Do you have a protocol for separation of ECM?

14 June 2014 1 9K Report

I need to separate the extracellular matrix (mesoglea) of marine polyps (Aurelia auritas' scyphistoma and Clava multicornis).

If somebody has worked with small marine organisms, please share your protocol/procedure, please!

Massimo Alfano

I have just published a paper about isolating ECM from human colon (you can download it from my Researchgate page). Have a look at the paper, you might have few hints.
