    Abstract

    DNA microarrays pose specific challenges to those studying the central and peripheral nervous systems. Probably the most important involve difficulty in obtaining appropriate tissue for study, as well as the problems posed by cellular heterogeneity. This unit describes advances in the available technologies and provides protocols for cDNA microarray hybridization, including the use of PCR amplicons. Protocols are also provided for the two major methods for limiting cellular heterogeneity by study of RNA from single cell populations in high-throughput microarray studies, laser capture microdissection (LCM), and automated fluorescent cell sorting (FACS-array).
