NEURON CULTURES ON COVERSLIPS???

[Gary G. Wilson]

poly-l-lysine at 0.1 mg/ml left on for a couple of hours prior to
plating with cells seems to work pretty well.  The cells remain stuck
down even during rapid perfusion of the bathing media.

Don't forget to wash the polylysine off well before putting the cells on 
the coversips though.
