Culture protocols and information for T brucei. Detailed guide to the practice and history ofTrypanosoma brucei cultivation. This covers the culture of bloodstream and procyclic forms in liquid media and on agarose plates. - [Read Culture Protocols and Information for T brucei]
This highly efficient in vivo gene transduction technique for laboratory mice. Hepatocytes are most effectively transduced by tail vein injection of a large volume of DNA solution in a short time. Practice with the injection technique is necessary!!! - [Read Hydrodynamics-Based Gene Transduction Protocol]
Protocol describes oviduct transfer of mouse embryos. It is based on the Whittingham method, which applied a well described procedure for the rat to the mouse. It is best to practice this procedure first on a cadaver and then on an anesthetized 0.5-dpc pseudopregnant mouse using a dye solution or blue Affigel beads rather than embryos to gain experience in finding the opening of the oviduct (infundibulum). - [Read Oviduct Transfer Protocol]
Protocol describes the practice of stripping immunoblots and reprobing to detect multiple proteins on the same blot is a good method to examine two antigens under identical conditions. - [Read Stripping Immunoblots for Reprobing or Storage Protocol]
Protocol describes a procedure for uterine transfer, which is used for chimera production. The method is based on extensive work which resulted in the first successful development and birth of in-vitro-cultured mouse embryos. It is best to practice this procedure first on a cadaver and then on an anesthetized 2.5-days post coitum (dpc) pseudopregnant mouse using blue Affigel beads rather than embryos. - [Read Uterine Transfer Protocol]
The protocol gives general considerations for the design of targeting vectors for transgenic mice. The protocol shares tips in the design of knock-out and knock-in vectors and some of their strategies for producing homologously recombined embryonic stem cells.
