Optimization of in vivo confocal autofluorescence imaging of the ocular fundus in mice and its application to models of human retinal degeneration. by Charbel Issa, P, Singh, MS, Lipinski, D, Chong, V, Delori, F, Barnard, A, MacLaren, R

“… PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility and to identify sources of experimental variability of quantitative and qualitative fundus autofluorescence (AF) assessment in mice. METHODS: Blue (488 nm) and near-infrared (790 nm) fundus AF imaging was performed in various mouse strains and disease models (129S2, C57Bl/6, Abca4(-/-), C3H-Pde6b(rd1/rd1), Rho(-/-), and BALB/c mice) using a commercially available scanning laser ophthalmoscope. …”

Combined Fundus Autofluorescence and Near Infrared Reflectance as Prognostic Biomarkers for Visual Acuity in Foveal-Sparing Geographic Atrophy by Lindner, M, Nadal, J, Mauschitz, M, Lüning, A, Czauderna, J, Pfau, M, Schmitz-Valckenberg, S, Holz, F, Schmid, M, Fleckenstein, M

“…<br/><br/> Methods: Best corrected visual acuity (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study charts); serial fundus autofluorescence; and near-infrared reflectance images of patients participating in the FAM (NCT00393692) and DSGA (NCT02051998) studies were analyzed. …”

The drusenlike phenotype in aging Ccl2-knockout mice is caused by an accelerated accumulation of swollen autofluorescent subretinal macrophages. by Luhmann, U, Robbie, S, Munro, P, Barker, SE, Duran, Y, Luong, V, Fitzke, F, Bainbridge, J, Ali, R, Maclaren, R

“…RESULTS: The drusenlike lesions of Ccl2(-/-) mice comprised accelerated accumulation of swollen CD68(+), F4/80(+) macrophages in the subretinal space that were apparent as autofluorescent foci on AF-SLO. These macrophages contained pigment granules and phagosomes with outer segment and lipofuscin inclusions that may account for their autofluorescence. …”

Autofluorescence microscopy for paired-matched morphological and molecular identification of individual chigger mites (Acari: Trombiculidae), the vectors of scrub typhus. by Rawadee Kumlert, Kittipong Chaisiri, Tippawan Anantatat, Alexandr A Stekolnikov, Serge Morand, Anchana Prasartvit, Benjamin L Makepeace, Sungsit Sungvornyothin, Daniel H Paris

“…Conventional gold standard characterization of chigger mites involves chemical preparation procedures (i.e. specimen clearing) for visualization of morphological features, which however contributes to destruction of the arthropod host DNA and any endosymbiont or pathogen DNA harbored within the specimen.In this study, a novel work flow based on autofluorescence microscopy was developed to enable identification of trombiculid mites to the species level on the basis of morphological traits without any special preparation, while preserving the mite DNA for subsequent genotyping. …”
