Protocol describes a method for assembling aggregates between ES cells and diploid embryos. The resulting chimeras are useful for separating certain extraembryonic phenotypes from phenotypes in the embryo proper, since the diploid embryo contributes to all parts of the conceptus, but the ES cell component does not contribute to the trophoblast or yolk sac endoderm. - [Read Assembling Aggregates between Embryonic Stem (ES) Cells and Diploid Embryos Protocol]
Cell fractionation techniques are presented for the design of gradient systems for separating one or more cell types from lavages of body cavities or from mechanically or enzymically-dissociated tissues. Includes: Preparation of cell suspension for gradient loading; Fractionation by buoyant density; Fractionation on the basis of cell size. - [Read Cell Fractionation of a Mixed Population of Cells]
Flow cytometry is a widely used method for characterizing and separating individual cells. This basic protocol focuses on: measure fluorescence intensity produced by fluorescent-labled antibodies and ligands that bind specific cell-associated molecules. Includes: Immunofluorescence Staining and Flow Cytometry Analysis. - [Read Flow Cytometry Analysis Protocol]

Germ layers are multipotent tissues that have the ability to differentiate into various tissue types. Isolation and manipulation of germ layers is important for examining differentiation. This protocol describes a method for separating postimplantation germ layers. - [Read Separating Postimplantation Germ Layers Protocol]
Protocol for separating proteins using ion-exchange chromatography. Protocol details the practical considerations of an ion-exchange chromatography (IEC) experiment. The choice of what type of ion exchanger to use, as well as the composition of the buffers used in this experiment, should be determined prior to beginning this protocol. - [Read Separating Proteins Using Ion-Exchange Chromatography Protocol]
