Hi. I want to do patch clamp on mouse oocyte. I have used poly L-lysine and either matrigel but no attachment was observed. Anybody knows another solution?
We never attach oocytes and I doubt that it may be useful. For patch-clamp you will anyway use excised (most probably, outside-out) patch.
We are using chambers with a bath for oocyte where seal is formed and patch excised, and near it a flow bath for measurement. So, after excision the pipette with the patch is transferred (slowly!) into this flow bath, and oocyte is not interesting for you anymore.
In 2-electrode clamp experiments oocytes are also not attached, just help by electrodes themselves.
