This video describes the technique for obtaining a single cell from a heterogeneous cell population using laser capture microdissection. The single isolated cell can be used for further genomic studies or cancer research.
Protocol
1. Single-cell Sampling Laser Microdissection NOTE: Single cells will be added to 4.5 µL of cell lysis master mix (components of WGA kit, Table of Materials and Reagents) for WGA. Prepare the cell lysis master mix according to Czyż et al. by mixing 5.0 µL of reaction buffer, 1.3 µL of octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol (10% solution), 1.3 µL of 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl-polyethyl…
