Greetings......

I have been asked to participate in a study investigating the toxic effects of a
variety of compunds in rats. We want to correlate certain RT-PCR gene patterns
with possible changes in cell cycle patterns.

Basically, I will have access to quick-frozen rat spleen, liver, and kidney from
differnent conditions at various timepoints. Does anyone have their favorite
nuclei preparation method they would like to share? I am interested in those
protocols that have consistant yields of nuclei per mg tissue. I am also
interested in methods that could differentate cells and/or nuclei from different
cell types within the liver or kidney.

I have a Coulter XL-MCL for the acquisition/analysis.

Thanks for all your help!
