Assays for chemotaxis behavior in neuronal Aβ-expressing strain CL2355. (A) Schematic diagram of the chemotaxis assay. Plates were divided into quadrants two test (A&D) and two controls (B&C). Sodium azide was also included with the attractant and control odorant to paralyze worms. Worms were placed at the center of the plate and after 60 min worms were counted on each quadrant. Schematic examples of neutral and attractant are indicated. (B) The Chemotactic Index (CI) in the neuronal strain CL2355 and the transgenic control strain CL2122 fed with vehicle or different concentration of SVHRP (2, 20, 40 μg/ml). Data were obtained from three experiments with 60 worms in each group. Error bars indicate SD (∗∗p < 0.01 vs. CL2355 control group).
