Fluorescent probes that stain living nerve terminals
L Magrassi, D Purves and JW Lichtman
We have evaluated the efficacy of 18 cationic mitochondrial dyes that, as a
class, show some ability to stain living nerve terminals. Several of these
agents provide excellent staining of neuromuscular junctions in a wide
range of species. More detailed studies of the most effective of these
dyes--4-(4-diethylaminostyryl)-N-methylpyridinium iodide (4-Di-
2-ASP)--indicate that it has no lasting effect on the structure or function
of motor nerve terminals. As demonstrated in the accompanying paper
(Lichtman et al., 1987; see also Lichtman et al., 1986), 4-Di-2- ASP can
therefore be used to follow the configuration of identified motor terminals
over arbitrarily long intervals.
