Abstract
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a valuable tool in clinical and biological research for evaluating proteins and other antigens in spatially bound tissue. In neuroinflammatory pain research, primary afferent neurons of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) are studied to understand molecular signaling mechanisms involved in nociception (pain) and inflammation. Measuring IHC immunofluorescence in DRG neurons require manual hand tracing of nuclear and somatic boundaries, which is laborious, error-prone, and can require several weeks to collect the appropriate sample size with a mouse or pen-input display monitor. To overcome these limitations and increase standardization of sampling and measurement, we employed a reliable neuronal cytoplasmic reporter (NeuN), exclusive to DRG neuronal soma and nuclei, in a semi-automated algorithm-based approach of Image Cytometry in rat Dorsal Root Ganglion (ICDRGs).
