Protocol used to for immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded sections. Based on use of microwave energy to effect antigen retrieval. The immunohistochemistry procedure, is for use of Biomeda's HistoScan kit based on a streptavidin-peroxidase/biotinylated second antibody detection system with 3-amino, 9-ethylcarbazole (AEC) as chromogen. Undoubtedly, other kits or home-made reagents will also work . - [Read Antigen Retrieval for Immunohistochemistry with Paraffin-Embedded Tissues Protocol]
Protocol describes the use of a basic water-based dye to stain for acid mucosubstances and acetic mucins located on the cartilage of fixed embryos, permitting the examination of cartilage formation. - [Read Cartilage Staining of Xenopus tropicalis Protocol]
Differences in injection of X. laevis and X. tropicalis. Includes: X. tropicalis lays eggs about 4 hours after a boost of hCG; In vitro fertilization is not nearly as efficient in trops compared to laevis; X. tropicalis embryos are much softer than X. laevis embryos; X. tropicalis embryos whose jelly coats are removed by cysteine have a loose sticky vitelline membrane; X. tropicalis do not have a "summer slump". - [Read Differences in Injection of X. laevis and X. tropicalis]

Fixation is to preserve cells and tissue constituents in as close a life-like state as possible and to allow them to undergo further preparative procedures without change. Fixation arrests autolysis and bacterial decomposition and stabilises the cellular and tissue constituents so that they withstand the subsequent stages of tissue processing. Great detailed guide with protocols. Anthony S-Y Leong. - [Read Fixation and Fixatives - A great guide]
PCR polymerase costs can be high. If you are willing to work, you can produce bacteria containing the clone. It appears to produce lots of Taq and is quite stable. The proceedure takes 4 days start to (15 000 units of Taq) finish. The Taq also appears ver - [Read Home-made Taq Polymerase Purification]
