Transplantation of labeled fetal spinal cord fragments into juvenile myelin-deficient rat spinal cord. 1991

Minced and triturated fragments from the spinal cord of normal rat fetuses (15-18 days gestation) labeled with the fluorescent dye fast blue (FB) were successfully transplanted into juvenile myelin-deficient rat spinal cord under direct observation. Clusters of myelinated fibers were found subsequently in the recipient spinal cord, and, by fluorescence microscopy, clusters of FB-labeled cells were found at corresponding sites. The results indicate that the surgical approach used is suitable for transplantation of tissue fragments into a defined region of juvenile rat spinal cord, that FB can be used to locate the transplanted cells subsequently, and that FB does not interfere with maturation of the donor glia or with myelin formation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008856 Microscopy, Fluorescence Microscopy of specimens stained with fluorescent dye (usually fluorescein isothiocyanate) or of naturally fluorescent materials, which emit light when exposed to ultraviolet or blue light. Immunofluorescence microscopy utilizes antibodies that are labeled with fluorescent dye. Fluorescence Microscopy,Immunofluorescence Microscopy,Microscopy, Immunofluorescence,Fluorescence Microscopies,Immunofluorescence Microscopies,Microscopies, Fluorescence,Microscopies, Immunofluorescence
D009186 Myelin Sheath The lipid-rich sheath surrounding AXONS in both the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS and PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. The myelin sheath is an electrical insulator and allows faster and more energetically efficient conduction of impulses. The sheath is formed by the cell membranes of glial cells (SCHWANN CELLS in the peripheral and OLIGODENDROGLIA in the central nervous system). Deterioration of the sheath in DEMYELINATING DISEASES is a serious clinical problem. Myelin,Myelin Sheaths,Sheath, Myelin,Sheaths, Myelin
