ABP Trial Run[edit]

Back to Calendar

This is a trial run of the Allen Brain Project RNAFISH. I will be using RBFOX3 and FOXP2 as probes, since RBFOX3 is non-specific and FOXP2 is layer specific, giving me one general signal and one localized signal as comparisons.

Tissue Fixation[edit]

  1. Fix slides/sections in freshly prepared 4% paraformaldehyde/PBS depc, pH 7.2-7.4 at room temp. for 30 minutes
  2. Wash 2x in 2xSSPE for 5 minutes each
  3. Permeabilize in 0.6% Triton X-100/2xSSPEdepc for 30 minutes, room temp
  4. Wash 3 x 5 minutes in 2xSSPE
  5. Treat slides for 10 minutes/room temp in acetylation buffer
    1. Make the buffer just before use
  6. Wash 3x 5 mins 2xSSPE
  7. Dehydrate in 30, 50, 70, 100, 100 ethanols 2 mins ea.
    1. Make solutions from absolute ethanol and depc/H20*.
  8. Dry in oven at 50-65C.
