Effect of in utero EtOH exposure on the 18S Ribosomal RNA processing in developing brain, and its contribution to FASD

17 Oct 2021

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a leading cause of neurodevelopmental disability. This poster, presented by Dr. Nune Darbinian-Sarkissian, clinical-research lab manager, Temple University, at the SelectScience Neuroscience Summit 2021, summarizes the results of a study into the effects of fetal EtOH exposure on 18S ribosomal RNA processing. Download now to explore novel findings on the role of in utero EtOH exposure on ribosome biogenesis, and contributions to FASD.

Western BlottingWestern blotting equipment is used to transfer and identify specific proteins within a sample, reveal protein modifications, as well as give a semi-quantitative estimation of their concentration. Western blotting equipment includes all apparatus necessary to transfer proteins from gel to membrane and subsequent processing steps. Protein transfer can be performed by electroblotting with wet, semi-dry and dry transfer systems onto nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes. Blocking, washing and labeling of membranes follows, involving buffers, blocking reagents, blotting / incubation trays, labeling reagents, immunoblotting assays, antibodies and conjugates. Automated equipment for these steps is available to accelerate your lab workflow. Finally, detection and imaging of proteins can be conducted using gel documentation and imaging systems.
