Summary

Automatic Translation

ACT-PRESTO (active clarity technique–pressure related efficient and stable transfer of macromolecules into organs) enables rapid, efficient, but inexpensive tissue clearing and rapid antibody penetration into cleared tissues by passive diffusion or pressure-assisted delivery. Using this method, a wide range of tissues can be cleared, immunolabeled by multiple antibodies, and volume-imaged.
