DNA Affinity Chromatography, DNA affinity chromatography can be a low-tech method using gravity flow at 4°C, a disposable chromatography column, and DNA affinity resin prepared in the laboratory (see Preparation of a DNA Affinity Column). Include 10-20% glycerol and 0.025-0.1% NP-40 in the column buffers to suppress losses due to nonspecific adsorption of protein to surfaces. Load the protein in a buffer that is compatible with binding of the protein to its target site.

DNA laddering can be detected from samples with only 8% apoptotic cells. Alternatively, the cells can be stained with DAPI and analysed by flow cytometry. CellDeath.de - [Read DNA laddering assay for treated cells]
Flow assays offer visualization of cell adhesion under wall shear stress. Visualization of the different events of cell adhesion can be quantified by selective image acquisition and subsequent image processing. Flow assays are suited for adhesive events which occur very rapidly in a time scale shorter than that of most static adhesion assays. Also, events subsequent to the initial events can be studied such as cell stabilization and spreading giving some insight into the kinetics of cell-cell. - [Read Dynamic Flow Assay for Cell Adhesion in a Parallel Plate Flow Chamber]
Flow assays allow visualization of cell adhesion under well-defined wall shear stress. Visualization of the events of cell adhesion are quantified by selective image acquisition and image processing.

Protocol describes a method for evaluation of mitochondrial function using the fluorochrome CMXRos. CMXRos is sequestered by actively respiring mitochondria, but washed out when the mitochondrial membrane potential is lost. This analysis can be combined with the TUNEL technique or immunocytochemistry. - [Read Flow Cytometric Analysis of Mitochondrial Transmembrane Potential ({Delta}{Psi}m)]
Flow cytometric determination of leukocyte surface antigens in whole blood. Quantitation of cell surface antigens in whole blood with the flow cytometer is very simple and requires:
1. Blood collection; 2. Addition of antibody; 3. Calibration of the flow cytometer; 4. Making measurements. - [Read Flow cytometric determination of leukocyte surface antigens in whole blood]

Common methods applicable to flow cytometry make it possible to: (1) identify and quantify dead or dying cells, (2) reveal a mode of cell death (apoptosis or necrosis), and (3) study mechanisms involved in cell death. Gross changes in cell morphology and chromatin condensation, which occur during apoptosis, can be detected by analysis with laser light beam scattering. - [Read Flow Cytometry of Apoptosis Protocol]
Fluorescent dyes absorb light at certain wavelengths and in turn emit their fluorescence energy at a higher wavelength. Each dye has a distinct emission spectrum, which can be exploited for multicolor analysis. eBioscience antibodies are available conjugated to a wide variety of fluorochromes. - [Read Fluorescent Dyes for Flow Cytometric Analysis]
This protocol describes a method for constant-flow microinjection using the Pneumatic PicoPump (World Precision Instruments). This type of system is very simple and can be assembled on a relatively low budget. In this method, a constant flow of sample is delivered from the tip of the pipette, and the amount of sample injected into the cell is determined by how long the pipette remains in the cell. - [Read Gene Delivery by Direct Injection (Microinjection) Using a Controlled-Flow System Protocol]
This protocol describes a method for pulsed-flow microinjection using the Eppendorf FemtoJet injector and Eppendorf InjectMan; this is the most common type of pulsed-flow microinjection system currently being used. The advantage of this type of system over a controlled-flow system is that much more control is available over the injection parameters, reducing variability in injections. In addition, the system allows a diagonal insertion of the needle into the cell. - [Read Gene Delivery by Direct Injection (Microinjection) Using a Pulsed-Flow System Protocol]
