This video showcases the oral administration of transformed yeast cells into a mouse model. The transformed yeast cells are orally administered using a gavage technique, reaching the mouse's stomach. Later, the cells migrate to the small intestine, where microfold cells engulf them and facilitate their transfer to Peyer's patches and gain access to the intestinal immune system.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. UV Mutagenesis to Generate Auxotrophic Yeast Strains Generate survival curves to determine needed doses of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation Prepare YPD (yeast extract peptone dextrose) media and other reagents listed in Table 1 according to standard procedures and inoculate single…
Representative Results
Figure 1. Yeast colonies grown on YPD media. Example YPD plate showing viable colony forming units (CFU) of probiotic yeast after UV irradiation. Cells were serially diluted such that individual CFU can be distinguished and counted. Figure 2. Survival c…
