Here, we describe a newly developed multiplex fluorescent immunoassay that uses a dual-reporter flow cytometric system to concurrently detect two unique spike protein epitopes on intact severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral particles that had been captured by angiotensin-converting enzyme-2-coupled magnetic microspheres.

In the past many in vitro culture systems -- mainly monolayer cultures -- often suffered from the disadvantage that differentiated primary cells had a relatively short life-span and de-differentiated during culture. As a consequence, most of their organ-specific functions were lost rapidly. Thus, in order to reproduce better conditions for these cells in vitro, modifications and adaptations have been made to conventional monolayer cultures.

Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs), the most common pathological consequence of endometrial injury, severely impair reproductive function. Trauma and infection are widely recognized as key risk factors for IUA development. We have successfully established a reproducible rat model of IUAs by combining two critical injury methods: mechanical curettage and infectious induction with lipopolysaccharide.
FAQs
The two-sided supply supports exchange at both tissue interfaces rather than relying on a single exposed surface. This can make ions, nutrients, and experimental compounds more uniformly accessible throughout the preparation, while oxygenated solution helps sustain viable circuitry. The result is a better-controlled tissue environment for measuring responses across the slice.
An oxygenated physiological solution helps preserve the conditions needed for viable circuitry during ex vivo work. Its delivery also supports access to ions, nutrients, and experimental compounds at the tissue interfaces. This matters when investigators apply pharmacological manipulations or compare circuit responses, because the preparation remains exposed to a controlled chemical environment.
Compared with one-sided perfusion, the dual-surface arrangement addresses the limitation that exchange occurs through only one interface. Reaching the upper and lower surfaces can improve uniformity across the preparation and help sustain slice stability. These characteristics are especially relevant when experiments require consistent recordings or repeated responses under controlled conditions.
Implementation centers on a brain-slice chamber that exposes both tissue surfaces to the perfusing solution. The setup delivers oxygenated physiological solution to the upper and lower interfaces at the same time. This arrangement establishes the controlled ex vivo environment needed for subsequent recording, compound application, or imaging.
The technique can be integrated with electrophysiological recording, pharmacological manipulation, and imaging. These combinations allow investigators to examine synaptic transmission, neuronal excitability, and circuit responses while controlling the surrounding solution. Pairing perfusion with these readouts links tissue exposure to measurable functional changes, rather than limiting the experiment to tissue maintenance alone.
Researchers can choose this approach when an ex vivo neural preparation must remain stable while investigators test circuit function under controlled conditions. Its value is greatest for studies requiring access to experimental compounds alongside measurements of synaptic transmission, excitability, or broader circuit responses. Improved stability and uniform exposure can strengthen reproducibility and physiological relevance.
