Cell biologists use a wide variety of techniques from many disciplines to explore the world of the cell and its
structure and function. Because of this diversity, it is important to have a reputable resource for methods to

In 1896, E.B. Wilson published his classic textbook The Cell in Development and Inheritance, summarizing the 60 years of
biological research since Schleiden and Schwann formulated their cell theory in 1839. He concluded that the key to all ultimate
biological problems must “in the last analysis be sought in the cell.” At the turn of the century biologists had already, by analyzing a
multitude of different organisms, arrived at an understanding that the basic design of cells in all living organisms was similar. This
startling insight was derived from careful observation of cellular behavior and structure using such simple tools as light microscopy
combined with different staining methods. In this century, biochemists and molecular geneticists have probed into the secrets of
cellular metabolism and of gene structure and function, and unraveled many of the underlying principles. While these approaches
have been gloriously successful, one consequence of their powerful reductionism has been that biochemists and molecular biologists,
more or less by necessity, lost track of the cell. Cell biologists, on the other hand, have continued to use microscopic methods,
powerfully supplemented by electron microscopy, and cell biology has become a discipline of cell and tissue morphology. Moreover,
moving against the tide, many cell biologists emphasized diversity even as molecular biologists were unfolding the principles of
biological unity. Thus, until the 1970s cell biology did not occupy center stage in biological research. In the last two decades of this
century, the pendulum has been swinging back, and the cell has once again come to the fore. It is obvious that a more comprehensive
analysis of cellular functions is necessary to understand the basic design of how molecular processes function in the cell. Little is
known about how cells manage to generate and maintain their complex organization in different cell types and tissues. However,
these questions are now attracting increasing attention in biomedical research.
The experimental complexity facing molecular cell biology requires a multitude of different techniques. One unique feature of the
new generation of cell biology methods is that they must enable the investigator to study function in the correct cellular context. This
can be done by reconstituting the cellular context in vitro, as when one couples the translation of secretory proteins with translocation
across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, or by performing detailed investigations in living cells, such as analysis of the
dynamic behavior of proteins biosynthetically labeled with derivatives of green fluorescent protein. Obviously, the new
methodologies are a combination of biochemical, genetic, and morphological techniques. In addition, considerable input derives from
new instrumentation in microscopy and spectroscopy that is revolutionizing cell biological research. Processes that only 10 years ago
seemed inaccessible are now yielding to experimental attack.
It is in this setting that Current Protocols in Cell Biology, available in both print and CD-ROM formats, is most welcome. The editors
of the manual have done an admirable job of compiling the relevant cell biological methods. Moreover, one essential feature of the
Current Protocols series is that the manuals are continually updated and expanded, since the development of effective methodology
requires a great deal of feedback. Regular updates of new and modified techniques are especially important in a dynamic field such as
cell biology in order to keep investigators in touch with continuously changing and improving methods.

The universe of cell biology is expanding. One way to sense this expansion is to attend a major meeting dedicated to the field, such as
that of the American Society for Cell Biology. The poster sessions allow one to take a leisurely stroll through the exhibits and, even
without stopping to look at any single poster, get a very good visceral feel for the scope of cell biology. For those who have taken
such a stroll periodically over the past decade or two, the dynamic nature of cell biology and its explosive growth have been
obvious—there is simply more and more about more and more. Once upon a time, poster sessions were dominated by images of cells
fixed (literally) and captured in black and white by electron microscopists. While the electron microscope continues to contribute to
our understanding of cell architecture, more recent poster sessions have witnessed the emergence of row upon row of television
monitors where one can view computer-enhanced video images of living cells captured in the not-so-living colors of rhodamine red,
fluorescein yellow, and the characteristic green that gives the now-famous fluorescent protein its name. Freeze-etching has been
joined by freeze-frame. Furthermore, interspersed among the television sets and whirring VCRs are posters that document detailed
molecular characterizations of a vast array of biochemical components that comprise the diverse cell types being investigated. Other
posters record the latest genes to fall to the seemingly relentless onslaught of the cloners and sequencers, and still others offer
functional insights obtained by knocking out these genes. Every point of the compass has its blot! Genetic studies in yeast, flies, and
worms abound on the one hand, and on the other, a growing number of the presentations form bridges between basic research in cell
biology and the practice of clinical medicine.
