Mouse embryos E16 injection with BrdU
Goal
- Assesment of BrdU-labeled cells' migration during undisturbed ontogenesis
- To be co-immunostained for BrdU and nestin
Animals
Mothers
rl115a - 34.4g
Embryos
Materials
- BrdU solution: 5mg/ml in saline with 0.007 N NaOH (i.e. dilute 2N NaOH 286x). NaOH usually unnecessary.
Procedure
Protocol follows the original experiment [1]. BrdU injected to a pregnant mother:
- dose 50µg/g
- single injection labels during period extending from 15min to at least 2hr
i.e. total volume to be prepared 2x.39 = 0.78mL. Make 1000µL from 1 * 5mg = 5mg
Injection regime:
34g and -> inj'd 0.34mL-45'-0.34mL
