Flow Cytometric Analysis for Identification of the Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells of Murine Lung

In this study, we present an effective and reproducible protocol to isolate the immune populations of the murine respiratory system. We also provide a method for the identification of all innate and adaptive immune cells that reside in the lungs of healthy mice, using a 9-color-based flow cytometry...

An In Vitro Method to Identify Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells Residing in Murine Lungs

This video demonstrates an in vitro technique to identify immune cells residing in murine lungs. After isolating target immune cells from murine lung tissue, they are surface-labeled using a cocktail of fluorophore-tagged antibodies against specific markers on innate and adaptive immune cells. Additionally, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells are labeled using an intracellular marker. The various immune cell types are then identified using flow...

Neuromuscular Junction And Blockade

The site of chemical communication between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber is called the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). The end of the motor neuron at the NMJ divides into a cluster of synaptic end bulbs. The cytoplasm of these bulbs consists of synaptic vesicles enclosing acetylcholine molecules, the principal neurotransmitter released at the NMJ. The region opposite the synaptic bulb that ends in the muscle fiber is called the motor end plate, which has acetylcholine receptors. Within the...
