Hello community,
I have stained my tissue for actin by Phalloidin staining, but now I would like to quantify actin concentrations in my samples. What would be a good method?
Thank you!
Hi Tim Spitters
You can use Fiji and install Fiji macro to quantify actin in your staining. I used a similar method as this paper myself.
Have a look at this paper:
Article A quantitative method to analyse F-Actin distribution in cells
