Abstract
This unit describes the use of several different fluorescence methods for labeling yeast cells. It includes methods to label the vacuole, the actin cytoskeleton, and chitin deposits on cell walls (bud scars), as well as methods for visualizing specific proteins in live cells with GFP chimeras and in fixed cells by immunofluorescence.
