Protocol for hybridization of high density arrayed Bacterial Artificial Chromosome nylon filter blots with 100 PCR isolated Unigene cDNA inserts, pooled in a combined probe
To a 96 well PCR, thin walled plate containing 99µl of sterile ddH2O per well, add 1µl of Unigene culture taken from the bottom of the glycerol stock wells.
Run BOIL program on the MJ Research Inc. thermocycler. 100°C 5min
Pour off probe/hybe solution volume into radioactive waste.
Wash with preheated 180ml low stringency wash solution, 65°C, 1hr, fast hybe oven rotation.
Low
SSC 1X
SDS 0.1%
Repeat low stringency wash.
Wash with preheated 180ml high stringency wash solution, 65°C, 1hr, fast rotation.
High
SSC 0.1X
SDS 0.1%
Repeat high stringency wash.
Place wet filters on exposed sheet of film.
Seal filter blot with plastic wrap covering to keep wet.
Place filter blots down on film (Kodak BioMax MS, 8326886) into X-Omatic Regular (Kodak) cassette with regular screens. Note: you may add special MS screens for increased sensitivity.
Address positive clones using lightbox and grid overlay (refer to Research Genetics pattern scheme and plate calculation formula) or by CalTech designed computer program.
