Protocol for whole-mount preparation, clearing, and visualization of the adult zebrafish spinal cord structures
Summary: The vascular repair, a pivotal element of the spinal cord (SC) injury response, has been notably neglected in zebrafish research. Here, we detail the extraction and dissection of whole-mount zebrafish SCs and the optimized whole-mount immunofluorescence staining and clearing protocols for t...

| Summary: | Summary: The vascular repair, a pivotal element of the spinal cord (SC) injury response, has been notably neglected in zebrafish research. Here, we detail the extraction and dissection of whole-mount zebrafish SCs and the optimized whole-mount immunofluorescence staining and clearing protocols for the visualization of SC structures, such as the vascular network. Additional downstream applications of these samples, from gelatin embedding to cryosectioning and tissue staining, can be done after clearing reversion and are also described in this work.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ribeiro et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics. |
