DARTFISH on BA8 Sections

  • Try two samples: one without suppressor oligos and one with suppv2
  • If sample is good use suppv2 sample to compare with Gwen's RNAscope images of BA8 with 4 genes: OLFM1, PDE1A, SCL17A7, RELN

Protocol

Day 1

  1. Prepare 2 plastic culture dishes with 12x17mm rectangle hole, tweezers, large plastic dish, and 50C hot plate
    • EtOH then UV
  2. Made 40ml 4% PFA at RT
    • 10ml 16% PFA from ampule + 4ml 10X PBS + 26ml nf-H2O
  3. Take out BA8 sections (2 coverslips) from -80C and incubate on 50C hot plate for 3min
  4. Submerge coverslips in 5ml 4% PFA in 6 well culture plate for 15min at 37C
  5. Wash twice with cold 1X PBS by submerging
  6. Aspirate any liquid and attach glass to bottom of culture dish with double-sided adhesive
  7. Add cold 0.25% TX-100 in 2XSSPE and incubate 10min at RT
  8. Wash with cold nf-H2O three times
  9. Add 0.01% Pepsin in 0.1N HCl and incubate for 5min at 37C
    • 2ul 1%Pepsin + 10ul 2N HCl + 188ul H2O
  10. Wash with cold 1X PBS three times
  11. Prepare 2X Reverse Transcription Mix on ice and add
