20X Decoding to Compare with RNAscope
- Used DRAQ5 after to stain nuclei, cannot use sample again
- BA8 DARTFISH CA12kNov14_V4 with suppv2 and fiducial beads
- 90sec pepsin incubation for minimal tissue degradation
Finding Position to image
Big Plan
- Try to match one of the same locations that Gwen took tile images with RNAscope
- Her tile images are 5.6mm long but since this BA8 has some tissue degradation I don't need to image as much
- Try to find a strip as long as possible
- Use 20X objective for large FOV (584um x 584um)
- Use x-step size of 500um so 84um overlap between positions can be used to stitch them together
Reference Positions using Stage Coordinates
- Top right of tissue: (68.87, 69.21)
- Bottom right of tissue: (68.87, 53.72)
- 9 positions imaged = 4.5mm
Decoding Procedure
- Used 100ul 0.5uM dcProbe1 through 5
- Cycle00
- Cycle01...Cycle05
- DRAQ5
- Added 100ul 5uM DRAQ5 to tissue and incubated 15min at RT
- No wash steps, went straight to imaging
