After section of the corticospinal (CS) tract in adult rats, neutralizing Nogo-A with monoclonal antibodies leads to enhancement of axonal re-growth and compensatory sprouting, accompanied by increased motor recovery. The neutralization of Nogo-A represents a promising approach for therapy after lesion if its enhancement of functional recovery can be transposed to primates. - [Read Anti-Nogo-A Treatment Protocol]

LCM utilizes an infrared laser integrated into a standard microscope. A transparent cap is attached to a thermoplastic transparent membrane which lies directly on the surface of a routinely prepared tissue section on a glass slide. The investigator examines the tissue section microscopically and activates the laser when the desired cells underlie the target. This in turn activates the membrane with subsequent binding and procurement of the cells of interest. - [Read Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM)]

Provides an overview of terminology and echniques unique to flow ytometry and is divided into two sections. The first section discusses technical aspects of flow cytometry which apply primarily to the instrumentation-oriented flow cytometry phase. The second section discusses electronic cell separation using flow cytometry. - [Read Overview of Flow Cytometry]
Tubulin is polymerized into microtubules by incubating tubulin at 37°C with GTP. A nucleation seed is added when the purpose is to assay microtubule elongation. Tubulin can also be polymerized for the purposes of recycling the tubulin or labeling the microtubules with fluorescently labeled tubulin. Based on the protocol by Timothy Mitchison of Harvard University.
Paraffin Embedding Protocol for molecular profiling. This Paraffin Embedding Protocol describes the processing of the tissues into sections following ethanol fixation. Molecular profiling (MP) is a technique that is used to visualize the global patterns of RNA expression or protein expression in various cell types and disease processes.
In Vitro Translated Xenopus Mos Kinase Assay Protocol. In response to progesterone, immature Xenopus oocytes mature to eggs that can be fertilized. The Mos protein kinase is essential for oocyte maturation, most likely due to its ability to activate the MAP kinase cascade. This MAP kinase cascade eventually leads to the activation of Cdc2/cyclin B and entry into M phase. In this protocol, tagged Mos kinase is translated in vitro, immunopurified, and used in a kinase assay.
This protocol a protocol on how to generate transfected embryonic stem (ES) cell clones. The previous protocol in this series is the Protocol for Electroporation of ES cells. The next protocol in the series is the Protocol on Disaggregation, Expansion, and Freezing of Transfected ES Clones.
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.
