Cell Line RNA FISH
Dye Labeling
Since I am planning on doing RNA FISH using CUX2 and GAD1, and since I would like to use Alexa 488 and 594, the best dyes I think, I need to do dye labeling. I should be able to use the Alexa dyes, since these are the probes I ordered from IDT.
- Warm DMSO and bicarbonate labeling buffer and nuclease free water to room temperature
- Add 5 uL DNA and 3 uL of sodium bicarbonate buffer
- Denature samples for 5 minutes at 95C, then snap cool using ice box
- Dissolve 1 vial of reactive dye in 2 uL solvent; vortex ≥10 seconds
- dye cannot be saved for later use. Use immediately!
- Add 1 uL dye to sample
- Incubate in the dark for 1 hour
- Add 5 uL 3M NaOAc and 40 uL nfH20 to sample
- Recommend column purification after incubation-Centri-Sep Column
