Title: Time lapse videomicroscopy to determine neurotoxicity to amphetamines in a PC12 cell culture during continuous perfusion

Abstract: The rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cell line has become a commonly employed model system for studies of neuronal development. The conditions for cell culture are well established in the group and initial studies on ( Read more... )

(c) the level of apoptosis as determined using flourescent-activated cell sorting. Results of my study will establish the techniques for perfusion studies and cell development in a microincubator.

Good luck, I am trying that at the moment, had to abandon it for a different method though! Staining the cells and retreiving a sufficient number for FACS is a bitch. Best of luck!

Hey mister,
best of luck. I am sure that it will all be fabulous in the end. Cell culture is so much nicer than in vivo models.
If you need anything proof read, email it across and I will only delighted to help.

Thanks chickie, it'll be quite awhile before I'm starting to write up but I very well might take you on that offer : ) As for in vitro vs in vivo when it comes to pharmacology animal models is totally where it's at these days
