Does anyone know a good method for preparing nuclear extracts from rat
brain. I will be using western blotting to look at CREB and c-fos.

Sonicating the cells in a buffer containing protease inhibitors, then
centrifuging out the nuclei and cell membranes usually works.  Any other
method that produces enough shearing will probably do ok, maybe repeatedly
aspirating through a real small gauge needle would work for small amounts if
you don't have a sonicator.