Clearly, the scientists who today identify themselves as cell biologists are a diverse community, and great value resides in that
diversity. Borders that once separated research disciplines have faded, and cell biologists have come to appreciate that no single
approach in isolation will open the profound mysteries of the cell. New techniques and new technologies come alongside the tried-
and-true as the tools of cell biology expand along with the field. It is this changing face of cell biology and its methodologies that
represented the greatest challenge in pulling together Current Protocols in Cell Biology. A foundational question addressed by the
editors of this work involved where to draw the boundaries around the field of cell biology. Our decision has been to refuse to draw
such boundaries—they are artificial at best and counterproductive at worst. Instead, we will attempt in this effort to match the
diversity of our field. We will include “classic” methods that remain valuable tools for the modern cell biologist and will also provide
protocols that we believe are destined to become tomorrow's classics.
There is no reason to suspect that the expanding universe of cell biology will cease expanding anytime soon. Indeed, part of the thrill
of being a cell biologist is being constantly surprised by new innovations and discoveries. As a consequence, however, our
community needs a reliable and user-friendly source of laboratory methods that is as expansive as the field itself. To begin to address
this need, we have assembled a series of protocols that cover many aspects of cell biology. While this set of methods is incomplete, it
can be considered a “starter toolbox” that includes many of the most versatile and essential instruments of our trade. This collection
will expand as regular quarterly supplements are added to Current Protocols in Cell Biology. Through these supplements, the editors
will endeavor to make the toolbox increasingly more useful over time. Because of the rapid pace of innovation and discovery in cell
biology, we are expecting that our efforts will be met with some degree of very pleasant frustration as we strive to keep up with this
fast-moving and exciting field.

How to Use This Manual
Format and Organization
This publication is available in both looseleaf and CD-ROM format. For looseleaf purchasers, a binder is provided to accommodate
the growth of the manual via the quarterly update service. This format allows easy insertion of new pages, units, and chapters that are
added. The index and table of contents are updated with each supplement. CD-ROM purchasers receive a completely new disc every
quarter and should dispose of their outdated discs. The material covered in the two versions is identical.
Subjects in this manual are organized by chapters, and protocols are contained in units. Protocol units, which constitute the bulk of
the book, generally describe a method and include one or more protocols with listings of materials, steps and annotations, recipes for
unique reagents and solutions, and commentaries on the “hows” and “whys” of the method. Other units present more general
information in the form of explanatory text with no protocols. Overview units contain theoretical discussions that lay the foundation
for subsequent protocols. Other discussion units present more general information.
Page numbering in the looseleaf version reflects the modular arrangement by unit; for example, page 1.2.3 refers to Chapter 1 (Cell
Culture), UNIT 1.2 (Media for Culture of Mammalian Cells), page 3 of that particular unit.
Many reagents and procedures are employed repeatedly throughout the manual. Instead of duplicating this information, cross-
references among units are used and recipes for common reagents are supplied in APPENDIX 2A. Cross-referencing helps to
ensure that lengthy and complex protocols are not overburdened with steps describing auxiliary procedures needed to prepare raw
materials and analyze results.
