(二)美國NIGHTSEA轉基因生物觀測利器的應用之——樣本預篩選和輔助解剖
熒光是細胞生物學、神經生物學等多個研究領域中廣泛使用的工具。nightsea的DFP-1, BLS2和SFA-RB可以用于樣本的預篩選、輔助解剖等,下面列舉幾個實例:
1. 熒光蛋白標記的工程病毒載體在神經元功能研究中應用十分廣泛,常通過顱內注射研究特定腦區的功能。在此中,常需要對病毒表達區域進行快速解剖用于特定的生化分析。為了提高快速解剖定位度,研究人員選用nightsea的BLS2 Bluestar手電筒觀測系列,通過配合nightsea濾光眼鏡準確定位注射表達了熒光蛋白的伏核區(文獻– Xuan Li and Marina E. Wolf, 2011. Visualization of virus-infected brain regions using a GFP-illuminating flashlight enables accurate and rapid dissection for biochemical analysis. J. of Neuroscience Methods, Vol. 201, Issue 1, pp. 177-179. )
EGFP標記的慢病毒載體注射進小鼠大腦區域(Marina Wolf, Rosalind Franklin University)
2. 研究者從小鼠大腦中提取GFP標記的背紋體。這項困難的工作因有了NIGHTSEA的DFP-1或BLS2(手電筒和眼鏡組合)而變得簡單:很容易看到大腦中的目標區域,讓解剖更準確、。

3. 用DFP-1雙熒光蛋白手電筒,BLS2單熒光蛋白手電筒,或SFA-RB體視顯微鏡熒光適配器,可以快速檢測樣本是否成功染色(Alexa Fluor 488 Phalloidin標記),如下圖:

4.用SFA-RB體視顯微鏡熒光適配器以斑馬魚為模型,觀測不同有害化學物(醫藥、***、食品添加劑等)對大腦發育的影響。觀測圖片如下:

5. 熒光是珊瑚采集研究的重要工具。現在,可以用經濟又實惠的SFA-RB體視顯微鏡熒光適配器安裝到體視顯微鏡上檢測珊瑚。

6. 用于結核分枝桿菌重組株的篩選
在結核分枝桿菌中成功構建了同源重組系統,利用該系統構建了rv1364c、pstP跨膜區、pstP胞外區三個突變株,得到雙交換突變株的效率為25%-62.5%,從雙交換突變株得到無痕缺失突變株的效率為100%。通過gfp作為熒光標記基因,利用NightSea BlueStar藍光手電筒和濾光眼鏡,可以對平板上的基因缺失株菌落直接進行快速判定。
采用nightsea BLS2 BlueStar 藍色手電筒和濾光鏡對平板上的結核分枝桿菌綠色熒光蛋白菌落進行快速鑒定。該方法可以從幾百個菌落中瞬間鎖定陽性克隆。平板上的菌落照片拍攝用單反相機加載購自nightsea公司的濾光片實現。
熒光是細胞生物學、神經生物學等領域中廣泛使用的工具。美國nightsea致力于研究和開發熒光觀測裝備,其產品系列有DFP-1雙熒光蛋白手電筒系列,BLS2單熒光蛋白手電筒系列,SFA-RB體視顯微鏡熒光適配器等。
DFP-1 Dual Fluorescent Protein Flashlight 雙熒光蛋白手電筒系列
DFP-1雙熒光蛋白手電筒,有兩個可轉換的高強度LED,可激發高強度光源。目前,綠色熒光(GFP、EGFP、fluorescein等)和紅色熒光(DsREed,TdTomato等)是常用的類型,nightsea常規的DFP-1雙熒光蛋白手電筒是激發藍光和綠光,再分別使用黃色濾光鏡和紅色濾光鏡,就可以分別檢測綠色熒光蛋白(GFP、EGFP、fluorescein等)和紅色熒光蛋白(DsREed,TdTomato等)了。
標準的DFP-1雙熒光蛋白觀測鏡,只有RB-Royal Blue和GR-Green兩種熒光激發裝置,也就是說標準的DFP-1只能用于觀測綠色熒光蛋白和紅色熒光蛋白。
現在,您可以選擇以下任何兩種熒光裝置,組裝成自己專屬的雙熒光蛋白手電筒。
