fluorescent labeling methods that can be used with 3DISCO to image non-transgenic animals such as rats (17).

methods, in which tumours are identified with the aid of
fluorescent labels.
The group employed various viral tracing
methods — infecting receptor - expressing neurons with a virus strain and watching them spread as they
label infected cells with a
fluorescent protein — to visualize the neural circuit downstream of the ESP1 receptor, as well as providing an image of nerve fibers belonging to specific neurons in the brain and synapses relaying impulses from neuron to neuron, to map the anatomical foundation that conveys ESP1 signals in the brain.

fluorescent labeling of recombinant chemokines.
