Abstract

PC12 cells serve as a secretory cell model, especially suitable for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying fusion pore kinetics in regulated exocytosis of dense-core vesicles (DCVs). In this chapter, we describe a series of PC12 cell culture procedures optimized for real-time functional assays such as single-vesicle amperometry. In addition, these conditions have been widely used for single-cell biochemical assays such as the proximity ligation assay with immunostaining.
