The overall goal of the stripe assay is to asses the ability of specific proteins, such as guidance molecules, to attract or repel neurons. This method can help answer key questions in the field of axon guidance, such as, how neurons can migrate o

Axon guidance molecules regulate neuronal migration and targeted growth-cone navigation. We present a powerful method, the stripe assay, to assess the ability of guidance molecules to attract or repulse neurons. In this protocol, we demonstrate the stripe assay by showing FLRT2's ability to repel cultured hippocampal neurons.
