In Vitro Selection of Aptamers to Differentiate Infectious from Non-Infectious Viruses

2.0K
We provide a protocol that can be generally applied to select aptamers that bind to infectious viruses only and not to viruses that have been rendered non-infectious by a disinfection method or to any other similar viruses. This opens the possibility of determining infectivity status in portable and rapid...

Rat Model of Photochemically-Induced Posterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy

9.0K
The goal of this protocol is to photochemically induce ischemic injury to the posterior optic nerve in rat. This model is critical to studies of the pathophysiology of posterior ischemic optic neuropathy, and therapeutic approaches for this and other optic neuropathies, as well as of other CNS ischemic...

This video demonstrates a method to generate a mouse model of primed mycobacterial uveitis (PMU) for studying post-infectious uveitis. Upon induction of PMU by intravitreal injection of heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a mouse previously immunized with the same immunogen, the progression of chronic inflammation in the eye is analyzed using imaging and histopathological...

This protocol outlines the steps for inducing Primed Mycobacterial Uveitis (PMU) in mice. This method outlines the steps to help produce reliable and robust ocular inflammation in the mouse model system. Using this protocol, we generated uveitic eyes and uninflamed fellow eyes from single animals for further evaluation with immunologic, transcriptomic, and proteomic...

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-infectious diseases
  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Ocular motor neuropathies involve cranial nerves III, IV, and VI.
  • Infectious etiologies present a broad spectrum, from common to rare pathogens.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the spectrum of infectious causes of ocular motor neuropathies.
  • To discuss diagnostic advancements for relevant pathogens.
  • To differentiate infectious causes from inflammatory or neoplastic conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of infectious etiologies affecting cranial nerves III, IV, and VI.
  • Discussion of current diagnostic techniques, including antigen detection and PCR.
  • Analysis of clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings for localization and differentiation.

Main Results:

  • Improved diagnosis of cryptococcal disease via serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) antigen detection.
  • Enhanced accuracy in tuberculosis diagnosis with cartridge PCR, though tuberculous meningitis remains challenging.
  • Rapid multiplex PCR and unbiased sequencing enable broader organism identification.

Conclusions:

  • Infectious ocular motor neuropathies can affect any part of cranial nerves III, IV, and VI.
  • Clinical and imaging findings aid in localizing infections.
  • Distinguishing infectious causes from inflammatory or neoplastic conditions requires careful evaluation of clinical, laboratory, and imaging data.
