Describes methods for labeling high or low numbers of lymphocytes with CSFE. Protocols are provided to use CSFE-labeled cells in cell transfer studies or as cells to be cultured in vitro. Detailed guidelines for positioning of CSFE-labeled lymphocytes in lymphoid organs or other tissues are included for those wishing to use this approach to study lymphocyte migration. - [Read Intracellular Fluorescent Dye CFSE to Monitor Lymphocyte Migration and Proliferation]
Most histological studies are carried out on paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples. Therefore, there is an extensive atlas of most tissues and organs prepared from these sources, and comparing the location of antigens to these data is immediately informative. The fixation and embedding procedures are harsh, however, and many antigens are not well preserved. - [Read Preparing Paraffin Tissue Sections for Immunostaining Protocol]
Primary mammalian endothelial cells protocol. This protocol is designed for primary endothelial cells isolated
from various organs of mammals. Large and flat cells, often with large nuclei. Includes: Required reagents; DNA preparation and quality; Preparation of cells and cell culture; Important controls; Nucleofection protocol. - [Read Protocol Primary Mammalian Endothelial Cells]
Tissue subcellular fractionation and protein extraction for use in mass-spectrometry-based proteomics. Although many methods exist for fractionating proteins, the method described here can capture the majority of subcellular fractions simultaneously at reasonable purity. The scalability of this method makes it amenable to small samples, such as embryonic tissues, in addition to larger tissues. The protocol described is for the general fractionation and extraction of proteins from organs / tissue - [Read Tissue subcellular fractionation and protein extraction for use in mass-spectrometry-based proteomic]
