The FD Rapid GolgiStain Kit (FD NeuroTechnologies, Inc., Ellicott City, MD) was developed using an improved Golgi-Cox impregnation method to provide stable, sensitive, and convenient staining of mature neurons. However, embryonic neurons cannot be clearly visualized using this method. We have further improved the Golgi-Cox method by introducing an additional aldehyde fixation step before impregnation; thus, we can stably and sufficiently impregnate fetal brain neurons so that even the fine branches of the dendritic trees are visible.
FD 快速高尔基体染色试剂盒(FD 神经技术公司,马里兰州埃利科特市)采用改良的高尔基体-考克斯浸染法开发,为成熟神经元提供稳定、敏感和便捷的染色。然而,该方法不能清晰显示胚胎神经元。我们通过在浸染前引入额外的醛固定步骤进一步改进了高尔基体-考克斯方法;因此,我们可以稳定且充分地浸染胎脑神经元,使树突的精细分支也清晰可见。
