After the plasmid vector was linearized, digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled antisense and sense cRNA probes were prepared using T7 and SP6 RNA polymerases with a DIG RNA Labeling Kit (Boehringer Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Olfactory rosette tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) at 4 °C for 72 h, and then embedded in Histosec. Then, approximately 5-μm thick sections were prepared. Serial paraffin sections were digested with 20 μg/mL proteinase K in 10 mmol/L Tris-HCl, 1 mmol/L EDTA (pH 8.0) for 20 min at 37 °C, and then treated with 0.2 mol/L HCl for 10 min and 0.25% acetic anhydrate in 0.1 mol/L triethanolamine-HCl (pH 8.0) for 10 min. Hybridization and immunohistochemical detection for hybridized signals were performed using the previously reported method (Kudo et al., 1999 (link)). To assess the specificity of the in situ hybridization signals, two negative control procedures were performed. First, RNA was digested in randomly chosen sections with 20 μg/mL RNase A for 30 min at 37 °C prior to in situ hybridization. Second, digoxygenin-labeled sense RNA probes were hybridized in parallel to antisense RNA probes in all cases.

In situ Hybridization of Laminin Chain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In situ hybridization for each laminin chain was performed as described previously [20 (link)]. Briefly, to make complementary RNA (cRNA), DNA fragments were amplified from cDNA of adult rat pituitary using gene-specific primers (for primer information, see [20 (link)]). A BLAST search to verify the specificity of probe sequences confirmed that each probe sequence was specific to the target gene. DNA fragments were ligated into the pGEM-T vector (Promega, Fitchburg, WI, USA) and cloned. Gene-specific antisense or sense digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled cRNA probes were made by using a Roche DIG RNA labeling kit (Roche Diagnostics, Penzberg, Germany). DIG-labeled cRNA probe hybridization was performed at 55°C for 16–18 hr. Each mRNA type was visualized with alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-DIG antibody (Roche Diagnostics) by using 4-nitroblue tetrazolium chloride and 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate (Roche Diagnostics). Sections treated with DIG-labeled sense RNA probes were used as a negative control to confirm probe specificity. No signal was detected in any sense probes. Sections were observed using an AX-80 microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
