Described herein is a protocol to isolate and analyze the infiltrating leukocytes of tissues at the maternal-fetal interface (uterus, decidua, and placenta) of mice. This protocol maintains the integrity of most cell surface markers and yields enough viable cells for downstream applications including flow cytometry analysis.
This article presents a method to generate protein crystals derivatized with I3C (5-amino-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalic acid) using microseeding to generate new crystallization conditions in sparse matrix screens. The trays can be set up using liquid dispensing robots or by hand.
This protocol details the isolation of chondrocytes, Fibronectin Adhesion Assay-derived Chondroprogenitors (FAA-CPs), and Migratory Chondroprogenitors (MCPs) from human articular cartilage. It covers enzymatic digestion, fibronectin adhesion, and migration-based assays for isolating and characterizing these cells.
