The protocols described here refer to Hyden's technique of isolation and microdissection of vestibular Deiters' neurons from adult mammals. The isolation of Deiters' cells from bovine is described and an example is given of the immunocytochemical visualization of their GABA(A) receptors by monoclonal antibodies against the beta(2/3) subunit. In addition, the protocol of the method for isolation of Deiters' cells from adult rabbit brain stem, the preparation of their plasma membranes and the study of their permeability characteristics is presented. Also in this case, examples of its application to the determination of chloride permeability and its modulation by GABA are given.

Abstract
The protocols described here refer to Hyden's technique of isolation and microdissection of vestibular Deiters' neurons from adult mammals. The isolation of Deiters' cells from bovine is described and an example is given of the immunocytochemical visualization of their GABA(A) receptors by monoclonal antibodies against the beta(2/3) subunit. In addition, the protocol of the method for isolation of Deiters' cells from adult rabbit brain stem, the preparation of their plasma membranes and the study of their permeability characteristics is presented. Also in this case, examples of its application to the determination of chloride permeability and its modulation by GABA are given.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
