'''A. Preparation of labeled cDNA probe'''
* [[Image:Krylov_FISH-TSA_protocol.pdf |Data mapping document]]
 
We always use the cDNA probe of approx. 1000 bp in length depending on type of cDNA. Any repete sequences in the probe could make a strong background using TSA.
 
- prepare at least 2 μg of amplificate of cDNA from reverse transcription reaction by PCR and specific primers
 
- purify the amplificate through agarose gel and column of Gel extraction kit (QIAGEN)
 
- label this cDNA by Digoxigenine-11 dUTP alkali stable (Roche) and Deca Label Labelling kit (Fermentas) – labelling by random  primers. We always label 1μg of cDNA for 20 hours. After this time we purify the probe with column of gel extraction kit (QIAGEN) without using an agarose. Just mix probe with binding buffer. Elution is done with 50 μl of sterile water. We always use 2 μl of probe in 50 μl reaction per one slide.
