The Neuropathology Unit employs several protocols of histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, immunofluorescence and TUNEL (apoptosis in situ and in vitro) are performed in tissues such as brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, muscle tissue and livers of laboratory animals, or ...

The Cell Culture Unit employs protocols of isolation and culture of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients and lymphocytes from animal spleen and lymphnodes. In addition, it applies protocols of animal multipotent stem cell and progenitor cell cultures of the Central Nervous Sys...

The Molecular Neuroimmunology Unit applies techniques such as ELISA, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, Western Blot, Immunoblot, extraction and quantification of DNA/RNA with Real-Time PCR in the blood and CSF of patients and in laboratory animals speciments. In addition, this unit applies verified diagn...

The Microscopy Unit is composed of 3 Subunits: A) Optical Microscopy and Fluorescent Microscopy Subunit. It is consisted of: A Carl Zeiss research Microscope equipped with capabilities of optical microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, digital image capturing and image analysis (Grant by Bodosakis F...

The Experimental Neurology Unit – which is a functional compartment with the pathogen-free Animal House – is fully equipped for the experimental models of Cerebral Ischemia (Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion model, MCAO), in vivo stereotactic applications in the rodents brains (rats and mice), var...

The Animal House is a P3 level specified pathogen-free (SPF) facility able to accommodate rodents (mice, rats, hamsters), either wild-type (C57/bl, SJL, Wistar rats, hamsters) or transgenic (GFP transgenic animals). The Unit is capable of supporting transgenic animals that require pathogen-free e...
