locations Protocols

Category: Immunology: Immunofluorescence Protocols: Immunofluorescence Staining Protocols

Provides a protocol for indirect immunofluorescence, which is a method that provides information about the locations of specific molecules and the structure of the cell. Antibody molecules for a specific target molecule are exposed to the cell or tissue being investigated. The binding of these molecules is detected by incubating the sample with a secondary antibody specific for immunoglobulin molecules and conjugated to fluorophore. - [Read Immunofluorescence Staining Protocol]

Category: Nucleic Acid Purification Protocols

Preparations of RNA containing an mRNA of interest are hybridized to a complementary single-stranded DNA probe.  At the end of the reaction nuclease S1 is used to degrade unhybridized regions of the probe, and the surviving DNA-RNA hybrids are then separated by gel electrophoresis and visualized by autoradiography or Southern hybridization.  Method used to quantitate RNAs, to map the positions of introns, and to identify the locations of 5' and 3' ends of mRNAs on cloned DNA templates. - [Read Mapping RNA with Nuclease S1 Protocol]

Category: Nucleic Acid Modification Protocols: Nucleic Acid Radiolabeling Protocols

Preparations of RNA containing an mRNA of interest are hybridized to a radiolabeled single-stranded RNA probe. The method can be used to quantitate RNAs, to map the positions of introns, and to identify the locations of 5' and 3' ends of mRNAs on cloned DNA templates. - [Read Mapping RNA with Ribonuclease and Radiolabeled RNA Probes Protocol]
