Hybridization Histochemistry of Neural Transcripts

Curr Protoc Neurosci. 2018 Jan 22:82:1.3.1-1.3.27. doi: 10.1002/cpns.39.

Abstract

This unit presents protocols to locate RNA transcripts in tissues. Numerous approaches are detailed, including those that use radiolabeled or colorimetric probes. Also, the probes may be modified oligodeoxynucleotides, singly or in pairs, as well as ribonucleic acids. High sensitivity and specificity are obtained, especially with sets of oligodeoxynucleotide pairs. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
