Biotinylated streptavidin fitc

Manufactured by Vector Laboratories

Biotinylated streptavidin-FITC is a fluorescently labeled protein complex used in various bioassays. Streptavidin, a bacterial protein, binds strongly to biotin, a small molecule. The FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) fluorescent label allows visualization and detection of the bound complex.

The preparations of mitotic metaphase and meiotic pachytene chromosomes were conducted using modified Carnoy’s solution II in accordance with the work of Setiawan et al. [13 (link)]. The Cmcent probe was labeled with Biotin-Nick translation mix (Roche), whereas CmSat162 and CmSat189 were labeled with Dig-Nick translation mix (Roche). The FISH protocol as described by Setiawan et al. [13 (link)] was followed. For the pachytene chromosomes, the hybridization mixtures were added on the chromosome preparations, covered with a 22 x 40-mm cover slip and sealed with rubber cement. The slides were denatured on a hot plate at 80°C for 2–3 min. Finally, the slides were placed in a humidity chamber and incubated at 37°C overnight. Detection solutions of 126 μL [1% BSA in 4x SSC 125 μl + 0.4 μl/ml anti-digoxigenin rhodamine (Roche) 0.5 μL + 0.5 μg/mL biotinylated streptavidin-FITC (Vector Laboratories) 0.5 μl] were used and washed in 2x and 0.1x SSC for 3 min after incubation at 37°C for 30 min. Finally, the slides were counterstained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) in a VectaShield antifade solution (Vector Laboratories).

Chromosome slides were re-fixed in 1% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 min at room temperature. Procedures for FISH were followed as described by Kikuchi et al. (2008) . The 10 µL of hybridization cocktail containing 50% formamide, 10% dextran sulfate, 2 SSC, and 100-500 ng labeling probe was applied to the slide, covered with a coverslip, and then denatured for 3 min at 80 C on a heat block. After incubation at 37 C for one day, the slide was washed and briefly dried. Detection of the biotin-and DIG-labeled probes was performed with biotinylated streptavidin-FITC (Vector Laboratories) and anti-digoxigenin-rhodamine (Roche), respectively. The slides were counter-stained with 5 µg/mL of 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) in a VectaShield antifade mounting medium (Vector Laboratories). All FISH images were captured with an Olympus BX53 fluorescence microscope equipped with a CCD camera (CoolSNAP MYO, Photometrics). The FISH images were processed by MetaMorph, Meta imaging series version 7.8 (Molecular Devices, San Jose) and edited with Photoshop CC 2017 (Adobe).

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.
