To 2mls of mid-log culture or 1ml of freshly saturated culture add 1ml(or an equal volume) of glycerol solution, mix gently, then freeze rapidly in liquid nitrogen or on dry ice. Store at -20°C and - 70°C. - [Read Bacterial Glycerol Stocks Protocol]
Protocol for motility using VE-DIC microscopy. Materials required: Anti-GST (glutathione S-transferase) antibody, PB buffer =10 mM NaPO4 pH 7.2, EGTA, MgCl2, Clarified motor lysate, MTs or Axoneme-MTs,Mg·ATP, VALAP (1 Vasoline: 1 Lanolin: 1 Paraffin, heated gently until melted) and Maxell XR-S120 Black Magnetite Super-VHS tapes or comparable. - [Read Protocol for Motility using VE-DIC Microscopy]
The liver of a rat is cannulated and perfused in situ with buffer, following which it is excised and perfused in a closed system with a collagenase solution. After a period of time the liver begins to break up, at which point it is transferred to a measuring cylinder and culture medium is added. It is then gently agitated to cause the release of cells which are subsequently filtered and allowed to settle out. The parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells form two distinct layers which can be separat - [Read The Isolation and Culture of Rat Hepatic Cells Protocol]
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.
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.
