Abstract
Source: Chan, W., W., R. et al. An Enhanced Green Fluorescence Protein-based Assay for Studying Neurite Outgrowth in Primary Neurons. J. Vis. Exp. (2019).
In this video, we demonstrate an EGFP-based immunofluorescence assay to identify the efficacy of target proteins on the neurite outgrowth of primary cortical neurons. The primary neurons are transfected with a fluorescent protein, EGFP, and a target protein, and then an immunoassay is performed to investigate the effect of the target protein on neurite outgrowth.
