Separation and Fractionation of Cell Wall and Cell Membrane Proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis for Downstream Protein Analysis06:14

Separation and Fractionation of Cell Wall and Cell Membrane Proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis for Downstream Protein Analysis

This protocol separates insoluble cell wall and membrane proteins into simple fractions (1-5 proteins) using preparative isoelectric focusing (IEF) based on isoelectric point, followed by separation by molecular weight. The resulting fractions can be used directly for immunological and proteomic analysis without further...

Micro-Colony Forming Unit Assay for Efficacy Evaluation of Vaccines Against Tuberculosis06:26

Micro-Colony Forming Unit Assay for Efficacy Evaluation of Vaccines Against Tuberculosis

The determination of colony-forming units (CFU) is the gold-standard technique for quantifying bacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis which can take weeks to form visible colonies. Here we describe a micro-CFU for CFU determination with increased time efficiency, reduced lab space and reagent cost, and scalability to medium and high throughput...

Evaluation of the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Integrity in Mouse Oocytes10:09

Evaluation of the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Integrity in Mouse Oocytes

Error in chromosome segregation is a common feature in oocytes. Therefore, studying the spindle assembly checkpoint gives important clues about the mechanisms needed to produce healthy eggs. The present protocol describes three complementary assays to evaluate spindle assembly checkpoint integrity in mouse...
