Small-sample total RNA purification: laser capture microdissection and cultured cell applications.
Gene expression studies require analysis of RNA, but isolation of total RNA from very small samples by traditional methods can be difficult and inefficient. The Absolutely RNA microprep kit provides a convenient method for isolating total RNA from small numbers of cells such as those harvested by laser capture microdissection (LCM). The protocol includes binding of RNA to a solid support, thus ...
متن کاملLaser capture microdissection and single-cell RT-PCR without RNA purification.
Chronic infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) are characterized by intrathecal synthesis of increased amounts of immunoglobulin G (IgG) directed against the agent that causes disease. In other inflammatory CNS diseases such as multiple sclerosis and CNS sarcoid, the targets of the humoral immune response are uncertain. To identify the IgGs expressed by individual CD38(+) plasm...
متن کامل2 Laser Capture Microdissection Principles and Applications
The acquisition of homogeneous or pure cell populations for cell biologic and molecular analyses has been a difficult challenge for many decades. A variety of approaches have been tried, including macroscopic dissection of tissues from frozen tissue blocks to increase the population of specific cell types (1,2). Some investigators have used irradiation of manually ink-stained sections to destro...
متن کاملLaser capture microdissection: methodical aspects and applications with emphasis on immuno-laser capture microdissection.
Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is an easy, extremely fast and versatile method for the isolation of morphologically defined cell populations from complex primary tissues for molecular analyses. However, the optical resolution is limited due to the use of dried sections without coverslip necessary for tissue capture, and routine stains such as hematoxylin and eosin are sometimes insufficien...
متن کاملLaser-capture microdissection.
Laser-capture microdissection is a recently discovered state-of-the-art method to obtain cells for genetic analysis. It is a one-step procedure that allows capture of selected cells under direct microscopic visualization.
