Besides neuro-imaging, the Thy1-YFP mouse could serve for visualizing experimental tumours, inflammation and wound-healing
The B6.Cg-Tg(Thy1-YFP)16Jrs/J transgenic mouse strain, widely used to study neuronal development and regeneration, expresses the yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) in the peripheral nerves and the central nervous system under the control of regulatory sequences of the Thy1 gene. The Thy1 (CD90) cell surface glycoprotein is present on many cell types besides neurons, and is known to be involved in...
متن کاملImaging of Neuro-Inflammation
Vasogenic edema is associated with BBB dysfunction, which allows an increase in the passage of plasma proteins and water into the extracellular compartment [3, 5]. This is the main type of edema associated with inflammation and will be the main focus of this thesis. In hydrocephalus, a rise in intraventricular pressure causes the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) to migrate through the ependyma into t...
متن کاملMotor neuron pathology in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis: studies in THY1-YFP transgenic mice.
Using adult male C57BL/6 mice that express a yellow fluorescent protein transgene in their motor neurons, we induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) by immunization with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide 35-55 (MOG peptide) in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). Control mice of the same transgenic strain received CFA without MOG peptide. Early in the course of their illn...
متن کاملComputational Modeling of Inflammation and Wound Healing.
OBJECTIVE Inflammation is both central to proper wound healing and a key driver of chronic tissue injury via a positive-feedback loop incited by incidental cell damage. We seek to derive actionable insights into the role of inflammation in wound healing in order to improve outcomes for individual patients. APPROACH To date, dynamic computational models have been used to study the time evoluti...
