T cell hybridomas can be obtained by fusing activated T cells with tumor cells. A heterogeneous population of hybridomas can be cloned by limiting dilution to obtain hybridomas that express specificity to one T cell receptor (TCR). Protocol describes cell fusion and selection of T cell hybridomas. A protocol is provided for screening of T cell hybridomas for expression of the CD3-TCR complex by flow cytometry analysis. - [Read Production of Mouse T Cell Hybridomas Protocol]
Laboratory sample cleanup is a necessary part for analytical preparation analysis. The removal of Contaminants such as proteins, cell debris and other materials is an important step. Typically this has been done by using Acetonitrile and then Centrifugation to pellet the debris leaving the clean supernant. After this process supernatant can be used for further analysis by HPLC, GC, MS and other analysis tandem methods. HTS Labs. - [Read Protein Precipitation Microplate]

Detection of phosphorylated tyrosine residues can be performed using anti-P-TYR Ab and Western Analysis.Includes 2nd method,which uses phosphotyrosine in conjunction with anti-P-TYR Ab to "unlabel" potential proteins.By comparing Westerns developed with the 1st method(reveals phosphorylated protein) and the 2nd method(reveals non-specific labeling), a more accurate picture of those proteins phosphorylated on tyrosine can be seen. Includes: Protein Preparation, Electrophoresis and Transfer. - [Read Protocol for Antiphosphotyrosine Western Blot Analysis]
Protocol describes a useful way to observe the development of embryos, as well as meristems & young primordia developing at the shoot apex by confocal microscopy after staining the nuclei with propidium iodide. The number of cells can be exactly quantified in a meristem or in young primordia. Because embryonic & meristematic cells are largely filled out by their nuclei, it is easier to image only the nuclei. This method allows analysis of whole-mount material, which is more easily reconstructed. - [Read Protocol for Nuclear Staining of Plants for Confocal Microscopy]

This protocol uses a "light mitochondrial" pellet from a mammalian liver homogenate. The gradient thus has to resolve a variety of denser components (peroxisomes, lysosomes, mitochondria) from the Golgi membranes, which have a low density in iodixanol (1.06-1.09 g/ml) [1]. The protocol is
specifically tailored to the purification of Golgi membranes from this pellet and is unsuitable for the isolation or analysis of other organelles present in the light mitochondrial fraction. - [Read Purification of Golgi Membranes from a Light Mitochondrial Fraction in a Self-Generated Gradient]
Protocol details the purification and analysis of many synthetic peptides of 2-65 amino acid residues. These peptides contain a number of ionizable or polar side chains, but do not contain secondary structural elements (such as ß-sheets) that favor supramolecular assembly. - [Read Purification of Peptides from Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis with RP-HPLC Protocol]
Protocol for quantification of DNA methylation in electrofluidics chips. Describe Bio-COBRA, a modified protocol for Combined Bisulfite Restriction Analysis (COBRA), that incorporates an electrophoresis step in microfluidics chips. Microfluidics technology involves the handling of small amounts of liquid in miniaturized systems. - [Read Quantification of DNA Methylation in Electrofluidics Chips Protocol]
Protocol for quick DNA plasmid prep. This is a very fast mini-prep protocol which is suitable for sequence analysis and restriction digests. - [Read Quick DNA Plasmid Prep. Protocol]
Protocol uses FAM-(6-carboxy-fluorescein) or JOE-(6-carboxy-4', 5' -dichloro-2',7' -dimethoxy-fluorescein) labeled LUX (Light Upon eXtension) primers, which can quantify 100 or fewer copies of the target DNA in a background of nonspecific templates, over a broad dynamic range of less than 100-107 copies. It uses uracil deglycosylase (UDG) to minimize the risk of carryover contamination, and includes a melting curve analysis of the product. - [Read Real-Time PCR Protocol]
Protocol is the second in a set of three, describing fluorescent mRNA differential display (FDD or FDDRT-PCR). For the purposes of FDD gene expression analysis, as well as any other RNA-based gene expression technologies, contaminating genomic DNA must be removed before reverse transcription and subsequent PCR. - [Read Removal of Genomic DNA from Total RNA for Use in Fluorescent mRNA Differential Display Protocol]
Protocol for RNA preparation from cultured cells or tissue samples. This protocol has been used to isolate RNA from relatively small tissue samples. The RNA is clean enough for Rnase protection, cDNA synthesis, and RT-PCR analysis. - [Read RNA Preparation from Cultured Cells or Tissue Samples Protocol]
In Vitro Translated Xenopus Mos Kinase Assay Protocol. In response to progesterone, immature Xenopus oocytes mature to eggs that can be fertilized. The Mos protein kinase is essential for oocyte maturation, most likely due to its ability to activate the MAP kinase cascade. This MAP kinase cascade eventually leads to the activation of Cdc2/cyclin B and entry into M phase. In this protocol, tagged Mos kinase is translated in vitro, immunopurified, and used in a kinase assay.
Unlike spherical phage, such as T4 and λ, which have roughly equal weight ratios of protein to DNA, filamentous phage have about six times more protein than DNA; the protein therefore contributes substantially to the absorption spectrum.
3' Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends RACE Using PCR Protocol. This protocol contains the steps for 3' end rapid amplification of mRNA by PCR. The first-strand cDNA is synthesized from total or poly(A+) RNA by priming from the poly-A tail of the mRNA using a oligo (dT) adaptor primer. The cDNA is then amplified via PCR using a gene-specific primer and an adaptor primer.
This protocol a protocol on how to generate transfected embryonic stem (ES) cell clones. The previous protocol in this series is the Protocol for Electroporation of ES cells. The next protocol in the series is the Protocol on Disaggregation, Expansion, and Freezing of Transfected ES Clones.
The protocol gives general considerations for the design of targeting vectors for transgenic mice. The protocol shares tips in the design of knock-out and knock-in vectors and some of their strategies for producing homologously recombined embryonic stem cells.
