Provides several approaches to flow cytometry data analysis. Frequency determinations based on analysis of single-parameter fluorescence histograms and dual-parameter contour plots are presented. Steps are described for calculating values for signal-to-noise ratios when logarithmic amplification is used for data collection. - [Read Analysis of Flow Cytometry Data Protocol]
Protocol uses specific antibodies coupled to one of four fluorochromes: fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), R-phycoerythrin (PE), peridinin chlorophyll-a (PcP),
and allophycocyanin (APC). These fluorochromes can be used simultaneously to stain and analyze the expression patterns of four different proteins in the same sample. The
fluorochrome stained cell populations are analyzed using a FACSCalibur dual-laser flow cytometer. - [Read Characterization of Cells by Flow Cytometry Protocol]

Conditional ablation of stat3/socs3 discloses the dual role for reactive astrocytes after spinal cord injury. The current protocol demonstrates that reactive astrocytes play a crucial role in wound healing and functional recovery by using mice with a selective deletion of the signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) or suppression of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3) under the control of Nestin gene promoter/enhancer (STAT3N–/–, SOCS3N–/–). - [Read Conditional Ablation of Stat3 Socs3 Discloses the Dual Role for Reactive Astrocytes]
Assay measures cell viability. It is a two-color fluorescence assay that simultaneously determines Live cell number and Dead cell number. This protocol is designed for use with the GEMINI XS Microplate Spectrofluorometer, a multi-well plate scanner with dual excitation/emission capabilities, but the assay is also adaptable for flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. Includes: Cell Culture; Preparation for the Assay; Live/Dead Assay; Reading the Plate; Data Analysis; Alternative protocol. - [Read Live/Dead Assay for Cell Viability Protoco]
The more commonly available single-laser cytometers can also be used to measure multicellular conjugates, but due to overlaps in emission spectra, the extent of labeling cells with fluorophores must be controlled much more carefully when the single-laser machines are used. This protocol describes the labeling of cells and analysis of conjugates with either dual-laser or single laser flow cytometers. - [Read Measurement of Intercellular Conjugates by Flow Cytometry Protocol]
Protocol for phenotype-specific immunodetection of cyclins using 488/630 nm dual laser flow cytometry. This protocol is for use with the D and E cyclins and employs 488 nm argon laser excitation of propidium iodide and a FITC-conjugated phenotypic label, and 630 nm NeNe or diode laser excitation of the fluorochrome Cy5 to detect cell cycle-specific cyclin D expression. - [Read Phenotype-Specific Immunodetection of Cyclins using 488/630 nm Dual Laser Flow Cytometry Protocol]
Protocol demonstrates that reactive astrocytes play a crucial role in wound healing and functional recovery by using mice with a selective deletion of the signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) or suppression of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3) under the control of Nestin gene promoter/enhancer (STAT3N–/–, SOCS3N–/–). Procedure includes: Surgical procedures, Functional evaluation, Immunohistochemistry, In vitro migration assay. - [Read Protocol for Conditional Ablation of stat3/socs3 Discloses the Dual Role for Reactive Astrocytes]
A Single Stranded Plasmid DNA Isolation Protocol describing the production and isolation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) using bacteriophagemid-containing bacteria and helper phage. Infection of the host cells with helper phage allows for packaging of ssDNA into bacteriophage. The ssDNA can then be isolated from phage particles.
Histone H1 Kinase Activity Assay Protocol. This protocol describes assaying kinase activity of a putative kinase using Histone H1 as the substrate. Histone H1 is the canonical kinase substrate in this type of assay. Phosphorylation of Histone H1 is assessed by SDS-Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography.
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.
