Light Spot Assay: En metod för att undersöka Drosophila fototaktiskt beteende

Abstract

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

Drosophila larver är ljuskänsliga och svarar på förändringar i omgivande ljus. Den här videon beskriver en analys som testar deras förmåga att undvika ljus, så kallad light spot-analys. Det presenterade protokollet visar hur man ställer in analysen med en blåljuslampa och visar hur man registrerar djurets beteende som svar på ljusmötet.

Protocol

Denna protokolltext är ett utdrag från Sun et al., Light Spot-Based Assay for Analysis of Drosophila Larval Phototaxis, J. Vis. Exp. (2019). 1. Inrättande av bildsystemet Kläm fast en högupplöst webbkamera med ett järnklämma, ca 10 cm ovanför ljuspunkten på skrivbordet (Bild 1). Justera kameralinsens orientering mot skrivbordet. Anslut kameran till en dator via ett USB-gränssnitt. Placera en agar…

Representative Results

Figur 1: Experimentellt uppförande. A)Schematisk återgivning av uppsättningen för den ljuspunktsbaserade larvbaserade snabbfototaxisanalysen. De blå linjerna representerar banor av synligt ljus som används som visuell stimulering, och de röda linjerna representerar banor för infrarött ljus. Pilarna anger ljusets riktning. 850 nm bandpassfiltret tillåter infrarött ljus att passera, men det block…
