Protocol describes a general method for the purification of protein using dye-ligand affinity chromatography. The effectiveness of this protocol is dependent upon the reader having previously determined the optimal dye and buffer conditions to use for binding and eluting the protein(s) of interest. - [Read Purification of Protein Using Dye-Ligand Affinity Chromatography Protocol]
In an attempt to accurately measure DNA content with simultaneous preservation of cell surface markers, we have utilized gentle ethanol treatment techniques, which permeablize cells with minimal loss of surface antigen expression and antibody-antigen association. For some cell types, the presence of apoptotic cells based on reduced DNA content can also be detected. One such technique employs the addition of ethanol to cells previously resuspended in high concentrations of fetal bovine serum... - [Read Simultaneous Analysis of DNA Content and Surface Immunophenotype Protocol]
DNA microarrays are an ordered arrangement of DNA molecules complementary to genes of interest that are "spotted" by robotic equipment onto a glass slide substrate. The expression of genes in cells can be monitored with microarrays by preparing cDNA from the mRNA of cells of interest and measuring the hybridization to the microarray. This protocol describes the labeling of genomic DNA for use as a probe for hybridization to the cDNA spotted on the array.
