The combination of prospective identification/isolation of bone marrow progenitors and quantitative RT-PCR is a powerful tool to understand the molecular mechanism underlying hematopoiesis. Describes the standard procedures of the murine myeloid progenitor staining for fluorescence activated cells sorting (FACS) and RNA purification methods. - [Read Cell Staining for Sorting of Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC) and Myeloid Progenitors]
The combination of prospective identification/isolation of bone marrow progenitors and quantitative RT-PCR is a powerful tool to understand the molecular mechanism underlying hematopoiesis. Here, we described our standard procedures of the murine myeloid progenitor staining for fluorescence activated cells sorting (FACS) and RNA purification methods. - [Read Cell Staining for Sorting of Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Myeloid Progenitors and Isolating RNA]
Provides a brief historical perspective to illustrate the demands for this technology and to lay the foundation for its application; Explains the hurdles that were surmounted to achieve the current level of multiparametric analysis which serves to alert researchers to potential problems they may encounter when they either bring this technology to their own laboratories, or when they use extant instrumentation in another laboratory; Illustrates some of the complexities that arise. - [Read Multiparameter FACS Analysis]
This method works well to assess cell cycle distribution of whole cell populations. This method can also be used to assess the cell cycle distribution of GFP transfected cells however, the EtOH step is generally not sufficient to keep GFP in the cell. - [Read Preparing Cells for PI/FACS (cell cycle) Analysis Protocol]
