Anyone had any issues with fibrin gels disintegrating in OCT for immunostaining?

I use oCT to put my gels into in order to under go immunostaining. It appears the gels disintegrate both the longer they are in OCT and when they are frozen, leaving wafer thin samples. Does...

Problems with Bovine Fibrin Clots?

Hi I am using Fibrinogen (10mg/ml) and Thrombin (1000U/ml) to form fibrin clots. I found that after getting good cross linking initially the clots dissolve to liquid if left in incubator...

Is it possible for two human neuronal cell lines to have different gene sequence for the same protein?

I am looking at the ATP1A2 (Sodium/Potassium ATPase alpha subunit 2) in two human neuronal cell lines. Expression levels of this protein seems to be almost equal when detected by one antibody....

Is CD44 degraded in lysosome together with hyaluronan after CD44 mediated endocytosis of hyaluronic acid?

Also when RHAMM binds hyaluronic acid, they get internalized, will RHAMM also be degraded? Or both CD44 and RHAMM will be transferred back to the cell membrane? Asking for breast cancer cell line...

Do you need the CMV enhancer before the CMV promotor for a proper function of CMV on the gene that follows?

I'm a student and I have to produce a cell line with a knockin for the NRF2 gene with GFP. I have to put a promotor in front of the GFP because the gene will be too far away from the promotor of...

What could be some reasons why unstimulated monocytes are getting activated?

Im doing PBMC isolation -> CD14+ enrichment using magnetic beads -> stimulation setup. My negative control is just cells in cRPMI but they seem to get activated over and over again.
