Sci. STKE, 3 February 2004 PROTOCOLSStimulation of Cells Using EGF-Coated Magnetic BeadsStephan J. Kempiak and Jeffrey E. Segall* Department of Anatomy and Structural Biology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, 1300 Morris Park Avenue, New York, NY 10461, USA. Abstract: The ability to determine the spatial localization of signals can assist in defining the regulation of specific signaling pathways within the cell. Localized application of a stimulus, followed by imaging of various proteins or their phosphorylated products, allows visualization of the propagation scales of responses to the stimulus. To obtain a localized stimulus of epidermal growth factor (EGF), we bound the ligand to magnetic beads, which could be rapidly pulled onto cell surfaces by a magnet. This method allows the spatial analysis of EGF-induced signaling pathways. *Corresponding author. Telephone, 718-430-4237; fax, 718-430-8996; e-mail, segall{at}aecom.yu.edu
