How Microelectrode Array-Based Chick Forebrain Neuron Biosensors Respond to Glutamate

Abstract

We have set up a long haul, stable essential chick forebrain neuron (FBN) culture on a microelectrode array platform as a biosensor system forneurotoxicant
screening and forneuro electrophysiological contemplates for multiple purposes. This paper reports a portion of our outcomes, which portray the biosensor
pharmacologically. Portion response tests were directed utilizing NMDA receptor enemy AP5 and GABAA receptor agonist musimol(MUS). The chick FBN biosensor (C-FBN-biosensor) reacts to the two specialists in an example like that of ro-scratch partners; the assessed EC50s (the viable fixation that causes half restraint of the maximal effect) are 2.3 μM and 0.25 μM, individually. Intercultural and intracultural reproducibility and long-term reusability of the C-FBN-biosensor are tended to and examined. A wonder of refinement of the biosensor that goes with intracultural reproducibility in combined portion reaction tests for a similar specialist (AP5 or MUS) is accounted for. The possible utilization of the C-FBN-biosensor as an option in contrast to rat biosensors in shared detecting spaces (NMDA receptor and GABAA receptor) is recommended.
