In situ Hybridization (ISH) is a method that allows to localize and detect nucleic acid sequences within structurally intact cells or morphologically preserved tissues sections. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a kind of ISH which uses fluorescent probes binding parts of the chromosome to show a high degree of sequence complementarity.<br>

Introduction In situ Hybridization (ISH) is a method that allows to localize and detect nucleic acid sequences within structurally intact cells or morphologically preserved tissues sections. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a kind of ISH which uses fluorescent probes binding parts of the chromosome to show a high degree of sequence complementarity. ® Creative Diagnostics ® Creative Diagnostics
Principle ISH works by using a tagging cDNA or probe that will hybridize with the target DNA sequence ® Creative Diagnostics ® ® Creative Diagnostics Creative Diagnostics
Probe preparation • Probe is critical to in situ hybridization, and a right probe can help you achieve your goals. • Not only the probe types but also the label of probe should you take into account when you choose a probe for in situ hybridization. ® Creative Diagnostics ® ® Creative Diagnostics Creative Diagnostics
Probe types Four basic probe types ssDNA probes dsDNA probes Stable, easier to work with, more specific, resistant to RNases, better tissue penetration, without self-hybridize Stable, available, easier to obtain RNA probes Synthetic oligonucleotides probes Economical, stable, available, easier to work with, more specific, resistant to RNases, better tissue penetration, better reproducibility. Higher thermal stability, better tissue penetration, more specific, low background noise by RNase ® Creative Diagnostics ® ® Creative Diagnostics Creative Diagnostics

Application In situ hybridization has been widely used for research applications • Morphology: Morphology and population structure of microorganisms • Pathology: Pathogen profiling, abnormal gene expression • Developmental biology: Gene expression profiling in embryonic tissues • Karyotyping and phylogenetic analysis: Unique FISH patterns on individual chromosomes, chromosomal aberrations • Physical mapping: Mapping clones on chromosomes and direct assignment of mapped clones to chromosomal regions associated with heterochromatin or euchromatin ® Creative Diagnostics ® ® Creative Diagnostics Creative Diagnostics
