No Wash FISH
Microscopy
First I'll test whether the samples can be taken directly to the microscope, with the hybridization buffer still on. This will produce a higher background noise, but will hopefully still result in strong areas of signal distinguishable from the background. Since this is just a test, I'll only use the positive control (sample D, Cot1-488) for now, and I'll investigate the others pending successful trial.
Sample D

As expected, the background is definitely higher, but the signal is also stronger. It will be interesting to do a wash on these samples, and then examine them after. Given the success, I'm going to return the positive control to the incubator and I'll take snapshots of the other 3 samples.
Sample A
Sample A is the Dystrophin gene labeled with Alexa 488. The sample has not been washed yet, but was prepared in the same manner I normally prepare samples.

Most cells showed no signal above the high background. However, several samples did show possible hybridization. From the Beliveau protocol I read that the success should be closer to 90%.
Sample B
Sample B is the Dystrophin gene labeled with Alexa 546. The sample has not been washed yet, but was prepared in the same manner I normally prepare samples.

Most cells showed no signal above the high background (ex. field 3). However, several samples (field 1 and 2) did show possible hybridization. From the Beliveau protocol I read that the success should be closer to 90%.
