  • Publication number: 20240377292
    Abstract: Provided are a clearing and expansion method and an imaging method for biological tissue. The clearing and expansion method for biological tissue comprises: (1) degreasing a fixed biological tissue sample; (2) soaking the degreased biological tissue sample in a solution of gel monomer molecules, such that the monomer molecules permeate into the degreased biological tissue sample; (3) inducing a polymerization reaction of the monomer molecules permeating into the biological tissue sample so as to form a polymer gel; and (4) placing the biological tissue sample which has been subjected to a gelation treatment into water for expansion. The clearing and expansion method for biological tissue avoids the sample treatment steps of heating and enzymatic digestion that cause fluorescent quenching and the destruction of biological tissue, and thus has the advantages of high retention of endogenous fluorescent proteins, high mechanical strength of expanded biological tissue, a short sample treatment time, etc.

  • Publication number: 20240344939
    Abstract: A degreasing composition for clearing biological tissue, a use in the preparation of a degreasing reagent, a degreasing reagent, a clearing kit comprising the degreasing composition or the degreasing reagent, a biological tissue clearing treatment method using the degreasing reagent, and an imaging method for clearing biological tissue comprising the steps of the biological tissue clearing treatment method. The degreasing composition comprises urea, N-butyldiethanolamine and Triton X-100, wherein the mass ratio of urea, N-butyldiethanolamine and Triton X-100 is (0.6-5):(0.3-3):1. The degreasing composition has a fast degreasing speed, good degreasing capabilities for large-volume biological samples, and may retain the structural features of biological tissues well from the cellular level to the subcellular level.
