Development and Optimization of High-throughput Zebrafish Screening Platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
The high-throughput zebrafish screening platform is a revolutionary tool that enables subcellular precision in vivo whole animal screening of Danio Rerio. It can perform laser surgery and/or imaging in less than twenty seconds per fish. This is a two orders of magnitude improvement from the existing manual method, which takes 10 to 15 minutes per fish. The platform also has the ability to rotate the fish in any angle for imaging or laser surgery. There has never been a platform that could align and position a zebrafish consistently and efficiently in such manner before. This crucial functionality was realized through a design in which zebrafish was screened in a capillary tube.

High-throughput Cellular-resolution in Vivo Vertebrate Screening
Due to its small size and optical transparency, zebrafish larvae are excellent vertebrate models to study human diseases in vivo. We previously developed a high throughput screening platform capable of handling, cellular-resolution imaging and optically manipulating zebrafish larvae. Here, we present new novel technologies to significantly increase the throughput of our screening platform by mu...
متن کاملDevelopment and Validation of an Automated High-Throughput System for Zebrafish In Vivo Screenings
The zebrafish is a vertebrate model compatible with the paradigms of drug discovery. The small size and transparency of zebrafish embryos make them amenable for the automation necessary in high-throughput screenings. We have developed an automated high-throughput platform for in vivo chemical screenings on zebrafish embryos that includes automated methods for embryo dispensation, compound deliv...

متن کاملTesting tuberculosis drug efficacy in a zebrafish high-throughput translational medicine screen.
The translational value of zebrafish high-throughput screens can be improved when more knowledge is available on uptake characteristics of potential drugs. We investigated reference antibiotics and 15 preclinical compounds in a translational zebrafish-rodent screening system for tuberculosis. As a major advance, we have developed a new tool for testing drug uptake in the zebrafish model. This i...
متن کاملNootropic Medicinal Plants; Evaluating Potent Formulation By Novelestic High throughput Pharmacological Screening (HTPS) Method
The principle of this method was to screen the pharmacological activity of six prepared polyphyto formulations by using high throughput screening method for their nootropic action. The study was performed in three stages using one, two and three animals, respectively in a group. Test formulations were given p.o daily at the dose of 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight. The test formulations were compar...
