项目摘要

The Cell Morphology Core (CMC) supports the grant members with all aspects of histology-related work necessary to accomplish their research goals. The core is directed by Dr. Peter Bell and is housed in 800 square feet of dedicated space. It owns all the equipment necessary to process tissues and cells for a wide array of histological analyses. This includes several fluorescence microscopes, a transmission electron microscope, microtomes, an ultramicrotome, several cryostats, and automated tissue processing equipment. For tissue analysis at the light microscope level, paraffin, frozen and plastic-embedded samples are used. Routine and special stains as well as the detection of reporter gene expression in tissues (GFP, LacZ) are performed regularly. Further techniques include immunostaining, in situ hybridization, apoptosis and cell proliferation assays. Immunostaining is performed with fluorescent or enzyme-labeled antibodies, using all the appropriate positive and negative controls. In situ hybridization for identification of transduced cells or the detection of viruses uses labeled DMA or RNA probes. Images can be acquired by widefield or confocal microscopy and analyzed with Image-Pro Plus and AnalySIS software, quantifying the degree of staining for any target. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is performed to evaluate tissue samples at an ultrastructural level. For vector analysis, negative staining of viral preparations is applied for EM analysis. Viral vectors are assessed for average density, purity, uniformity and viral particle integrity. Contaminations in adenovirus preparations with AAV (and vice versa) are detectable due to the difference in size of both viruses. Investigators can also receive training in histological techniques and microscopy allowing them to perform their own analyses by utilizing the core's resources.

细胞形态学核心（CMC）支持赠款成员与组织学相关工作的各个方面以实现他们的研究目标。核心是由彼得贝尔博士和被安置在800 平方英尺的专用空间。它拥有所有必要的设备来处理组织和细胞，一系列组织学分析。这包括几个荧光显微镜，一个透射电子显微镜，显微镜、切片机、超薄切片机、几个低温恒温器和自动组织处理设备。对于光学显微镜水平的组织分析，使用石蜡、冷冻和塑料包埋样品。常规和特殊染色以及组织中报告基因表达的检测（GFP，LacZ）定期执行。进一步的技术包括免疫染色、原位杂交、细胞凋亡和细胞凋亡。增殖测定。免疫染色是用荧光或酶标记的抗体进行的，使用所有适当的阳性和阴性对照。原位杂交用于鉴定转导细胞或病毒的检测使用标记的DNA或RNA探针。图像可以通过宽视场或共焦获得用显微镜观察并用Image-Pro Plus和AnalySIS软件分析，定量染色程度，任何目标。进行透射电子显微镜（TEM）以在超微结构水平上评价组织样品。对于载体分析，将病毒制剂的负染色应用于EM分析。病毒载体是评估平均密度、纯度、均匀度和病毒颗粒完整性。腺病毒污染由于两种病毒大小的差异，含有AAV的制备物（反之亦然）是可检测的。调查人员还可以接受组织学技术和显微镜方面的培训，他们自己的分析通过利用核心的资源。
