Glass is an excellent substrate for most tissue-culture-adapted cells and is compatible with all fixing and staining solutions. Glass coverslips in tissue-culture dishes or in 24-well multiwell plates are suitable carriers, as are multiwell slides. For high-resolution studies, choose glass coverslips of the highest available grade; #1 or #1.5 coverslips are the appropriate thickness. - [Read Growing Adherent Cells on Coverslips or Multiwell Slides Protocol]
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.
