Use of the chemiluminescence-producing alkaline phosphatase substrate 3-(4-methoxyspiro[1,2-dioxetane-3,2'-tricyclo-[3.3.1.1(3,7)]decan]-4-yl)phenyl phosphate (AMPPD, also known as adamantyl-1,2-dioxetane phosphate), or its dioxetane relatives provides a substantial increase in sensitivity over colorimetric substrates and radiochemical methods currently used for the detection of antigen-antibody complexes immobilized on nylon or PVDF membranes. - [Read Western Analysis Using the Chemiluminescent Alkaline Phosphatase Substrate CSPD Protocol]
Procedure describes how it denatures most of the modification and degradation proteins immediately giving the most accurate read out of the true levels of protein at the time of harvest. However, in cases where detection is a problem, a limited purification (e.g. isolation of nuclear extract for the detection of transcription factors) might be required to allow analysis. - [Read Western Blot Analysis of Endogenous Gene Expression Protocol]
This protocol describes nuclear and cytoplasmic fractionation of tissue culture cells and a method for Western blot detection of proteins using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System. This protocol was used to detect expression of the "small" Tap protein in 293T, HeLa and COS cells. The Odyssey system has several advantages over the more widely used chemiluminescent detection methods. - [Read Western Blot Analysis of Sub-Cellular Fractionated Samples Using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System]
Protocol for whole mount fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of repetitive DNA sequences on interphase nuclei of the small cruciferous plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Includes: Seed sterilization and germination; Tissue fixation; Labeling of the probe DNA; Pretreatment; In situ hybridization; Pre-absorption of antibodies; Posthybridization washes; Immunocytochemical detection; Direct detection; Indirect detection; Staining and mounting; Fluorescence microscopy. - [Read Whole Mount Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization (FISH) of Repetitive DNA Sequences on Interphase]
Protocol for whole-mount in situ hybridization for the detection of RNA in C. elegans embryos. Includes: Collection of Embryos; Permeabilization and fixation of embryos; Prehybridization; Hybridization; Post-hybridization washes; Probe Detection; Double-labeling; Interpretation. - [Read Whole-Mount In Situ Hybridization for the Detection of RNA in C. elegans Embryos 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.
