<p class="jove_content">본 연구의 경우 동물 실험은 UCSF Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee의 승인을 받았으며 NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals에 따라 수행되었습니다. 성체, 8-12주 된 C57BL/6 수컷 및 암컷 마우스(자체 사육)를 여기에 사용하였다.</p>
<p class="jove_title"><strong>1. DRG 시료 전처리</strong></p>
<ol><li>2.5% 아베르틴으로 마우스를 마취합니다(<strong>재료 표</strong> 참조). 고통스러운 자극에 대한 반응 부족으로 적절한 마취를 보장합니다. 앞서 기술한<sup class="xref">바와</sup> 같이 1x 인산염-완충 식염수(PBS)에 이어 4% 포름알데히드를 동물에 심 경관류한다 14,15,16.<sup></sup><sup class="xref"></sup><sup></sup><sup class="xref"></sup></li>

	<li>해부된 DRG를 실온에서 3시간 동안 4% 포름알데히드에 사후 고정합니다.</li>
	<li>DRG를 PBS의 30% 자당에 넣고 밤새 4°C에서 가열합니다.</li>
	<li>베이스 최적 절삭 온도(OCT) 준비<ol><li>OCT 화합물( <strong>재료 표</strong> 참조)을 추가하여 알루미늄 블록의 상단 표면을 덮고 -20°C에서 5-10분 동안 얼립니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 1A</strong>).</li>
		<li>표면이 기본 OCT처럼 평평해질 때까지 30μm 두께의 저온 유지 장치( <strong>재료 표</strong> 참조)를 사용하여 OCT의 상단을 잘라냅니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 1B</strong>).</li>
		<li>저온 유지 장치에서 알루미늄 블록을 제거하기 전에 기본 OCT의 하단(6시 위치)에 표시를 하여 방향을 표시합니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 1C</strong>).</li>
		<li>다음 단계에서는 동일한 방향을 유지하기 위해 표시를 6시 위치에 유지하여 DRG 샘플의 더 많은 섹션을 얻을 수 있습니다.<br>참고: 방향이 손실되고 DRG 샘플이 다른 각도로 절단되면 DRG 샘플을 위에서 아래로 완전히 절단할 수 없으므로 DRG 샘플을 절단하려고 시도하는 동안 기본 OCT가 발생하기 때문에 일부 샘플이 기본 OCT에 남겨져 낭비됩니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 1C</strong>).</li>
	</ol></li>
	<li>DRG의 OCT 임베딩 수행<ol><li>OCT에 바르기 전에 DRG 조직을 건조시키십시오.<ol><li>DRG를 블록에 추가하기 전에 샘플 주변의 30% 자당/PBS 용액을 제거해야 합니다.</li>

		<li>OCT로 DRG 조직을 삽입합니다.<ol><li>OCT를 더 추가하여 DRG가 중앙에 오도록 전체 DRG 샘플을 원형 또는 타원형으로 덮습니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 1E</strong>).</li>
			<li>OCT의 상단 가장자리가 베이스 OCT의 상단 가장자리에 있는 DRG를 덮도록 합니다(그림 <strong class="xfig">1F</strong>). 이렇게 하면 섹션을 유리 슬라이드로 쉽게 옮길 수 있습니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 3A</strong>).<br>참고: 덮개 OCT가 베이스 OCT의 중간에 있는 경우 베이스 OCT의 위쪽 가장자리가 유리 슬라이드를 막아 섹션을 모을 수 있습니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 3B</strong>).</li>
			<li>덮개 OCT 및 DRG 샘플을 -20°C에서 5분 더 얼립니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 1G</strong>). DRG 샘플 주위의 OCT를 트리밍하지 마십시오.</li>

