Activity-dependent fluorescent staining and destaining of living vertebrate motor nerve terminals.
Living motor nerve terminals from several species can be stained in an activity-dependent fashion by certain styryl dyes, such as RH414, RH795, and a new dye, FM1-43, which can be imaged independently of the others. The dyes evidently become trapped within recycled synaptic vesicles. In frog cutaneus pectoris muscle, bright fluorescent spots spaced regularly along the length of the nerve termin...
متن کاملFluorescent probes that stain living nerve terminals.
We have evaluated the efficacy of 18 cationic mitochondrial dyes that, as a class, show some ability to stain living nerve terminals. Several of these agents provide excellent staining of neuromuscular junctions in a wide range of species. More detailed studies of the most effective of these dyes--4-(4-diethylaminostyryl)-N-methylpyridinium iodide (4-Di-2-ASP)--indicate that it has no lasting e...

متن کاملOptical measurements of activity-dependent membrane recycling in motor nerve terminals of mammalian skeletal muscle.
Motor nerve terminals in a variety of rat and mouse skeletal muscles were stained in an activity-dependent fashion using the styryl dyes FM1-43 or FM2-10. Low-light video microscopy and digital image processing techniques were used to evaluate destaining of the preparations during application of depolarizing stimuli. Best results were obtained with the mouse triangularis sterni muscle. Quantita...
متن کاملCalcium-dependent depolarizations originating in lizard motor nerve terminals.
Action potentials and afterpotentials were recorded via a microelectrode inserted into motor axons innervating the lizard ceratomandibularis muscle. Intra-axonal injection of Lucifer yellow dye indicated that these axons innervate multiple (at least 6-25) motor terminals. In 10 mM tetraethylammonium (TEA), the action potential was followed by a sequence of afterpotentials, whose amplitude and d...
