[Abstract]  Determining the neuronal circuitry responsible for specific behaviors is a major focus in the field of neurobiology. Activity-dependent immediate early genes (IEGs), transcribed and translated shortly after neurons discharge action potentials, have been used extensively to either identify or gain genetic access to neurons and brain regions involved in such behaviors. By using immunohistochemistry for the protein product of the IEG c-Fos combined with retrograde labeling of specific neuronal populations, precise experimental timing, and identical data acquisition and processing, we present a method to quantitatively identify specific neuronal subpopulations that were active during social encounters. We have previously used this method to show a stronger recruitment of ventral hippocampal ... [摘要]  [摘要] 确定负责特定行为的神经元回路是神经生物学领域的主要重点。在神经元释放动作电位后不久就转录和翻译的依赖活动的立即早期基因(IEG)已被广泛用于识别或获得涉及此类行为的神经元和大脑区域的遗传途径。通过对IEG c- Fos 的蛋白质产物使用免疫组织化学,结合特定神经元群体的逆向标记,精确的实验时间,相同的数据采集和处理 ng,我们提出了一种方法,可以定量地识别在社交活动中活跃的特定神经元亚群。与社交活动后投射到下丘脑外侧的神经海马神经元相比,我们以前曾使用这种方法显示出投射到内侧前额叶皮层的腹侧海马神经元更强的募集。在优化用于逆行示踪剂注射的手术后,该方法将有助于识别和定位参与许多不同行为的神经元群体。

[背景] 神经生物学领域的基本目标是确定大脑如何处理感觉输入并产生行为输出命令。在过去的二十年中,某些大脑区域已成为控制特定行为的典范实例,例如海马体用于位置记忆(Bird和Burgess,2008年)。最近的工作开始以可以推广到多种行为的方式来解析这些区域的特定功能(Aronov 等人,2017),并确定在由远程神经元连接的给定行为中多个大脑区域的作用投影( ...

Immunofluorescence Analysis of Human Endocervical Tissue Explants Infected with Neisseria gonorrhoeae

[Abstract]  Colonization and penetration of the epithelium is the infection-initiating route of mucosal pathogens. The epithelium counteracts infection by eliciting host cell responses while maintaining the mucosal barrier function. The obligate human sexually transmitted bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or gonococcus (GC) infects the female reproductive tract primarily from the endocervical epithelium. Due to lack of an infection model that mimics all aspects of human infections in the female reproductive tract, GC pathogenesis is poorly understood. This protocol takes advantage of the viability and functional integrity of human cervical tissues propagated in culture to generate an ex vivo infection model. This tissue model maintains the nature of the infection target and ... [摘要]  上皮的定植和穿透是粘膜病原体的感染启动途径。 上皮细胞通过引发宿主细胞应答来抵抗感染,同时维持粘膜屏障功能。 专性人类性传播细菌淋病奈瑟氏球菌或淋球菌属(GC)主要从宫颈内膜上皮感染女性生殖道。 由于缺乏模仿女性生殖道人类感染的各个方面的感染模型,GC发病机制知之甚少。 该方案利用培养物中繁殖的人宫颈组织的生存力和功能完整性来产生体外感染模型。 这种组织模型保持了感染目标和环境的性质,而没有任何操作,如病毒永生化上皮细胞。 使用免疫荧光显微镜,分析GC与子宫颈上皮细胞的相互作用。


【背景】淋病奈瑟菌(GC)感染人类生殖器上皮,引起淋病,一种常见的性传播感染。女性感染可导致严重的并发症,如盆腔炎,引起输卵管瘢痕和堵塞,易发生异位妊娠或不孕。由于抗生素耐药菌株的流行率增加,淋病又成为重要的公共卫生问题。由于人类是GC的唯一宿主,因此缺乏模仿人类感染各个方面的感染模型是推进我们对GC发病机理的理解的主要障碍。我们建立了人宫颈组织外植体模型和免疫荧光显微镜分析来检测GC感染妇女GC感染的主要部位人间宫颈细胞的机制。这种体外模型保持了宫颈上皮细胞的正常细胞构筑和组织完整性。使用这种模型和免疫荧光分析,我们表明,气相色氨酸定居和渗透到子宫颈组织,在那里他们可能导致症状和播散性淋球菌感染。 ...
