Intracerebroventricular viral injection of the neonatal mouse brain for persistent and widespread neuronal transduction.
With the pace of scientific advancement accelerating rapidly, new methods are needed for experimental neuroscience to quickly and easily manipulate gene expression in the mouse brain. Here we describe a technique first introduced by Passini and Wolfe for direct intracranial delivery of virally-encoded transgenes into the neonatal mouse brain. In its most basic form, the procedure requires only ...
متن کاملIntracerebroventricular injection of microglia protects against focal brain ischemia.
Microglia are macrophage-like phagocytic cells in the brain parenchyma. However, microglial function after neurodegeneration is not fully understood. In this study, occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and reperfusion caused massive neuronal loss in the rat cerebral cortex and striatum after 3 days. When exogenous microglia were microinjected into the intracerebroventricle during MCA o...
متن کاملBrain enzyme activities after intracerebroventricular injection of streptozotocin in rats receiving acetyl-L-carnitine.
Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of streptozotocin has been introduced as a means to inhibit glucose utilization in the rat brain, and to induce changes in neurotransmitter systems and behavior which resemble those seen in Alzheimer's disease. In this study, enzyme activities previously investigated in Alzheimer's disease (peptidases, dehydrogenases and acetyltransferases) were measur...
متن کاملFate of cultured cells after injection into the circulation of syngeneic animals.
In a model of metastasis, the fate of radioactively labeled cells cultured from spontaneous tumors was studied by i.v. injection into animals syngeneic with the tumor. Double isotope labeling of the cells produced a 14C/3H ratio that was used to identify putatively undamaged cells within the tissues. It was found that within 5 min of injection the cells concentrated almost exclusively in the lu...
متن کاملDaily CCK injection enhances reduction of body weight by chronic intracerebroventricular leptin infusion.
In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that a single daily injection of the gut peptide CCK, together with continuous leptin infusion, would produce significantly greater loss of body weight than leptin alone. We found that a single daily intraperitoneal injection of CCK-8 (0.5 microg/kg) significantly enhanced the weight-reducing effects of 0.5 microg/day leptin infused continuously in...