	<li>-20 °C로 냉각된 작은 붓으로 바닥의 OCT 섹션을 잡습니다.<br>알림: 전체 섹션을 완전히 자르지 말고 1-3mm를 자르지 않은 상태로 두는 것이 중요합니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 1I</strong>).</li>
	<li>실온 핀셋 끝을 사용하여 섹션의 바닥(6시 위치)을 부드럽게 터치하여 플랫폼 표면에 달라붙도록 합니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 1J</strong>). 이렇게 하면 단면이 롤에서 뒤로 구부러지는 것을 방지하여 슬라이드에서 단면을 수집하기 어렵게 만듭니다.<br>참고: 섹션의 하단이 플랫폼 표면에 달라붙고 섹션의 상단이 여전히 커버 OCT와 연결되면 섹션이 평평한 모양이 되므로(<strong class="xfig">그림 1K</strong>) 슬라이드에서 섹션을 훨씬 쉽게 수집할 수 있습니다.</li>
	<li>충전된 유리 슬라이드( <strong>재료 표</strong> 참조)를 가져다가 슬라이드를 섹션 위에 천천히 놓습니다. 섹션이 슬라이드에 달라붙기 시작하면 슬라이드를 뒤로 부드럽게 당깁니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 1L</strong>).</li>
	<li>동일한 프로세스를 수행하여 섹션이 겹치지 않고 더 많은 DRG 섹션을 슬라이드에 가져옵니다(<strong class="xfig">그림 1M</strong>). 새 DRG 절편이 다른 DRG 절편의 OCT 위에 놓이지 않도록 하십시오(<strong class="xfig">그림 4</strong>).</li>

	<p>In this part of the lab, you&#39;ll purify acetanilide by recrystallization from an aqueous solution. Acetanilide is moderately soluble in boiling water, but it&#39;s much less soluble in room temperature and cold water. Aniline, a potential impurity, is much more soluble in room temperature water. Thus, you&#39;ll first make a saturated solution of acetanilide in boiling water. Then, you&#39;ll slowly cool the solution to room temperature.</p>
	<p>As the acetanilide&#39;s solubility decreases, it will slowly form flat colorless or white crystals. Water-soluble impurities will remain in solution. You will then cool the solution to further decrease the solubility of acetanilide. Finally, you&#39;ll recover the crystals with vacuum filtration and measure the melting point of your crystals.</p>

	<p>Density is a measure of how compact a substance or object is, and it is calculated as mass divided by volume. When a dense object is placed in a liquid with a lower density, the object sinks; when the object is less dense than the liquid, it floats. When the densities are the same, the object will be suspended in the liquid. In this experiment, we&#39;ll determine the density of an egg by creating a solution with the same density. We&#39;ll measure the density of the salt solution using different volume measurement glassware and determine which is the most accurate.</p>

	<p>In this experiment, you will be assembling an electrolytic cell to perform electroplating. An electrolytic cell contains an anode and cathode connected by a power source, which drives the nonspontaneous redox reaction in the cell. When the anode material is oxidized, the ions travel to the cathode, where they are reduced and plated.</p>
	<p>In the case of this experiment, the electrolytic cell contains a copper anode and a brass key for the cathode. Oxidation of the anode creates copper(2+) ions, which are then reduced on the brass key, forming a thin plating of solid copper.</p>

NOTE: You will perform crosses using these flies to determine if red or white eyes is dominant and if the trait is sex-linked.

</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-8"><div class="lab-step">If there are any male flies in the female vial, obtain a new vial as these females likely have sperm from males from their own strain and are unusable.

Assuming all of the females were homozygous for the color allele, does this match your data for the first cross?
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="2-5"><div class="lab-step">If white were dominant and the gene were sex-linked, we would see the exact opposite. So all of the flies would have white eyes. From your data, can you conclude from your first cross whether red or white is dominant?

Did your second cross produce any white-eyed females?
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="2-7"><div class="lab-step">Finally, if the gene were x-linked and white was dominant, crossing white-eyed females with red-eyed males would result in all of the offspring having white eyes. Does this hypothesis fit with your second cross?

<button class="expand">Expand</button><ul class="lab-items"><li data-sub-note-item="2-1"><div class="lab-step">NOTE: Before cells can pass through all of the stages of the cell cycle there are several checkpoints they must go through. These checkpoints are regulated by cyclin and cyclin-dependent kinase proteins, or CDKs. If the cyclins and CDKs determine that previous cellular events have not been adequately completed they will arrest the cells at this step and prevent them from proliferating. In cancer cells one or several of these molecular restraints for regulating cell division are lost and this allows the damaged cells to escape from cell proliferation control. These abnormal cells develop into tumors which are masses of uncontrolled proliferating cells that interfere with the normal functions of the body. Notice how before it divides this cancer cell rounds up and refracts light very strongly under the light microscope. This is because not all cancer cells successfully divide into daughter cells after each round of mitosis. This will mean that they often contain an excess of organelles and DNA and this increase in cellular content means they will refract light more intensely than normal cells do.

