Protocols for detection and purification of proteins tagged with a particular epitope, the FLAG tag, although the same general approach can be applied to other epitope tags. The protocols employ the anti-FLAG M2 antibody to detect and purify FLAG-tagged proteins. The methods presented are immunoprecipitation of FLAG fusion proteins from cells using an anti-FLAG M2 affinity gel, detection of FLAG fusion proteins by western blotting, and purification of FLAG fusion proteins by anti-FLAG. - [Read Epitope Tagging of Recombinant Proteins Protocol]
Protocol describes a method for estimation of mammalian cell number in a defined volume of medium using a hemocytometer. Automated methods using cell-counting devices such as those produced by Coulter are desirable when large numbers of individual samples are to be counted. - [Read Estimation of Cell Number by Hemocytometry Counting Protocol]
Questions and answers about cell sorting. Includes: When should I use fluorescence activated cell sorting over bulk separation methods like panning or magnetic bead separations? Will my cells be harmed by the sorting process? How many cells do I need to prepare to recover 1 X 106 of a population that comprises 10% of the cells? Are there ways to improve sort recovery? etc... - [Read FAQs About Cell Sorting]
This cDNA synthesis system simplifies your work dramatically. All reaction components are premixed and lyophylised. You have to add your RNA and (for Your-Prime beads) the primer. Another advantage of the system is a little number of pipetting steps required, and therefore reduced risk of Rnase contamination and RNA degradation. - [Read First strand cDNA synthesis with Ready-To-Go Beads Protocol]
Common methods applicable to flow cytometry make it possible to: (1) identify and quantify dead or dying cells, (2) reveal a mode of cell death (apoptosis or necrosis), and (3) study mechanisms involved in cell death. Gross changes in cell morphology and chromatin condensation, which occur during apoptosis, can be detected by analysis with laser light beam scattering. - [Read Flow Cytometry of Apoptosis Protocol]
Most biological specimens are relatively transparent, so details of internal and intracellular morphology are difficult to image in untreated living specimens using simple bright-field techniques. Fluorescence microscopy offers greater advantages and possibilities for increasing contrast and determining the specific localization of molecules in cells. Article outlines the three methods most commonly used to introduce an appropriate label into Drosophila tissue without perturbing the process. - [Read Fluorescent Reagents for Live Cell Imaging and Their Introduction into Cells]

FPLC Protocol. The FPLC consists of a pump and a column which will withstand high pressure so separations can be carried out relatively quickly. For a detailed description there is a FPLC system handbook which is particularly useful for trouble shooting. For use of individual columns follow the "instructions" (in the green folder) which accompany each one. Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, Oxford University. - [Read FPLC Protocol]

DNA isolation from various fungal species including: Cochliobolus, Aternaria, and Fusarium. Key steps: (1) the use of young lyophilized mycelial mats - yield less contaminating carbohydrates; (2) proteinase K in the extraction buffer to destroy DNases (f - [Read Fungal DNA Isolation Method]
Protocol for fungal DNA isolation. The key elements in this prep are (1) the use of young lyophilized mycelial mats....young mats (4 days growth for C. carbonum)...yield less contaminating carbohydrates and other misc. junk (2) lots of proteinase K in the extraction buffer to kill Dnases (final =0.3mg/ml). - [Read Fungal DNA Isolation Protocol]

Protocol describes methods for isolation of DNA from a strain of S. cerevisiae carrying a recombinant YAC. Because the linear YAC DNAs are sensitive to shearing forces, pipettes with wide-bore tips should be used to transfer DNAs. The method is suitable for preparing DNA that will be used for agarose gel electrophoresis, Southern blotting, subcloning, genomic library construction, PCR, or other methods that do not require intact high-molecular-weight DNA. - [Read Growth of S. cerevisiae and Preparation of DNA Protocol]
