prosjekt på først-smittet TVA-uttrykke-celler, her VSV ble utviklet for å overføre bare til TVA-uttrykke celler (figur 1b). Viruset er første pseudotyped med RABV-G for å tillate infeksjon av nevroner nedstrøms TVA-uttrykker nerveceller. Etter å infisere denne første populasjon av celler, utgitt viruset kan bare infisere TVA-uttrykke celler. Fordi transsynaptic viral spredning er begrenset til TVA-uttrykke celler, tilstedeværelse av fravær av tilkobling fra definerte celletyper kan utforskes med høy oppløsning. En eksperimentell flytdiagram av disse eksperimentene er vist i figur 2. Her viser vi en modell krets, at av retning-selektivitet i musen netthinnen. Vi undersøker tilkobling av stjerneglanseffekter amacrine celler (SACS) til retinal ganglion celler (RGCs).
