Research Abstract |
We examined how ectopic AQP1, which increased at the development of hydrocephalus, influenced the hydrocephalus formation using the kaolin-induced hydrocephalus model in rat by RNAi knockdown. As the preparation, production of rabbit anti-AQP1 serum suitable for a Western blot was successful and the arrangement of siRNA suitable for knockdown was found out. However, the suitable method of the injection for in vivo RNAi could not establish within this period, so it remains as a future subject.