The null hypothesis is that <em>Drosophila</em> will have no preference with regard to either stimulus and will move randomly in the chamber.  Use an individual disposable plastic pipette to dispense two drops of the apple cider vinegar onto one cotton ball for side A of the chamber.

<button class="expand">Expand</button><ul class="lab-items"><li data-sub-note-item="1-1"><div class="lab-step">In this experiment you will prepare different types of cells from a plant and animal, onion and human respectively, and then visualize them under a microscope. HYPOTHESES: The experimental hypothesis is that the cells will appear different in overall shape and membrane structure, but there will be some shared similar structures, like nuclei, in both cells. The null hypothesis of the experiment is that there will be no difference in structure between the two cell types.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-2"><div class="lab-step">First, to prepare an animal cell slide, start by pouring 30 mL of distilled water into a beaker.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-3"><div class="lab-step">Then, use a glass dropper to place 2 - 3 drops of the water onto the center of a clean microscope slide.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-4"><div class="lab-step">Next, take a clean toothpick and scrape the inside of your cheek to gather cells.  CAUTION: Do not scrape your cheeks too aggressively. The scraping should not cause discomfort or bleeding. 
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-5"><div class="lab-step">Put the end of the toothpick with the cheek cells onto the wetted area of the slide and mix the water and cheek cells together.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-6"><div class="lab-step">Next, add two drops of methylene blue staining solution to the wetted area of the slide and mix it in with a clean toothpick.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-7"><div class="lab-step">Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 3 minutes.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-8"><div class="lab-step">After 3 minutes have passed, use a glass dropper to add a drop of glycerol to the mixture.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-9"><div class="lab-step">Carefully, place a cover slip over the mix on the slide by first standing one end of the cover slip vertically and aligning it along to one side of the mixture. Then, carefully lower the other end of the cover slip down until the mixture is completely covered.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-10"><div class="lab-step">Finally, remove any excess liquid with blotting paper.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-11"><div class="lab-step">Next, prepare a slide of plant cells by placing five drops of distilled water into a clean watch glass.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-12"><div class="lab-step">Then, with forceps, take a thin strip of onion and place it into the water.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-13"><div class="lab-step">Apply 5 drops of safranin solution to another watch glass.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-14"><div class="lab-step">Now using a pair of forceps transfer the piece of onion from the distilled water into the safranin.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-15"><div class="lab-step">Allow the onion to soak for 30 seconds.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-16"><div class="lab-step">Then, again with forceps, move the onion back into the distilled water.

</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-19"><div class="lab-step">Gently place a cover slip over the onion on the slide and blot away any excess liquid with a piece of blotting paper.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-20"><div class="lab-step">Next, you will visualize the slides you have prepared using a compound microscope. First, turn on the scope and set the objective lens to the lowest level of magnification.  NOTE: A compound microscope typically has two levels of magnification.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-21"><div class="lab-step">Place the cheek tissue slide onto the stage of the microscope and bring the cells into focus by adjusting the stage and using the coarse adjustment knob.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-22"><div class="lab-step">When the cells are in focus, observe the individual cells and draw what you see. Repeat these observations at medium and high magnifications adjusting the focus with the fine adjustment knob. IMPORTANT: Do NOT use the coarse adjustment knob at high magnifications. 
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-23"><div class="lab-step">Next, rotate the nose piece so that the oil lens is almost in place.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-24"><div class="lab-step">Place a drop of immersion oil on top of the cover slip of the cheek cell slide.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-25"><div class="lab-step">Use the oil lens to view the cheek cells and record your observations.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-26"><div class="lab-step">Repeat these steps to view the onion plant cell, moving again from low to medium, high, and oil lenses (steps 20 &#8211; 24).
