Abstract
Here, we present a detailed protocol for the detection of activated caspase-8 in axotomized axons of the whole-mounted lamprey spinal cord. This method is based on the use of fluorochrome -labeled inhibitors of caspases (FLICA) in ex vivo tissue. We offer a very convenient vertebrate model to study the retrograde degeneration of descending pathways after spinal cord injury.Entities:
