本文介绍了一种能在同一神经元内同时显示HRP逆行标记以及Fos和某类神经递质或相关酶(例如TH)的三重标记技术。首先将HRP注入脑内某一核团(如中央杏仁核),动物存活48h后,再向胃内导入1%福尔马林2ml,以造成对胃的伤害性刺激,2h后将动物处死。脑的切片(如本文的延髓切片)先用四甲基联苯胺-钨酸钠(TMB-ST)法进行HRP呈色反应,后用二氨基联苯胺(DAB)和氯化钴作加强;然后按ABC法进行Fos免疫组织化学反应,继之按PAP法进行TH免疫组织化学反应。光镜下在延髓切片观察到7种标记神经元,即TH-、HRP-或Fos-单标记神经元,TH和HRP-、TH和Fos-或HRP和Fos的双标记神经元以及TH和HRP和Fos的三标记神经元。该方法为研究同时显示中枢神经元的功能活动状态、传出投射及所含神经递质提供了一个强有力的工具。
This article presents a triple-tagging technique that displays both HRP retrograde labeling and Fos and certain neurotransmitters or related enzymes (eg, TH) within the same neuron. Firstly, HRP was injected into a certain nucleus in the brain (such as the central amygdala). After the animals survived for 48 hours, 1 ml of formalin 2 ml was infused into the stomach to cause noxious stimulation to the stomach, and the animals were sacrificed after 2 hours. Brain sections (eg, medulla oblongata) were first HRP-colored with tetramethylbenzidine-sodium tungstate (TMB-ST) followed by diaminobenzidine (DAB) and cobalt chloride According to ABC method, Fos immunohistochemical reaction was carried out, followed by TH immunohistochemical reaction by PAP method. Seven labeled neurons, TH-, HRP- or Fos-mono-labeled neurons, double labeled neurons of TH and HRP-, TH and Fos- or HRP and Fos, as well as TH and HRP And Fos’s triple-labeled neurons. This method provides a powerful tool for studying both the functional activity of central neurons and the transmission and projection of neurotransmitters.
