Laser Capture Microdissection System
Laser capture microdissection A laser capture microdissection system, complete with fluorescence capabilities, is available for all Medical Center faculty researchers by the Center for Psychiatric Neuroscience (CPN). The system was developed by the National Institutes of Health through an intensive collaboration between bioengineering and cancer pathology groups. It provides a method for capturing a single cell or pure multiple cell types from specific microscopic regions of tissue sections, permitting scientists to dramatically increase the sensitivity and accuracy of downstream biological assays (gene expression arrays, quantitative PCR, Western blot, etc.) on discrete populations of cells. The CPN will provide training in the operation of the LCM. For more information on a training session and to register to use the LCM, send an e-mail to Anne Dautenhahn (amdautenhahn@psychiatry.umsmed.edu). www.UMC.edu Home \| UMCNews \| GroupWise eMail \| Help Desk © 2005 University of Mississippi Medical Center, www.umc.edu
