HOW DO WE
DO THIS?
RED marks nuclei
Making
Polyclonals
serum
+ or - purif.
MCB 6.2
Monoclonals
(‘0601’)
PAGE
PolyAcrylimide Gel Elecrophoresis
MCB 3
Western or Immunoblot
MCB 3.5 “3EIMMBLOT”
Immunocytochemistry
Most common
enzyme conjugates:
Alkaline phosphatase
Horseradish Peroxidase
FITC secondary
Fluorescent microscopy
Anti-fibronectin
Then FITC
Fluorescence,
rather than
a converted
substrate, as
secondary to
mark protein’s
presence
RED, PI,

Tracking specific macromolecules
For protein: antibody-antigen
For nucleic acid: n.a. complementarity

Other markers of cells
‘Staining’ cells to follow cells /
lineages
Markers for small molecules
Markers for cell compartments
Vital dye injection into cells to follow cell lineage
Flourecent dye injection into cells to follow cell lineage
Dye injection into cells to map neurites
(here, axons from retinal neurons to tectum)
