(二)美国NIGHTSEA转基因生物观测利器的应用之——样本预筛选和辅助解剖
荧光是细胞生物学、神经生物学等多个研究领域中广泛使用的工具。nightsea的DFP-1, BLS2和SFA-RB可以用于样本的预筛选、辅助解剖等,下面列举几个实例:
1. 荧光蛋白标记的工程病毒载体在神经元功能研究中应用十分广泛,常通过颅内注射研究特定脑区的功能。在此中,常需要对病毒表达区域进行快速解剖用于特定的生化分析。为了提高快速解剖定位度,研究人员选用nightsea的BLS2 Bluestar手电筒观测系列,通过配合nightsea滤光眼镜准确定位注射表达了荧光蛋白的伏核区(文献– 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标记的慢病毒载体注射进小鼠大脑区域(Marina Wolf, Rosalind Franklin University)
2. 研究者从小鼠大脑中提取GFP标记的背纹体。这项困难的工作因有了NIGHTSEA的DFP-1或BLS2(手电筒和眼镜组合)而变得简单:很容易看到大脑中的目标区域,让解剖更准确、。

3. 用DFP-1双荧光蛋白手电筒,BLS2单荧光蛋白手电筒,或SFA-RB体视显微镜荧光适配器,可以快速检测样本是否成功染色(Alexa Fluor 488 Phalloidin标记),如下图:

4.用SFA-RB体视显微镜荧光适配器以斑马鱼为模型,观测不同有害化学物(医药、***、食品添加剂等)对大脑发育的影响。观测图片如下:

5. 荧光是珊瑚采集研究的重要工具。现在,可以用经济又实惠的SFA-RB体视显微镜荧光适配器安装到体视显微镜上检测珊瑚。

6. 用于结核分枝杆菌重组株的筛选
在结核分枝杆菌中成功构建了同源重组系统,利用该系统构建了rv1364c、pstP跨膜区、pstP胞外区三个突变株,得到双交换突变株的效率为25%-62.5%,从双交换突变株得到无痕缺失突变株的效率为100%。通过gfp作为荧光标记基因,利用NightSea BlueStar蓝光手电筒和滤光眼镜,可以对平板上的基因缺失株菌落直接进行快速判定。
采用nightsea BLS2 BlueStar 蓝色手电筒和滤光镜对平板上的结核分枝杆菌绿色荧光蛋白菌落进行快速鉴定。该方法可以从几百个菌落中瞬间锁定阳性克隆。平板上的菌落照片拍摄用单反相机加载购自nightsea公司的滤光片实现。
荧光是细胞生物学、神经生物学等领域中广泛使用的工具。美国nightsea致力于研究和开发荧光观测装备,其产品系列有DFP-1双荧光蛋白手电筒系列,BLS2单荧光蛋白手电筒系列,SFA-RB体视显微镜荧光适配器等。
DFP-1 Dual Fluorescent Protein Flashlight 双荧光蛋白手电筒系列
DFP-1双荧光蛋白手电筒,有两个可转换的高强度LED,可激发高强度光源。目前,绿色荧光(GFP、EGFP、fluorescein等)和红色荧光(DsREed,TdTomato等)是常用的类型,nightsea常规的DFP-1双荧光蛋白手电筒是激发蓝光和绿光,再分别使用黄色滤光镜和红色滤光镜,就可以分别检测绿色荧光蛋白(GFP、EGFP、fluorescein等)和红色荧光蛋白(DsREed,TdTomato等)了。
标准的DFP-1双荧光蛋白观测镜,只有RB-Royal Blue和GR-Green两种荧光激发装置,也就是说标准的DFP-1只能用于观测绿色荧光蛋白和红色荧光蛋白。
现在,您可以选择以下任何两种荧光装置,组装成自己专属的双荧光蛋白手电筒。
