Brain-localized and Intravenous Microinjections in the Larval Zebrafish to Assess Innate Immune Response

[Abstract]  

Creating a robust and controlled infection model is imperative for studying the innate immune response. Leveraging the particular strengths of the zebrafish model system, such as optical transparency, ex utero development, and large clutch size, allows for the development of methods that yield consistent and reproducible results. We created a robust model for activation of innate immunity by microinjecting bacterial particles or live bacteria into larval zebrafish, unlike previous studies which largely restricted such manipulations to embryonic stages of zebrafish. The ability to introduce stimuli locally or systemically at larval stages provides significant advantages to examine host response in more mature tissues as well as the possibility to interrogate adaptive immunity at older

Liposomal Clodronate-mediated Macrophage Depletion in the Zebrafish Model

[Abstract]  

The ability to conduct in vivo macrophage-specific depletion remains an effective means to uncover functions of macrophages in a wide range of physiological contexts. Compared to the murine model, zebrafish offer superior imaging capabilities due to their optical transparency starting from a single-cell stage to throughout larval development. These qualities become important for in vivo cell specific depletions so that the elimination of the targeted cells can be tracked and validated in real time through microscopy. Multiple methods to deplete macrophages in zebrafish are available, including genetic (such as an irf8 knockout), chemogenetic (such as the nitroreductase/metronidazole system), and toxin-based depletions (such as using clodronate liposomes). The use of clodronate-containing

[摘要]  [摘要]为了进行能力在体内巨噬细胞比耗尽仍然是有效的手段,在广泛的生理环境的巨噬细胞的揭开功能。与鼠模型相比,斑马鱼具有良好的成像能力,因为它们的光学透明性从单细胞阶段到整个幼体发育期开始。这些素质成为重要的体内细胞特异的枯竭,使靶细胞的消除可以跟踪并通过显微镜进行实时验证。多种方法以耗尽巨噬细胞在斑马鱼中是可用的,包括遗传(如IRF8敲除),chemogenetic(如在 硝基还原酶/甲硝唑系统)和基于毒素的消耗(例如使用氯膦酸盐脂质体)。在吞噬脂质体后,使用含氯膦酸盐的脂质体诱导巨噬细胞凋亡可有效地消耗巨噬细胞并测试其吞噬能力。在这里,我们描述了通过静脉注射补充有荧光右旋糖酐共轭物的脂质体氯膦酸盐对斑马鱼幼虫体内巨噬细胞进行系统耗竭的详细方案。与荧光右旋糖酐共注射可以实时跟踪巨噬细胞耗竭情况,从验证静脉内注射成功到摄取巨噬细胞分子及其最终死亡开始。为了验证高度的巨噬细胞耗竭,可以在幼虫早期进行氯膦酸盐注射时通过快速中性红色活体染料染色来确定脑巨噬细胞(小胶质细胞)的清除水平。

[Abstract]  

Insects rely on the simple but effective innate immune system to combat infection. Cellular and humoral responses are interconnected and synergistic in insects’ innate immune system. Phagocytosis is one major cellular response. It is difficult to collect clean hemolymph from the small insect like pea aphid. Here, we provide a practicable method for small insects hemocyte phagocytosis assay by taking pea aphid as an example. Furthermore, we provide the protocols for pea aphid rearing and bacterial infection, which offer referential method for related research.
