Flow cytometric determination of leukocyte surface antigens in whole bloodThis document assumes that you have a mouse IgG monoclonal antibody directed to the antigen you wish to quantitate and that yo ...
FIXATION and DNA Staining for Cell Cycle Analysis BackgroundThis method of DNA staining utilizes ethanol to fix the cells and permeabilize the membrane which allows the dye (Propidium Iodide) to enter ...
Fluorescein labeling of proteinsThis method uses carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) rather than fluorescein isothiocyanate resulting in more reliable labeling. Succinimidyl esters are excell ...

I. Useful Values 1 mg/ml tubulin = 10 µM (assuming MW of ab-tubulin heterodimer is 100000; in reality it is ~110000 but almost all tubulin labs use this convenient conversion relationship) 1 µm of a m ...
Although many protocols for tubulin preparation are available the procedure described below is the simplest and highest yielding preparation I have done. The protocol calls for 3 pig brains and shoul ...
