Here, we present a protocol for staining murine skin innervation by either a pan-axonal marker or a genetic tracer of sensory neuron subtypes using floating sections. We also describe steps for using a new MATLAB-based semiautomated routine that facilitates the quantification of innervation density. This protocol can also be applied to other organs, such as the mouse's spinal cord and tongue. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Dey et al..
在此,我们介绍一种使用漂浮切片通过泛轴突标记物或感觉神经元亚型的基因示踪剂对小鼠皮肤神经支配进行染色的方案。我们还描述了使用一种基于MATLAB的新型半自动程序的步骤,该程序有助于神经支配密度的量化。该方案也可应用于其他器官,如小鼠的脊髓和舌头。有关该方案使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参考戴伊等人的研究。
