标签胚胎小鼠血管的方法
Summary
本文介绍了标签胚胎皮肤和胸腺血管的方法。
Abstract
功能的血管网络的建立是一个器官形成的重要组成部分，是最佳的器官功能要求。例如，在胸腺适当的血管形成和图案是胸腺细胞进入到器官和成熟的T细胞向周边出口所必需的。在胸腺血管的空间安排，是依赖于从局部微环境的信号，即胸腺上皮细胞（TEC）。最近的一些报告表明，这些信号结果在胸腺血管缺陷1,2中断。以前的研究已经描述技术用于标签的新生儿和成人的胸腺血管 1,2 。我们在这里展示一个标签血管在胚胎胸腺技术。这种方法结合使用FITC -葡聚糖或加纳（Bandeiraea）Simplicifolia凝集素我（1 – GSL isolectin乙4）面部静脉注射和CD31抗体染色，以确定胸腺的血管结构和PDGFR -β标签胸腺血管周围间质 3-5 。还提供了使用冰冻切片或vibratome部分选项。该协议可用于识别胸腺血管的缺陷，这是定义在胸腺血管形成的TEC -派生分子的角色的关键。作为方法的标签，整个血管，它也可以被用来分析多个器官和整个组织，包括皮肤和心脏 6-10胚胎的血管网络。
Protocol
1。荧光标记的葡聚糖和金思朗我isolectin乙面部静脉注射标签胚胎血管准备FITC -葡聚糖（50ug/mL）在磷酸盐缓冲液（PBS）或金思朗1 – isolectin乙4（20ug/200uL）在1.5ml的Eppendorf管中，并在PBS温暖至37 ° C 。股票1.25MM快速绿/ PBS 100uL FITC -葡聚糖溶液（总体积毫升）和股票1.25MM快速180uL绿/ PBS金思朗1 – isolectin乙4（总体积200uL），这样的解决方案是明显的蓝色。 解剖E14.5 – E18.5胚胎…
Discussion
全安装和PECAM – 1（CD31）染色部分标签在胚胎小鼠的血管的常规方法。这些方法需要使用的直接和/或间接免疫荧光和洗涤剂通透小鼠组织。这被证明是一个相当及时处理。在这里，我们有FITC -葡聚糖或isolectin B级4面部静脉注射直接标记的胚胎血管，从而消除了抗体标记的步骤要求。此外，这种方法使血管功能状态的评估，将通过这种方法，而不是由传统抗体染色方法显示“漏水”的表型。…
