Summary

神经诱导是在大脑形成的第一步。它是一种机制,使恒胜的节点(组织者),指示相邻的组织采用了神经的命运,即会引起神经系统。本视频演示了在鸡胚神经诱导实验。

Abstract

鸡胚是一个有价值的工具,在早期胚胎发育的研究。其透明度,可获得性和易于操纵,使其为研究神经系统的形成和最初的图案的理想工具。本视频演示了如何移植到主机组织者组织,恒胜小号节点的方法是,(在鸡胚的组织者)被嫁接到一个主机主管外胚层。主办移植指示覆NA已经组织采取通过神经诱导信号的神经命运。这一机制被称为神经诱导,并构成了脊椎动物的大脑和脊髓的形成初始步骤。这种方法实质上是公认的在小鸡的神经诱导分子的特性。本视频演示了在神经诱导实验的不同步骤,首先,德纳胚胎explanted和寄托一道菜。然后,主机胚胎准备为新的文化。移植是切除和移植到主机领域的透明带保证金。主机是培养18-22小时。大会是固定的,为进一步应用(例如原位杂交)处理。这种方法最初设计由沃丁顿<sup> 1,2</sup>和Gallera<sup> 3,4</sup>。

Protocol

一,原理概述: 本视频演示了在不同的步骤检测在鸡胚神经诱导。首先,主机的胚胎是explanted在新的文化[NI1]。然后,德纳胚胎是在生理盐水和恒胜的节点(在鸡的“组织者”)explanted与荧光染料DII标记[NI2]。恒胜的节点是从德纳胚胎切除[NI3]和主机的胚胎移植到[NI4,NI5]。主机…

Discussion

本视频演示了不同的步骤执行检测神经诱导,这种检测基本上是公认的在小鸡的神经诱导分子的特性,因此可以使用一个广泛的应用, 范围胚胎 micromanipulations 1-4,; 6日至揭开新的信号级联反应,7,8,所有旨在了解初步形成大脑和神经系统的其余步骤。
