Protocol for single strand DNA prep for sequencing. This protocol works well from a 5 ml starting culture or a 1 ml starting culture (adjust volume accordingly). - [Read Single Strand DNA Prep For Sequencing Protocol]
This transient transfection protocol for the ecotropic/amphotropic producer line includes instructions for titering and concentration of viral stocks. This procedure gives consistently higher transfection efficiency. - [Read Transient Transfection: Viral Production]
Protocol provides the sensitivity of enzymatic detection (HRP) in immunohistochemical procedures with the versatility and convenience of fluorescence detection. - [Read Tyramide Amplification and Synthesis Protocol]
This protocol was developed for the BIORAD protein gel and transfer apparatus. The buffers can be used with any electrophoresis/transfer system. - [Read Western Blot Protocol]
Tubulin is polymerized into microtubules by incubating tubulin at 37°C with GTP. A nucleation seed is added when the purpose is to assay microtubule elongation. Tubulin can also be polymerized for the purposes of recycling the tubulin or labeling the microtubules with fluorescently labeled tubulin. Based on the protocol by Timothy Mitchison of Harvard University.
In Vitro Translated Xenopus Mos Kinase Assay Protocol. In response to progesterone, immature Xenopus oocytes mature to eggs that can be fertilized. The Mos protein kinase is essential for oocyte maturation, most likely due to its ability to activate the MAP kinase cascade. This MAP kinase cascade eventually leads to the activation of Cdc2/cyclin B and entry into M phase. In this protocol, tagged Mos kinase is translated in vitro, immunopurified, and used in a kinase assay.
