选择合适的示踪剂是成功的神经追踪实验的关键步骤。在 bda 家族中, 建议通过顺神经通路优先输送高分子量的 bda (1万分子量), 与低分子量 bda (3000 分子量)2,3,11,12,13. 然而, 许多研究还表明, 高分子量的 BDA 也可能会与顺追踪1,2,</...

高分子量 BDA (1万分子量), 一种高度灵敏的示踪剂, 已用于在中枢神经系统中追踪神经通路20年以上的1。虽然 bda 的使用是一种常见的神经道追踪技术, 但在动物中, bda 标签的质量可能受到各种因素的影响, 如1,2,3。最近的研究表明, BDA 标签的优化结构不仅与适当的注射后生存时间有关, 而且与染色方法4相关。到目前为止, 传统的亲和-生物素-过氧化物酶复合物 (ABC), 链亲和素异硫氰酸酯, 和 streptavidin-AF594 染色方法, 以揭示 BDA 标签在以前的研究2, 3, 4,5。相比之下, BDA 的荧光染色可以很容易地进行。
为了推广高分子量 BDA 的应用, 本研究引入了一种精细化的协议。在将 bda 注射液注入大鼠脑丘脑的 VPM 后, 采用常规 ABC 染色法和双荧光染色技术对 bda 标签进行了分析, 观察了 bda 标签的相关性和基本streptavidin-AF594 和荧光尼斯尔组织化学或 PV 免疫化学的皮质靶上的神经元素或中间神经元。通过 VPM 与原发性体感皮层 (S1)6、7、8之间的相互神经通路, 我们集中观察了在丘脑-皮质预测轴突和 corticothalamic 中的 BDA 标记。投射的细胞 somas 在 S1。通过这一过程, 我们希望不仅提供一个详细的协议, 以获得高品质的神经标记的高分子量 bda, 而且还有一个完善的协议, 结合荧光 BDA 标签和其他荧光神经标记与组织化学或免疫化学。这种方法在共聚焦激光扫描显微镜下研究局部神经回路及其化学特性是比较可取的。

improving the application of high molecular weight biotinylated dextran amine for thalamocortical projection tracing in the rat

高分子量生物素化葡聚糖胺 (BDA) 已被用作高度敏感的神经解剖学示踪剂数十年。由于其标签的质量受到各种因素的影响, 在这里, 我们提供了一个完善的协议, 以应用高分子量的 BDA 研究最佳神经标记在中枢神经系统。经立体定向注入内侧核 (VPM) 的大鼠丘脑通过一个微妙的玻璃吸管, bda 染色的荧光链亲和素 Alexa (AF) 594 和复染荧光尼斯尔染色 AF500/525。在绿色尼斯尔染色的背景下, 在体感皮层显示了红色的 BDA 标记, 包括神经元细胞体和轴突末端。此外, 对 bda 和钙结合蛋白 parvalbumin (pv) 进行了双荧光染色, 观察了 bda 标记与中间神经元在皮质靶上的相关性, 为研究局部神经电路及其化学特性。因此, 这种精制方法不仅适用于通过丘脑和大脑皮层之间的相互神经通路对高品质的神经标记进行可视化, 而且还可以同时证明其他具有荧光组织化学或免疫化学的神经标记。

10天后, BDA 注入 VPM 的生存是足够的, 以产生强烈的神经标记, 在相应的皮质区域与注射方 (图 2)。BDA 的常规 ABC 和荧光染色程序都揭示了 S1 上类似的神经标记模式, 包括 anterogradely 标记的丘脑-皮质轴突和 retrogradely 标记 corticothalamic 神经元(图 2C, D).
