Multiplex fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) enables you to assay multiple targets and visualize colocalized signals in a single specimen. Using spectrally distinct fluorophore labels for each hybridization probe, this approach gives you the power to resolve several genetic elements or multiple gene expression patterns through multicolor visual display.
We offer Invitrogen™ FISH Tag™ detection kits for routine analysis, and Invitrogen™ SuperBoost™ kits for very rare or low-abundance targets.
FISH Tag detection kits provide the labeling reagents and buffers you need to generate optimal FISH probes for multiplex assays. In a simple protocol, nick translation (for DNA probes) or in vitro transcription (for RNA probes) is used to enzymatically incorporate amine-modified nucleotides, followed by chemical labeling with amine-reactive Invitrogen™ Alexa Fluor™ dyes. |  Multiplex FISH detection using FISH Tag RNA and tyramide signal amplification combined in a whole mount Drosophila embryo. The expression of Krüppel (magenta) and rhomboid (orange) were detected using FISH Tag RNA Kits with Alexa Fluor 647 dye and Alexa Fluor 555 dye or the Multicolor Kit. The expression of dpp was performed with a fluorescein-labeled RNA probe (ChromaTide fluorescein-12-UTP, and detected with an anti-fluorescein/Oregon Green dye antibody (rabbit IgG fraction, horseradish peroxidase conjugate) and Alexa Fluor 499 tyramide reagent. |
With sensitivity 10 to 200 times that of standard ICC/IHC/ISH methods, SuperBoost kits offer superior signal amplification and definition and clarity for high-resolution imaging of low-abundance targets. Combining the brightness of Alexa Fluor dyes with trusted poly-HRP mediated tyramide signal amplification, SuperBoost generates sensitivity 2 to 10 times above standard solutions like Invitrogen™ TSA™, or TSA™ PLUS reagents. For imaging that demands definition and clarity, bring your targets out of the background with SuperBoost signal amplification kits. |

| In situ hybridization of a-satellite probes to human chromosomes 1, 15 and 17 detected by tyramide signal amplification.
α-Satellite probes to chromosomes 1, 15 and 17 were labeled by nick translation with biotin-11-dUTP,
ChromaTide Texas Red-12-dUTP and
ChromaTide Oregon Green 488-5-dUTP, respectively. Following simultaneous hybridization of all three probes, the biotinylated chromosome 1 probe was detected with HRP–streptavidin conjugate and
Alexa Fluor 546 tyramide. HRP activity from this first TSA detection step was then quenched by treatment with 1% hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes. Lastly, the Invitrogen™ Oregon Green™ 488 dye–labeled chromosome 17 probe was detected with
anti-fluorescein/Oregon Green antibody followed by HRP-conjugated goat anti–mouse IgG antibody and Invitrogen™ Alexa Fluor™ 594 tyramide. HRP activity from this second TSA detection step was then quenched by treatment with 1% hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes. The Invitrogen™ Texas Red™ dye–labeled chromosome 15 probe was then detected with
rabbit anti–Texas Red antibody followed by HRP-conjugated goat anti–rabbit IgG antibody and Invitrogen™ Alexa Fluor™ 488 tyramide. After counterstaining with
Hoechst 33258, the images were acquired using filters appropriate for DAPI, FITC, TRITC and the Texas Red dye.
| Fluorescence in situ hybridization detected by tyramide signal amplification.
Chromosome spreads were prepared from the cultured fibroblast cell line MRC-5 and hybridized with a biotinylated a-satellite probe specific for chromosome 17. The probe was generated by nick translation in the presence of
ChromaTide biotin-11-dUTP. For detection by TSA, hybridized chromosome spreads were labeled with HRP–streptavidin and Alexa Fluor 488 tyramide (left panel) or with HRP–streptavidin and Invitrogen™ Alexa Fluor™ 546 tyramide (right panel). After counterstaining with
DAPI, images were obtained using filters appropriate for DAPI, FITC or TRITC.
