Currently, the two probes of choice for ISH are riboprobes of usually 100–300 bp (RNA transcribed from cDNA probes) or oligonucleotide probes of 18–100 bp (which match the cDNA sequence), the latter being less sensitive. Because of the enhanced signal obtained with TR probes, straightforward simpl[r]
8. The use of phosphate buffers should be avoided if possible because phosphate may inhibit sulfatase activities ( see Chapter 34). and thus affect overall mucinase activity. 9. Blank incubations can be prepared using enzyme extract that has been heat treated for 5 min at 95 ° C and centri[r]

1. Introduction Northern blot analysis has historically been one of the most common methods used to provide information on the number, length, and relative abundance of mRNAs expressed by a single gene. This technique also generates a record of the total mRNA content expressed by a cell cul[r]

8. It is essential to have isotonic conditions, i.e., 300 mosmolar to shield the negative charge on the mucins otherwise anomalously high viscosities will result. 9. It is vital to include controls without enzyme in the mucolysis experiments. Crude mucus samples may contain endogenous pro[r]

MUC1/neo-positive population of cells sorted by flow cytometry died within 2 wk with- out proliferation. Cloning of MUC1/neo-positive cells by limiting dilution in a 96-well plate resulted in progressive death of these cells, whereas neo-positive only cells expanded. We do not have a good explanat[r]

In addition to the MHC-unrestricted CTLs, some MUC1-specific MHC-restricted CTLs have also been identified.
