Dear list,
I have a question concerning using antibody-conjugated fluorescent beads for long-time timelapse confocal imaging. we would like to conjugate fluorescent beads with (rabbit) antibodies, inject them into zebrafish embryos and track over time. The total number of images (z*T) will be about 20x50 =1000. If someone has experience with this kind of experiments, could you tell me: 1. what kind of beads do you use- we would like them to bleach not too fast and 2. could you share a good protocol for bead-antibody conjugation? if you have any tips about injecting beads into fish/xenopus embryo, that will also be great. Any tips will be very much appreciated! regards, Ekaterina -- postdoc Heisenberg lab Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics Pfotenhauerstr.108 D-01307 Dresden Germany fon (lab) +49 351 2102712 |

Hi Ekaterina,
Brant Weinstein and lab have been injecting beads and things into zebrafish embryos for a long time. Check out http://uvo.nichd.nih.gov/science2.html and their papers. Scott Fraser's lab at Caltech may also have injected beads.
