Improvement of the Cell and Molecular Biology Curriculum at Susquehanna University by the Acquisition of a Fluorescent Microscope

该部门正在加强发展，细胞和分子领域 通过购买荧光显微镜来研究生物学。一个主要 显微镜的应用是定位细胞内的蛋白质 使用荧光标记的抗体。这将有助于学习 差异基因表达的概念。免疫荧光 利用特异性抗体， 显示了基因表达的时空特异性。 第二个概念，亚细胞定位的特异性， 细胞内的蛋白质，也可以证明，因为荧光 显微镜可以定位不同的蛋白质在特定的 以一种戏剧性和视觉化的方式展示细胞内的位点。该大学将 支付与奖金相等的金额。

The department is enhancing areas of developmental, cell and molecular biology through the purchase of a fluorescence microscope. A major application of the microscope is localization of proteins within cells using fluorescently labeled antibodies. This will enhance the learning of concepts of differential gene expression. The immunofluorescent localization of proteins in embryos, using specific antibodies, demonstrates the temporal and spatial specificities of gene expression. A second concept, of specificity of subcellular localization of proteins within cells, can also be demonstrated, since the fluorescence microscope allows the localization of different proteins in specific sites within the cell in a dramatic and visual way. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.
