I am working on traumatic brain injury in mouse model.. I want to transfer the "injured brain lysate" in the cell culture to check the spreading activity of stress marker in cell line... suggestions are requested
Markus Thank you for interst.... I want to add the injured brain lysate to imortalized cell line to check the spreading activities of the stated markers in cell culture.....
The high fat content of the brain lysate can kill cells in culture. You could try to the soluble fraction of the lysate first. After centrifugation >20000g for min. 15min remove the insoluble pellet and the fatty overlay. If this fraction is active, you can fractionate further ( for proteins etc.). If not you could try the soluble fraction mixed with the pellet. You could also think of separating grey and white matter, grey matter reduces the problem.
