C. elegans Blastomere Dissekering: En metod för att ta bort äggskalet och dissociera embryonala celler
Published: April 30, 2023
Abstract
Källa: Hsu, C.R., et al. In vitro-rekonstitution av rumsliga cellkontaktmönster med isolerade caenorhabditis elegans embryo blastomeres och självhäftande polystyren pärlor. J. Vis. Exp. (2019).
Denna video introducerar en metod för att isolera C. elegans blastomeres från tidiga embryon. De resulterande cellerna är lämpliga för cellkultur eller ex vivo-experiment.
Protocol
Detta protokoll är ett utdrag från Hsu et al, In Vitro Reconstitution of Spatial Cell Contact Patterns with Isolated Caenorhabditis elegans Embryo Blastomeres and Adhesive Polystyrene Beads, J. Vis. Exp. (2019). Isolering av embryo blastomere Använd handskar och labbrock för att undvika klippning och kontakt med blekni…
