Method of choice when large amounts of mammalian DNA are required, for example, for Southern blotting (Rapid Isolation of Mammalian DNA, Rapid Isolation of Yeast DNA, Southern Blotting: Capillary Transfer of DNA to Membranes) or for construction of genomic libraries in bacteriophage {lambda} vectors. Approximately 200 µg of mammalian DNA, 100-150 kb in length, is obtained from 5 x 107 cultured aneuploid mammalian cells (e.g., HeLa cells). - [Read Isolation of High-molecular-weight DNA from Mammalian Cells Using Proteinase K and Phenol Protocol]
Protocol for the isolation of infectious HIV-1. Includes: HIV-1 capture strategy; Protocol for the isolation of HIV-1 virions; Magnetic labeling; Magnetic separation; Elution option A for virion lysate; Elution option B for intact virions. - [Read Isolation of Infectious HIV-1 Protocol]
Protocol was developed to isolate Wolbachia from adult Drosophila, but it can be adapted for other insects. In some insects leg removal prior to isolation facilitates hemolymph extrusion. - [Read Isolation of Live Bacteria from Adult Insects Protocol]
A flow cytometry technique is presented, which results in the selection and isolation of two populations of cells from a complex mixture based on physical properties (e.g., size and internal granularity) and correlated expression of several surface molecules - [Read Isolation of Ly-1+/CD5+ B Cells by Cell Sorting Protocol]
This protocol uses the PBMC fraction enriched in with monocytes by density gradient centrifugations (protocol may be found at www.methods.info). Reduction of the amount of microbeads in comparison to Miltenyi protocol reduces the costs of the experiment. - [Read Isolation of Monocytes from Enriched PBMCs using CD14 Magnetic Beads Protocol]
Provides two protocols that may be used to isolate IHL. One can be used to isolate IHL from multiple livers in parallel, whereas the more elaborate alternate protocol yields more cells per liver but is more appropriately used to recover the IHL from a single liver. - [Read Isolation of Mouse Intrahepatic Lymphocytes Protocol]

Peyer’s Patch, and Lamina Propria Cells lymphocyte populations should be analyzed when studying the immunological status of the intestine, for example in oral immunization or in intestinal disease (including infectious disease and tumors). This protocol details techniques for isolation of IEL, PP cells, and LP cells from the small intestine of the mouse. - [Read Isolation of Mouse Small Intestinal Intraepithelial Lymphocytes Protocol]

Protocol that investigates macrophage activation using a more homogeneous population of cells, macrophages derived from immature progenitor cells in bone marrow can be studied. A second protocol describes the isolation of bone marrow-derived progenitor cells and propagation of these immature macrophages by CSFs or IL-3. - [Read Isolation of Murine Macrophages Protocol]
The preparation of expressional cDNA libraries for use in the yeast two-hybrid system is quick and efficient when using the dedicated Clontech™ product, the MATCHMAKER Library Construction and Screening Kit 3. This kit employs SMART technology for the amplification of full-length cDNAs, in combination with cloning using homologous recombination. - [Read Isolation of Plant Transcription Factors Using a Modified Yeast One-Hybrid System]
Isolation of poly A+ RNA from Total RNA by Oligo(deoxythymidine)cellulose Chromatography. Total RNA is first isolated from the tissues or cells and then mRNA is isolated by PolyA+ selection using oligo(dT) cellulose. This is necessary for all tissue sources rich in RNase (and cell lines). Lazo Lab - [Read Isolation of poly A+ RNA from Total RNA by Oligo(deoxythymidine)cellulose Chromatography]

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.
A single step RNA isolation protocol using Phenol Chloroform Extraction and Acid Guanidinium Thiocyanate. This RNA isolation method uses the fact that guanidinium thiocyanate can simultaneously lyse the cells and inactive cellular RNAses during the initial RNA isolation step allow a single step in the method.
The DNA Ligation protocol described here contains the steps required to join together using ligase enzyme both plasmid DNA and insert DNA fragments in order to create a new plasmid. This new ligated plasmid can be transformed after into competent bacteria to produce DNA for mini, midi or maxi-prep isolation.
This protocol describes the electroporation of the BMH 81-17 mut S strain that is recommended for tranformation of the site directed mutagenesis of dsDNA (See Protocol on Site-Directed Mutagenesis on Double Stranded DNA). BMH 81-17 mut S are a mismatch repair defective (mut S) Escherichia coli strain. The probability that the two mutations will cosegregate during the first round of DNA replication is increased in this strain.