Introductory and Explanatory Information
Because this publication is first and foremost a compilation of laboratory techniques in cell biology, we have included explanatory
information where required to help readers gain an intuitive grasp of the procedures. Some chapters begin with special overview units
that describe the state of the art of the topic matter and provide a context for the procedures that follow. Chapter and unit
introductions describe how the protocols that follow connect to one another, and annotations to the actual protocol steps describe
what is happening as a procedure is carried out. Finally, the Commentary that closes each protocol unit describes background
information regarding the historical and theoretical development of the method, as well as alternative approaches, critical parameters,
troubleshooting guidelines, anticipated results, and time considerations. All units contain cited references and many indicate key
references to inform users of particularly useful background reading, original descriptions, or applications of a technique.
Protocols
Many units in the manual contain groups of protocols, each presented with a series of steps. One or more basic protocols are
presented first in each unit and generally cover the recommended or most universally applicable approaches. Alternate protocols are
provided where different equipment or reagents can be employed to achieve similar ends, where the starting material requires a
variation in approach, or where requirements for the end product differ from those in the basic protocol. Support protocols describe
additional steps that are required to perform the basic or alternate protocols; these steps are separated from the core protocol because
they might be applicable to other uses in the manual, or because they are performed in a time frame separate from the basic protocol
steps.
Reagents and Solutions
Reagents required for a protocol are itemized in the materials list before the procedure begins. Many are common stock solutions,
others are commonly used buffers or media, while others are solutions unique to a particular protocol. Recipes for the latter solutions
http://www.mrw.interscience.wiley.com/cp/cpcb/articles/cbpref/sect1.html (1 of 2)20/01/2005 7:13:13 AM
How to Use This Manual
are provided in each unit, following the protocols (and before the commentary) under the heading Reagents and Solutions. It is
important to note that the names of some of these special solutions might be similar from unit to unit (e.g., RIPA buffer) while the
recipes differ; thus, make certain that reagents are prepared from the proper recipes. On the other hand, recipes for commonly used
stock solutions and buffers are provided once in APPENDIX 2A. These universal recipes are cross-referenced parenthetically in the
materials lists rather than repeated with every usage.
Commercial Suppliers
Throughout the manual, we have recommended commercial suppliers of chemicals, biological materials, and equipment. In some
cases, the noted brand has been found to be of superior quality or it is the only suitable product available in the marketplace. In other
cases, the experience of the author of that protocol is limited to that brand. In the latter situation, recommendations are offered as an
aid to the novice in obtaining the tools of the trade. Experienced investigators are therefore encouraged to experiment with
substituting their own favorite brands.
Addresses, phone numbers, and facsimile numbers of all suppliers mentioned in this manual are provided in the SUPPLIERS
APPENDIX.
Safety Considerations
Anyone carrying out these protocols may encounter the following hazardous or potentially hazardous materials: (1) radioactive
substances, (2) toxic chemicals and carcinogenic or teratogenic reagents, and (3) pathogenic and infectious biological agents. Check
the guidelines of your particular institution with regard to use and disposal of these hazardous materials. Although cautionary
statements are included in the appropriate units, we emphasize that users must proceed with the prudence and precaution associated
with good laboratory practice, and that all materials must be used in strict accordance with local and national regulations.
Animal Handling
Many protocols call for use of live animals (usually rats or mice) for experiments. Prior to conducting any laboratory procedures with
live subjects, the experimental approach must be submitted in writing to the appropriate Institutional Animal Care and Use
Committee (IACUC) or must conform to appropriate governmental regulations regarding the care and use of laboratory animals.
Written approval from the IACUC (or equivalent) committee is absolutely required prior to undertaking any live-animal studies.
Some specific animal care and handling guidelines are provided in the protocols where live subjects are used, but check with your
IACUC or governmental guidelines to obtain more extensive information.
Reader Response
Most of the protocols included in this manual are used routinely in the authors' laboratories. These protocols work for them; to make
them work for you they have annotated critical steps and included critical parameters and troubleshooting guides in the commentaries
to most units. However, the successful evolution of this manual depends upon readers' observations and suggestions. Consequently, a
self-mailing reader-response survey can be found at the back of the manual (and is included with each supplement); we encourage
readers to send in their comments.
