Abstract:
The interaction between neurons and glia is pivotal for the development of chronic opioid tolerance. One of the most important mechanisms of cell-to-cell interaction is the Notch signaling pathway. In this chapter we propose a double-immunofluorescence method to observe and quantify the colocalization of Notch-1 and mu-opioid receptor (MOR-1), using both neuronal and astrocyte markers.

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
