Embodiment 1

[0027] A method for testing the toxicity of CdSe quantum dot nanomaterials through a transgenic zebrafish embryo model, the specific steps are:

[0028] (1) Healthy and sexually mature zebrafish of the fli1:EGFP strain were placed in an incubator at a ratio of 1:1, and the embryos were obtained from mating of male and female fish in the early morning, and the collection began after 0.5 hours after the light was turned on. After the embryos were collected, they were washed. Then move it into the zebrafish embryo culture medium, remove unfertilized eggs, eggs with irregular division or egg membrane damage, select fertilized eggs with normal division, and carry out toxicity test; it also includes the following steps: adding the nanomaterial test solution while making a control In the experiment, comparative observation is carried out during the process of embryo development, and indicators such as embryo death, deformity, and hatching are recorded, and dead embryos are removed in ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for testing the toxicity of a nanomaterial by using a transgenic zebra fish embryo model. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) adding nanomaterial test solution to be tested into zebra fish embryo culture solution which has been fertilized for 6 to 7 hours, or cultivating the mixture in an artificial climate cabinet to 72hpf or 96hpf; (2) taking the 72hpf or 96hpf embryo out, fixing the embryo with 4 volume percent paraformaldehyde for 24 to 30 hours, washing the embryo with phosphate (PBS) buffer solution for 2 to 4 times, and fixing the embryo on a glass slide for 24 to 48 hours, and observing blood vessels with a fluorescence microscope; and (3) judging whether the nanomaterial causes vascular injury or not according to an image acquired by the fluorescence microscope. The method has the advantages of readily available raw materials, simple administration manner and small dosage of the nanomaterial to be tested, simplicity, short test cycle and wide application prospect.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nanomaterial toxicity testing, in particular to a method for testing nanomaterial toxicity through a transgenic zebrafish embryo model. 【Background technique】 [0002] Nanomaterials are new materials developed in the mid-1980s. They are different from microscopic atoms and molecules, and also different from the superconventional properties of macroscopic substances. They are often defined as granular particles with a size within 1nm to 100nm in a certain dimension , Layered materials, their size ranges between microcrystalline materials and atomic clusters. At present, the nanomaterials widely used at home and abroad mainly include carbon nanomaterials, semiconductor quantum dots, nano-oxides (titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, zinc oxide, aluminum oxide) and nano-iron compounds. With the popularization of large-scale production and nano-products, the chances of occupational exposure and environmental ...
