Problems solved by technology

However, the internal fluorescent protein signal of the specimen transparently treated by organic solvent is seriously quenched, and can only be stored for 2-3 days, which is not conducive to the stable observation and long-term research of the sample

Embodiment 1

[0043] Prepare 50% tetrahydrofuran, 70% tetrahydrofuran, 80% tetrahydrofuran, 90% tetrahydrofuran, and 97% tetrahydrofuran with distilled water, each 50ml, put them in sealed glass bottles, and wrap the glass bottles tightly with aluminum foil to avoid light. Soak the brain specimens in the THF dehydrating agent from low concentration to high concentration for 12 hours each, and then replace the fresh 97% THF solution twice, and then use benzyl ether as a transparent agent to transparentize the brain specimens. Take it out from the 97% tetrahydrofuran solution and immerse it in a sealed glass bottle filled with 50ml of benzyl ether solution for 2 days, and the glass bottle is also wrapped with aluminum foil to avoid light. figure 1 and figure 2 They are respectively the transparency effect diagram of the fluorescent protein transgenic mouse brain specimen treated by Example 1 of the present invention and the light sheet illumination microscope imaging image 1 day after the tr...

Embodiment 2

[0045] Prepare 50ml of 50% ethanol, 70% ethanol, 80% ethanol, 90% ethanol, and 98% ethanol with distilled water, put them in sealed glass bottles, and wrap the glass bottles tightly with aluminum foil to avoid light. The brain specimens were soaked in ethanol dehydrating agents from low concentration to high concentration for 12 hours each, and then replaced with fresh 98% ethanol solution twice. Then use benzyl ether as a transparent agent to transparentize the brain specimen. Take the brain specimen out of the 97% ethanol solution and immerse it in a sealed glass bottle containing 50ml of benzyl ether solution for 1 day. The glass bottle is also treated with aluminum foil. Wrap away from light. image 3 It is the light-sheet illumination microscope imaging image of the fluorescent protein transgenic mouse brain specimen 3 months after being treated in Example 2 of the present invention.

Abstract

The invention discloses a protecting method for a fluorescence signal of a fluorescent protein in a tissue sample and a dehydration composition. The method is characterized in that in a dehydration process, the volume concentration of an organic reagent in a dehydrating agent in a final step is set as 97 to 99.5 percent, and trace water is still enabled to be contained in tissue; the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent protein in the tissue is protected by using a mild emulsification effect generated by water and organic solvent. A tissue specimen prepared by adopting the method has transparency which can meet the imaging demand on a complete organ; in addition, the fluorescence signal of the fluorescent protein is stable, can be kept for three months, and is suitable for long-time continuous observation under imaging equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of biomedicine and transparent specimen preparation, and more specifically relates to a method for protecting fluorescent protein fluorescent signals in tissue samples and a dehydrating composition. Background technique [0002] Complete organ tissue transparent technology is a technology that uses chemical or physical principles and methods to transparentize large or complete organs. After transparent tissue samples are labeled with fluorescent proteins, cells of interest can be directly detected by optical instruments. Or other microstructures for observational studies. Tissue transparent technology avoids the cumbersome procedures of traditional mechanical sectioning and the discontinuity of sample observation. [0003] In recent years, methods for tissue transparency have emerged in an endless stream, which can be roughly divided into two categories, one is to use water-soluble reagents for transparency, and the...
