Abstract
In utero electroporation (IUE) enables labeling and manipulating specific types of cells by introducing DNA plasmids with desired promoters. After the surgery, mouse brains are fixed at any stage and analyzed after staining using specific antibodies. Here, we describe the flow of the IUE experiment from the preparation to microscopic observations.
