I am dissociating mouse sympathetic ganglia using 30min in papain followed by 30min in collagenase. Can I add these two enzymes together? Maybe put the cells 30min in papain and collagenase together and save some time?
I work on Drosophila ganglia, but have used this combination simultaneously and successfully for dissociation. The protocol that I use is below. I don't see why it wouldn't work for mammalian ganglia.
