Microtargeted gene silencing and ectopic expression in live embryos using biolistic delivery with a pneumatic capillary gun.
Introduction Modulating gene expression, either by transfection or by RNA interference (RNAi), is a powerful means for studying the functions of essential genes during nervous system development and maintenance. Both approaches depend on the successful delivery of the corresponding nucleic acids into the targeted cells. Current methods for introducing DNA and RNA into cells and tissues include ...
متن کاملRegioselective Biolistic Targeting in Organotypic Brain Slices Using a Modified Gene Gun
Transfection of DNA has been invaluable for biological sciences and with recent advances to organotypic brain slice preparations, the effect of various heterologous genes could thus be investigated easily while maintaining many aspects of in vivo biology. There has been increasing interest to transfect terminally differentiated neurons for which conventional transfection methods have been fraug...
متن کاملIn vivo analysis of glucocorticoid-induced reporter gene expression using gene gun DNA delivery.
Glucocorticoid regulates various physiological processes via the activation and repression of gene expression. The anti-inflammatory effects and the adverse effects are believed to be dependent on the repression and the activation of genes, respectively. Reporter gene assay is a useful technique to separately evaluate these two functions and has been used for in vitro screening of novel ligands...
متن کاملNano-biolistics: a method of biolistic transfection of cells and tissues using a gene gun with novel nanometer-sized projectiles
BACKGROUND Biolistic transfection is proving an increasingly popular method of incorporating DNA or RNA into cells that are difficult to transfect using traditional methods. The technique routinely uses 'microparticles', which are ~1 μm diameter projectiles, fired into tissues using pressurised gas. These microparticles are efficient at delivering DNA into cells, but cannot efficiently transfec...
متن کاملBiolistic gun-mediated maize genetic transformation.
Biolistic gun-mediated transformation is one of the two most effective and popular methods for introducing genes into maize. In this chapter, we describe a detailed protocol for genetic transformation of the maize genotype, Hi II. The protocol uses 0.6-microm gold particles as microcarriers and the herbicide resistance bar gene as a selective marker. Both immature zygotic embryos and immature e...
