An improved method for chromosome banding after fluorescence in situ hybridization: use of a tetramethylrhodhamine-conjugated BrdU antibody
Abstract
A method for high quality chromosome banding after in situ hybridization with biotinylated probes has been developed. Fluoresceine-conjugated avidin is used for probe detection, while chromosome banding is performed with a tetramethylrodhamine-conjugated anti-BrdU antibody. In this way probe localization and chromosome identification can be performed simultaneously simply by changing the incidental light wavelength.
