Characterization of CD4(+) CTLs ex vivo.
The cytotoxic potential of CD8(+) T cells and NK cells plays a crucial role in the immune response to pathogens. Although in vitro studies have reported that CD4(+) T cells are also able to mediate perforin-mediated killing, the in vivo existence and relevance of cytotoxic CD4(+) T cells have been the subject of debate. Here we show that a population of CD4(+) perforin(+) T cells is present in ...
متن کاملRefined ex-vivo rodent heart model reduces in vivo experimentation
To use blood in the Langendorff settings one has to substantially reduce the volume of the circulation circuit. The perfusion volume of a standard Langendorff system is about 100 ml and the priming volume of the smallest commercially available oxygenator is 50 ml. Simple calculations indicate that about 10-12 rats or 60-70 mice have to be sacrificed to obtain the amount of blood required to per...
متن کاملEx vivo culturing of whole, developing Drosophila brains.
We describe a method for ex vivo culturing of whole Drosophila brains. This can be used as a counterpoint to chronic genetic manipulations for investigating the cell biology and development of central brain structures by allowing acute pharmacological interventions and live imaging of cellular processes. As an example of the technique, prior work from our lab(1) has shown that a previously unre...
متن کاملViscoelasticity Parameters of Hifu Ablated Canine Liver Tissues Ex Vivo
Background: The feasibility of using elasticity imaging techniques for high–intensity–focused–ultrasound (HIFU) ablation monitoring and assessment has been previously demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo (e.g. [1,2]). Nonetheless, effective use of these techniques requires quantitative assessment of the changes in the mechanical properties of the ablated tissue during the treatment process. T...
متن کاملFunctional Characterization of Lamina X Neurons in ex-Vivo Spinal Cord Preparation
Functional properties of lamina X neurons in the spinal cord remain unknown despite the established role of this area for somatosensory integration, visceral nociception, autonomic regulation and motoneuron output modulation. Investigations of neuronal functioning in the lamina X have been hampered by technical challenges. Here we introduce an ex-vivo spinal cord preparation with both dorsal an...
