Can anyone recommend the "best" protocols/references for obtaining good fractionation of cells without cytosoplasmic contamination of the nuclear fraction and vice versa? Also, what are the best methods to determine whether or not there is contamination from one fraction with the other? Thanks much in advance. John Pawlowski johnp@qadas.com .
