本协议描述在植入前阶段的小鼠胚胎进行全挂载免疫荧光定量分析的方法。一个强大的免疫协议22后跟高分辨率，整个安装使用定制的软件4聚焦成像和图像分割。而免疫协议的选择不是关键，我们发现这里呈现22是快速，可靠，并为许多我们已经测试了抗体的提供可靠的信号之一。其它协议可遵循，条件是它们的应用是在整个等效实验一致。虽然许多因素会影响每个单独?...

鼠标植入前胚胎是一个范例来研究细胞命运说明书和哺乳动物从头上皮的研究出现和体内的多能性的维持，以及一个模型。哺乳动物发育的胚胎植入前阶段致力于建立三种细胞谱系构成囊胚，即多能性外胚层 ​​- 这引起了大多数体细胞组织和生殖细胞 - 和两个胚谱系，滋养外胚层（TE）和原始内胚层（PRE）（图1A）1,2。这个协议描述的步骤（1）收获并修复植入前阶段的小鼠胚胎，（2）执行免疫荧光标记的感兴趣的蛋白质，（3）进行整个安装使用共聚焦显微镜用z-切片功能和成像（4）执行共聚焦图像和随后的定量图像分析的核分割。这条管道可以牛逼他无偏蛋白水平的测量小区标识的分配来表征原位细胞亚群。这种协议可以在少至3来进行-第4天为一个单一垫料（通常最多10个小鼠胚胎），从胚胎收集到数据分析（图1B）。几个窝的同时分析会增加成像和数据分析时间负担，从而延长了协议的总长度。 植入前阶段的小鼠胚胎是一个听话的实验系统，其中，由于其体积小，定型形态3， 在单细胞分辨率的细胞过程TOTO成像非常适合。开展胚胎的统计相关数字的公正，制度层面的分析，自动的，定量分析的管道是可取的。然而，由于内细胞团的囊胚（ICM）的高核密度（ <st荣&gt;图1A，2D），传统的图像分割平台不能提供足够的精度，以建立一个自动化或半自动化的工作流程。在另一方面，手动分割准确，还不允许细胞和胚胎的大型队列的处理，也不是适合重复性的，公正的决心小区身份的 - 学习发育阶段时，这是特别重要的地方标记模式表达还没有完全解决的（例如，不表现出跨越人口二进制分布）。我们最近开发并验证了小鼠植入前阶段的胚胎，并为实现高精度的小鼠胚胎干细胞（ES细胞）的量身定制的图像分割方法，同时需要很少的用户输入4-8。 这里提出的分析管道围绕基于MATLAB的图像分割工具，模块化交互式核分割（分）4。敏思performs无监督核分割上共焦的Z堆叠的大批量的用户已经建立图片属性的最少数量后，利用图形用户界面（GUI）（表1）4。这条管道已被证明有效的高通量数据对野生型蛋白表达和细胞定位的产生，处理实验和转基因胚胎和胚胎干细胞5-7。在本协议中，我们描述的MIN到植入前阶段的胚胎图像分割中的应用。有关胚胎干细胞的敏思性能的例子请参考4,7。自动核分割步骤显著降低了小区识别处理时的负担，而空间和荧光强度测量允许小区身份的无偏测定和基因表达结构域和细胞位置的三维地图的产生在胚胎（图1C </strong&gt;）。此外，该工作流程的可扩展性使其适用于个别窝的分析，通过实验处理的胚胎，或不同的遗传背景5,6胚胎的大同伙。敏思是免费提供的http://katlab-tools.org（软件需要MATLAB许可证）。 没有开发迄今方法允许对小鼠植入前胚胎蛋白质表达和细胞定位这样深入的数据的生成。所有的尝试到目前为止在量化这些类型的数据已被限制为手动判定和对于不同人群的细胞数的定量在胚胎（或者完全手动，或软件辅助）9-19。 （结合敏思软件）这种方法已经被量身定做和鼠标胚胎植入前胚胎干细胞和测试;不过其上具有高的核密度的其它系统的性能，虽然尚未检验，预计是等价的。
