Neuron Fibroblast Coculture Assay to Demonstrate Presynaptic Differentiation Neuron-fibroblast coculture assay to demonstrate presynaptic differentiation. Includes: Preparation of HEK293T cells, Coculture of HEK293T cells and neurons, Immunostaining, Vesicle turnover experiment, Image acquisition and quantitation.
Transfecting Cultured Hippocampal Neurons with an Actin-GFP Plasmid Protocol Protocol describes two transfection methods for expressing GFP-tagged actin in primary neurons. The lipid reagent DOTAP (Roche Diagnostics) method produces actin-GFP-expressing hippocampal neurons that survive well during long periods in culture.
