Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aimed to introduce calcium-sensitive fluorescent protein into the spinal dorsal horn and/or dorsal root ganglia (DRG) using adeno-associated virus vector (AAV) to measure the neural activity in the spinal dorsal horn two-dimensionally. We found that the AAV vector inoculated intrathecal cavity seemed to express TurboRFP, which is a marker protein, both in the spinal cord dorsal horn and DRG 1 to 2 weeks after administration. However, due to limitations of immunohistological techniques, we could not be confirmed that the transgene-derived protein was definitely expressed in spinal dorsal horn and DRG. Therefore, it did not reach the result of the physiological experiment that was planned ahead.
