There are many ways to adapt cell lines to serum-free media. Five methods are presented that are designed for adapting hybridomas to a protein-free medium. These protocols may require some modifications for your particular cell line and conditions. - [Read Adapting Cells to a Serum-Free Environment Protocol]

Category: Epigenetics and Methylation Protocols: ChIP Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Protocols

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Protocol for Histone Modification Chromatin and Associated Proteins. Roderick O’Sullivan & Joost Martens. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments are routinely performed in many laboratories around the world to examine the occupancy of proteins or chromatin modifications over particular stretches of the genome. - [Read Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Protocol for Histone Modification Chromatin and Associated Proteins]

Chromatin immunoprecipitation protocol to analyze histone modifications in Arabidopsis thaliana. Werner Aufsatz, Matzke Lab. Gregor Mendel Institute of Molecular Plant Biology, Austria. Includes Chromatin Crosslinking, Chromatin preparation, Pre-clearing and immuno precipitation (IP), Collection,washes and elution of immune complexes, Reverse crosslinking and DNA cleanup - [Read Chromatin immunoprecipitation protocol to analyze histone modifications in Arabidopsis thaliana]

Category: Cell Organelle Protocols: Subcellular Fractionation Protocols: Membrane Isolation Protocols

The protocol described in this protocol has been used principally for analyzing the Golgi, endoplasmic reticulum and trans-Golgi network but markers for other compartments (e.g. ERGIC and endosomes) have also been analyzed. Modifications either to the gradient density range or the centrifugation conditions influence the ability of the gradient to resolve multiple compartments. - [Read Fractionation of Golgi, ER, TGN and Other Membrane Compartments in Pre-Formed Iodixanol Gradients]

Category: Tetrahymena Protozoa Protocols

The method for freezing Tetrahymena has undergone major modifications over the years. - [Read Freezing and Thawing Tetrahymena Cultures Protocol]

Category: Lipid Protocols

New screening efforts and chemical modifications of existing compounds have been attempted to identify more selective and potent inhibitors. To determine the selectivity of the inhibitors identified during screening efforts we developed gel-elongation assay using crude bacterial lysate directly to determine the target specificities of fatty acid synthesis inhibitors. - [Read Gel-elongation Assay for Type II Fatty Acid Synthesis Protocol]

Category: Primary Cell Isolation and Culture Protocols: Mammalian Cell Culture Protocols

This procedure describes the isolation and culture of adult mouse cardiac myocytes from two or more hearts. Includes modifications for the digestion of two or more hearts in the same procedure and subsequent pooling of myocytes derived from the multiple hearts. The isolation procedure is performed by one or more technicians and routinely yields approximately 1 million rod-shaped myocytes per heart. - [Read Isolation of Adult Mouse Cardiac Myocytes from Two or More Hearts Protocol]

Protein sequencing by mass spectrometry. Mass analysis of peptides and proteins. Identification of modifications in proteins. Good information.Univ. Virginia. Dr. Nicholas Sherman - [Read Mass spectrometry analysis and identification of proteins]

Category: Primary Cell Isolation and Culture Protocols: Mammalian Cell Culture Protocols

This protocol is optimized for erythroid cells, other cell types may require modifications. - [Read Protocol for Stable Lines]

Category: Cytogenetics Protocols: In Situ Hybridization Protocols

This protocol fixes and prepares embryos for in situ hybridization to visualize transcript expression patterns. It is a modification of the method developed by Tautz and Pfeifle for whole-mount in situ analysis of embryos. Use of the standard hybridization protocol on RNAi-treated embryos results in high background staining, which makes visualization of transcript expression patterns practically impossible. The following modifications eliminate this problem and allow visualization of transcript. - [Read Transcript In Situ Hybridization of Whole-Mount Embryos for Phenotype Analysis of RNAi-Treated]
