ISH Template Information Form

Incomplete forms may result in a significant delay to the in situ hybridization.

Shipping Information

  Clearly label each tube with template name, sense/anti-sense and concentration.
  If possible, use tubes with screw top caps instead of snap caps in order to prevent leakage during transport.
Contact your sales associate by email or phone prior to shipping materials to Phylogeny.
Include a digital copy of this form in your email and include a hard copy of this form in the shipping package.
  Gene templates do NOT need to be cool (wet ice) or frozen (dry ice) during shipment.

Template Information

Templates should be prepared in accordance with the “Preparation of Linear Template from Circular Plasmid DNA” protocol. Templates prepared in other manners will not be accepted unless previously discussed with your sales associate. Please verify the orientation of templates by sequencing.
PCR Fragments: Ligations of promoters to PCR fragments, such as Ambion's Lig'nScribe Promoter Addition Kit are also acceptable templates. In this case, simply provide the PCR product size, the polymerases to use for each template, the DNA concentrations and a picture of the agarose gel with molecular weight markers with sizes indicated. Send 1 µg of each PCR template in 25 µl TE pH 8.0.
Cloned Genes: Send 10 µg of linearized sense and 10 µg of the linearized antisense templates. Purify the templates by doing a single phenol/chloroform extraction and a precipitation with 0.3 M sodium acetate and 2 volumes of ethanol. Redissolve to 1 µg/µl in TE pH 8.0 and mail us the templates.
Probe Size: Probes can range from 200 bp to 1.5 kb; probes of 600 to 800 bp are typically very successful.

Linear Gel Image

Please include a picture of a gel of the sense and antisense template restriction digests stained with ethidium bromide. Please include: molecular weight markers in one lane, undigested plasmid DNA in one lane and digested DNA in one lane.

Expression Information

Critical to Phylogeny’s in situ hybridization is an understanding of the expression level of the gene. The most useful information is from a radiometric Northern. If available, please provide an image of a radiometric northern and indicate the time of exposure. If Northern data is not available, please provide any information that you have on expression level that was measured by RT-PCR methods, such as number of cycles or relative expression levels measured by quantitative PCR. If you have detected the protein by antibody staining or some other method, please include these details as well.
