Microinjection and Axonal Transport Imaging

Dissociated SCG neurons were microinjected using a Zeiss Axiovert S100 microscope with an Eppendorf FemtoJet microinjector and Eppendorf TransferMan® micromanipulator. Plasmids were diluted in 0.5× PBS (without CaCl2 and MgCl2) and filtered using a Spin-X filter (Costar). The mix was injected directly into the nuclei of SCG neurons using Eppendorf Femtotips. Approximately 100 neurons were injected per dish. Injected plasmids were allowed to express for 16 h before CCCP treatment. Plasmids were injected at the following concentrations: 30 ng/μl NMNAT2-EGFP, 30 ng/μl pDsRed2-N1. Time-lapse imaging of axonal transport was performed on an Olympus IX70 imaging system with 100×/1.35 Oil objective. During imaging, cell cultures were maintained at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in an environment chamber. Images were captured at 4 frames per sec for 2 min. Three neurites per condition were imaged in every individual experiment.

Microinjection of SCG Neurons

Microinjection was performed as previously described16 (link) with minor modifications. Dissociated cells were microinjected using a Zeiss Axiovert S100 microscope (Cambridge, UK) with an Eppendorf FemtoJet transjector and 5171 micromanipulator system and Eppendorf Femtotips (Stevenage, UK). Plasmids were diluted in 0.5 × PBS to a concentration of 100 ng/μl and passed through a Spin-X filter (Costar, Fisher, Loughborough, UK). The mix was injected directly into the nuclei of SCG neurons in dissociated cultures. All plasmids were co-injected with DsRed2 at a concentration of 25 ng/μl. In all, 70–200 neurons were injected per dish. Injection of relatively few neurons per dish facilitated visualization of individual labelled neurites, as neurites tend to cluster together in bundles.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
