Co-localization Protocols

rmaeda
Hello,

I am currently trying to figure out a method to identify double-labeled BrdU/Zenk and triple-labeled BrdU/Zenk/Hu cells in my images. I found a plug in called "Just another colocalization protocol" and I have attempted to run it a couple times to identify double-labeled cells, but I cannot get it to work. Does anyone have experience with this Plug-in who could help? Or a suggested for another plug-in? Thank you!

Hi rmaeda,

From your description it sounds like you need segmentation, meaning the
fraction of cells labeled with Zenk that also have Hu, rather than
colocalization, which correlates Zenk and Hu labeling on a pixel-by-pixel
basis.  If you are working with tissue culture, I think CellProfiler could
meet your needs with no problem.  That is a free and open source program
designed specifically for that sort of segmentation problem.  The
tutorials available on YouTube are quite excellent.  There are many
segmentation protocols available for ImageJ/Fiji as well; I prefer
CellProfiler largely because it is purpose-built for the application and
quite user-friendly.  Segmentation algorithms have a harder time with
tissue sections but I believe some have succeeded with that application as
well.  

All the best,


Tim

Ah ok! I have never actually worked with CellProfiler before! Thanks for the recommendation!
