Isolation and Immunofluorescent Staining of Fresh Rat Pia–Arachnoid Complex Tissue for Micromechanical Characterization

Immunofluorescent staining of Drosophila larval brain tissue.

INTRODUCTION The Drosophila larval brain is a well-established model for investigating the role of stem cells in development. Neuroblasts (neural stem cells) must be competent to generate many thousands of differentiated neurons through asymmetric divisions during normal development. Studies in fly neuroblasts have been instrumental in identifying how the establishment and maintenance of cell p...

Isolation, Characterization and Differentiation of Rat Adipose Tissue Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Introduction:   Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential of self-renewal and differentiation into different cell types, including blood cells, heart, nerves and cartilage, and have unlimited power for division. These cells can be obtained from cord, before implantation from fertilized cells and also from various tissues of adults although the differentiation power and the ability to reproduce ...

A membrane-immunofluorescent-viability staining technique for the detection of Salmonella spp. from fresh and processed meat samples.

A direct staining technique was investigated for the detection of viable Salmonella in fresh and processed meats. The technique involved overnight enrichment in BPW, extraction of Salmonella cells onto a polycarbonate membrane, followed by detection of the pathogen using anti-Salmonella monoclonal antibody coupled with an antibody linked-fluorescent stain (Texas Red) and a viability stain (Syto...
