In Vivo Analysis of Glial Immune Responses to Axon Degeneration in Drosophila melanogaster.
Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)(2020)
摘要
Axon degeneration elicits a range of immune responses from local glial cells, including striking changes in glial gene expression, morphology, and phagocytic activity. Here, we describe a detailed set of protocols to assess discrete components of the glial reaction to axotomy in the adult nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster. These methods allow one to visualize and quantify transcriptional, morphological, and functional responses of glia to degenerating axons in a model system that is highly amenable to genetic manipulation.
