Obtaining a Single-Cell Suspension from Frozen Rat Brain Tissue
Source: Rubio, F. J., et. al. Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) and Gene Expression Analysis of Fos-expressing Neurons from Fresh and Frozen Rat Brain Tissue. J. Vis. Exp. (2016) This video demonstrates the dissociation of frozen rat brain tissue into a single-cell suspension using enzymatic digestion and mechanical trituration. The prepared cells are fixed and permeabilized with ethanol for downstream applications like flow cytometry or gene expression analysis.
