2026
Multiplexed immunofluorescence enables sequential labeling of multiple antibody markers within a single tissue section to support spatial analysis of tissue architecture and cell populations. Here, a workflow for multiplex detection of senescence-associated, structural, and immune markers is presented, including manual and automated slide preparation, iterative imaging, and single-cell analysis using digital pathology software.

Duplex Digital PCR for Simultaneous Quantification of Dual Genetic Markers
0 Views •
2025
In this video, we demonstrate the duplex digital PCR (ddPCR) technique — a modification of the traditional PCR technique that is useful in detecting two different genetic markers simultaneously. A single PCR reaction is partitioned into nanoliter-sized emulsified droplets that are independently amplified, and the detection of differently colored fluorescence amplification signals from the fraction of droplets is used to compute the initial concentration of the target sequences.

meta-Directing Deactivators: –NO2, –CN, –CHO, –CO2R, –COR, –CO2H

All meta-directing substituents are deactivating groups. These substituents withdraw electrons from the aromatic ring, making the ring less reactive toward electrophilic substitution. For example, the nitration of nitrobenzene is 100,000 times slower than that of benzene because of the deactivating effect of the nitro group. The first step in an electrophilic aromatic substitution is the addition of an electrophile to form a resonance-stabilized carbocation. The energy diagrams for the...

This protocol adapts cell cycle measurements for use in a mass cytometry platform. With the multi-parameter capabilities of mass cytometry, direct measurement of iodine incorporation allows identification of cells in S-phase while intracellular cycling markers enable characterization of each cell cycle state in a range of experimental conditions.

In this video, we demonstrate gold immunostaining of biomarkers localized within the lumen region of ultrathin exosomal sections. This technique enables early diagnosis of diseases by visualization of target molecules within the exosomes secreted by the diseased cells.
FAQs
MAP-2 associates with microtubules in neuronal cell bodies and dendrites, helping stabilize these cytoskeletal tracks. Because microtubules support both cellular shape and intracellular transport, the protein’s enrichment marks compartments with particular structural organization. Examining where the marker appears therefore links molecular localization to the physical arrangement of neuronal processes.
MAP-2 staining is informative because the detected protein is enriched in dendrites and neuronal cell bodies rather than being described as evenly distributed across all neurites. Researchers can compare the location and intensity of signal with neurite morphology, using the resulting pattern to identify dendritic architecture and separate it from axonal organization in a sample.
Changes in MAP-2 distribution or intensity can provide evidence that neuronal structure has changed, rather than merely showing that neurons are present. In developmental, disease, or experimental-injury studies, researchers can evaluate altered dendritic organization or neurite patterns and relate those observations to the condition being investigated.
Researchers apply MAP-2 immunostaining to cultured cells or tissue samples, then inspect the resulting signal across neuronal cell bodies and processes. The workflow supports direct assessment of dendritic architecture within the specimen and allows observations from different experimental conditions to be compared. It is therefore useful when structural organization, not only neuronal presence, is the outcome of interest.
The marker supports assessment of neurite outgrowth and neuronal differentiation by making structural changes visible in the relevant sample. In cultured cells, researchers can examine how neuronal processes develop and whether cells acquire neuronal organization. These observations complement cell-identification goals by adding information about morphology and developmental state.
In neuroscience, MAP-2 provides a structural readout for examining how neuronal organization changes under disease-related or experimental-injury conditions. Researchers can track differences in dendritic architecture, signal distribution, or signal intensity across samples. This makes the marker useful for connecting cellular-level alterations with broader questions about neuronal development, organization, and structural damage.
