Analysis of DNA Fragmentation Using the JAM Assay. By Shailaja Kasibhatla et al., The JAM assay is based on labeling nuclear DNA of cycling cells with [3H]thymidine and harvesting samples on glass fiber filters. Apoptosis will generate DNA fragments small enough to pass through the glass fiber filter, resulting in decreased radioactivity of the particular sample. Cell-mediated cytotoxicity or cell killing mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) can also be measured by this technique. - [Read Analysis Of DNA Fragmentation Using The JAM Assay (Subscription Required)]

Category: Cell Biology and Cell Culture: Cell Cycle Protocols: S Phase Protocols

This protocol provides a method for synchronizing cells at the G1/S border using a double treatment of thymidine, which, in excess, is an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. Cells are treated once with excess thymidine to accumulate the majority of them at G1/S; however, some cells will have stopped growth within the S phase. - [Read G1/S Phase Synchronization using Double Thymidine Synchronization Protocol]

This protocol uses the plant amino acid mimosine as a G1/S synchronizing agent. Cells are first treated with excess thymidine to accumulate the majority of them at G1/S; however, some cells will have stopped growth within the S phase. Thymidine is then removed to allow all the cells to proceed completely through the S phase. Mimosine is then added to arrest the cells at the G1/S border. When mimosine is removed, cells will begin to enter S phase within about 1 hour. - [Read G1/S Phase Synchronization Using Mimosine Arrest Protocol]

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a established quantitative and noninvasive imaging modality. With the PET reporter gene (PRG)/PET reporter probe (PRP) system, based on a mutant form of herpes simplex virus 1 thymidine kinase (HSV1-sr39tk), the PET signal is directly proportional to the enzymatic activity of sr39TK9-14. In this protocol, we describe in detail a method for reporter gene labeling of islets and quantitative scanning using a reporter probe. - [Read In Vivo Functional Real-Time Imaging of Transplanted Islets Using Positron Emission Tomography (PET)]
