Amphibian embryos have long served as an ideal model for teratogenicity testing. While whole-mount embryo observations can be utilized, histological observation of teratogenic phenotypes provides a wealth of additional information that can lead to mechanistic insights. In this chapter, detailed protocols for two methods of sectioning embryos as well as a guide for histological analysis is provided.
两栖动物胚胎长期以来一直是致畸性测试的理想模型。虽然可以利用整体胚胎观察,但对致畸表型进行组织学观察可提供大量额外信息,从而有助于深入了解其作用机制。在本章中,我们提供了两种胚胎切片方法的详细方案以及组织学分析指南。
