Ensaio de pontos leves: um método para investigar o comportamento fototático Drosophila

Abstract

Fonte: Sun, Y., et al. Light Spot-Based Assay for Analysis of Drosophila Larval Phototaxis. J. Vis. Exp. (2019).

As larvas de drosophila são sensíveis à luz e respondem a mudanças na luz circundante. Este vídeo descreve um ensaio que testa sua capacidade de evitar a luz, chamado de ensaio de ponto de luz. O protocolo em destaque demonstra como configurar o ensaio com um LED de luz azul e mostra como registrar o comportamento do animal em resposta ao encontro de luz.

Protocol

Este texto protocolar é um trecho de Sun et al., Light Spot-Based Assay for Analysis of Drosophila Larval Phototaxis, J. Vis. Exp. (2019). 1. Configuração do sistema de imagem Aperte uma câmera web de alta resolução com um clipe de ferro, a cerca de 10 cm acima do ponto de luz na área de trabalho(Figura 1). Ajuste a orientação da lente da câmera em direção à área de trabalho. Conecte a câmera a um comp…

Representative Results

Figura 1: Configuração experimental. (A) Representação esquemática da configuração para o ensaio de fototaxis rápidos larval à base de luz. As linhas azuis representam os caminhos da luz visível usado como estimulação visual, e as linhas vermelhas representam os caminhos da luz infravermelha. As setas indicam a direção da luz. O filtro de passe de banda de 850 nm permite que a luz infraverme…
