ABSTRACTThe simplest way to determine whether two monoclonal antibodies bind to distinct sites on a protein antigen is to carry out a competition assay. The assay can be used with antibodies that bind ...
INTRODUCTIONOne versatile strategy for sample cleanup prior to MALDI-MS analysis uses microscale columns designed for direct sample elution onto the MALDI target plate. This protocol describes the fab ...

CGH Image acquisition Images were acquired through a Zeiss Axiophot fluorescence microscope using a Plan NEOFLUAR oil objective x63 N.A. 1.25 (Zeiss Oberkochen Germany) equipped with filter sets appro ...
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is a molecular cytogenetic method for the detection of chromosomal imbalances. In a CGH experiment two genomic DNA samples are simultaneously hybridized in sit ...
This CGH Protocol is used for DNA of good quality when available in sufficient amounts. We usually do replicate hybridizations using samples labeled "inversely" (reversing the label for test and norma ...
