Schlemm's canal (SC) is an endothelium-lined conduit with uniquely combined features of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels required for aqueous humor drainage from the eye. Here, we present a protocol for immunofluorescent staining of blood and lymphatic endothelial markers in mouse whole-mount anterior eye cup at different postnatal ages. We describe steps for tissue harvesting, fixation, antibody incubation, mounting, and high-resolution confocal microscopy. This protocol facilitates the understanding of SC formation and functionality at the cellular level. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Gu et al..
施莱姆管(SC)是一种内衬内皮的管道,具有独特的血管和淋巴管组合特征,是眼房水引流所必需的。在这里,我们展示了一种在不同出生后年龄的小鼠全层眼前房杯状组织中对血液和淋巴管内皮标记物进行免疫荧光染色的方案。我们描述了组织采集、固定、抗体孵育、封片和高分辨率共聚焦显微镜检查的步骤。该方案有助于在细胞水平上理解施莱姆管的形成和功能。有关该方案的使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参考顾等人的研究。
