This video showcases canalostomy, a procedure that allows local drug delivery into the inner ear of a mouse through the semicircular canal with minimal damage to hearing and vestibular function. This method enables the inoculation of viral vectors, pharmaceuticals, and small molecules into the mouse's inner ear.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Device Preparations To make the injection cannula (Figure 1A), connect polyimide tubing (inner diameter 114.3 µm, outer diameter 139.7 µm, length ~3 cm) to polyethylene tubing (inner diameter 280 µm, outer diameter 640 µm, length ~40 cm). Using superglue, seal the connection with at …
Representative Results
Figure 1: Device preparation. (A) The polyimide tubing (i) and the polyethylene tubing (ii) are sealed to make an injection cannula (iii). (B) The cannula is connected to a 10-µL micro-syringe with a 30 G needle and then installed on a pump. Arrow indicates the cannula tip. (C) Injection reagent and normal saline are separated by an air gap. <p class="jo…
