Compound preparation and delivery – Diphtheria toxin:

Diphtheria toxin (DT) (Product #150, List Biological Laboratories, Inc., Campbell, CA) was
administered in a single, 300uL i.p. injection of 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10, or 25 ng total DT. Control
NSG-DTR mice (PBS) were treated with an equal volume of 1X PBS (Sigma, St. Louis, MO).
All animals in a cohort (with human islets from the same human donor) were injected with DT or
PBS on the same day. …

… We used cholera toxin B subunit (CTb) as a retrograde tracer to identify neurons in the vBNST with direct efferent projections to the VTA. Rats were anesthetized with ketamine and xylazine and placed in a stereotaxic frame. Heat-sterilized Hamilton syringes were used to pressure inject 0.2 µl biotinylated CTb (List Biological Laboratories) unilaterally into the VTA over a 10 min period (posterior to bregma 5.6 mm, lateral 2.6 mm, ventral 8.6 mm; Paxinos and Watson, 2006). Syringes were left in place for 20 min after injections and slowly removed from the brain over a 10 min period. …

… In vivo transport assays were performed in 6 months old WT (n=4) and -adducin KO (n=4) mice. Mice were anesthetized with ketamine (75 mg/kg) and medetomidine (1 mg/kg) and analgesia with buprenorphine (0.08 mg/kg) was done prior to the cirurgical procedure. Eyes were wet with local optic anesthetic (1 drop per eye). Injection was performed intravitreously in a 45°C angle with a 30-33 gauge needle syringe with 2 µl of the 0.1% cholera toxin subunit conjugated with Alexa Fluor 568 (List Biological Laboratories) with a rate of 1 µl per 15 seconds, at most. …

Dorsal column injury:

Three days before perfusion, animals (Fisher rats) in the 8-week time point after dorsal root injury and in the dorsal column injury group received 3 µl of 1% cholera toxin B (CTB) (103B, List Laboratories, Inc., Campbell, CA) into the sciatic nerve to transganglionically label dorsal root and dorsal column axons.

Spinal Cord Injections:

Layer V corticospinal motor neurons were labeled by stereotaxic injection of cholera toxin B subunit (CTB), a retrograde neuronal tracer, into the cervical enlargement at C5 of 5 month-old CD1 mice….and 500 nL of CTB tracer (6.67 g per l, List Biological Labs) was injected into the right dorsal corticospinal tract (dCST)⁵⁴. CTB infusion progressed at 0.2 mL per min through a glass micropipette connected by special adapters and high pressure tubing to a 10 mL Hamilton syringe….Cervical cord was cryosectioned at 40m and for dCST injection site verification by CTB immunofluorescence (Goat anti-CTB, List Biological Labs Product #703).
