Abstract
We have developed a strategy to individually analyse large numbers of small tissue samples by RNA in situ hybridisation. Samples of approximately 0.4 mm x 0.5 mm are processed in rectangular capillary tubes fitted with nylon mesh and glass beads using standard protocols. Eighteen samples can be assayed simultaneously without loss, and background is low. Specifically, mouse Sox2 RNA expression is examined in the chorion of extraembryonic tissue of 7.5 days post-coitum embryos. This technique works equally well for double RNA labelling and could potentially be used for antibody staining of proteins.
我们已经开发出一种策略,通过RNA原位杂交来单独分析大量小组织样本。约0.4 mm x 0.5 mm的样品在矩形毛细管中处理,配有尼龙网和玻璃珠,使用标准协议。可同时测定18个样品而无损失,本底低。具体来说,我们在交配后7.5天的胚胎胚外组织绒毛膜中检测了小鼠Sox2 RNA的表达。该技术同样适用于双RNA标记,并可能用于蛋白质的抗体染色。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
