Intracellular lucifer yellow injection in fixed brain slices combined with retrograde tracing, light and electron microscopy.
The present paper contains a full methodological description of iontophoretic Lucifer Yellow injections in fixed brain slices in mammals. In brief, cortical tissue was either perfused or immersion-fixed in paraformaldehyde. After Vibratome sectioning, tissue slices were transferred to epifluorescence microscopes equipped with long distance objectives. Under visual guidance, neurons were selecti...
متن کاملBranching of central neurons: intracellular cobalt injection for light and electron microscopy.
Cobalt chloride can be injected into an identified nerve cell body in an insect ganglion and reacted with ammonium sulfide to stain the soma and its branches with a black precipitate. The stained cell body and its branches throughout the neuropil are visible in both the light and electron microscope. In whole mount preparations, the resolution of neurites within the neuropil is of a quality tha...
متن کاملSimultaneous characterization of efferent and afferent connectivity, neuroactive substances, and morphology of neurons.
We present a method for establishing in a single experiment four characteristics of individual neurons: the efferent and afferent connectivity, the morphology, and the content of a particular neuroactive substance. The connectivity of the neurons is determined by retrograde fluorescent tracing with Fast Blue and anterograde tracing with the lectin Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHA-L). Aft...
متن کاملLight microscopic analysis of contacts between pairs of identified leech neurons with combined use of horseradish peroxidase and lucifer yellow.
Intracellular injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and Lucifer Yellow (LY) were used to determine the locations of possible synaptic contacts between pairs of identified leech neurons. The pairs studied were ipsilateral touch sensory neurons (T cells), T cells plus the large longitudinal motoneuron (L cell), and T cells plus the annulus erector motoneuron (AE cell). The joint use of epi-f...
متن کاملLucifer Yellow Uptake in Cells and Protoplasts of Daucas carota Visualized by Laser Scanning Microscopy
The uptake of lucifer yellow CH by suspension-cultured carrot cells and protoplasts has been studied by laser scanning microscopy. This fluorochrome, which does not diffuse across membranes, gradually accumulates in the cell vacuole over a period of hours. In contrast, the central vacuole of protoplasts did not show lucifer yellow fluorescence. The latter was restricted, in protoplasts, to punc...
