- the Stratagene '7/7 vüi o transc ⁇ pt ⁇ on "-K ⁇ t was used and the manufacturer's instructions followed. After the" In viti o Transcnption ", a DNase digestion of 15 min was carried out The RNA was
- Phenol / chloroform shaken out and precipitated. The incorporation rate averaged 5 10 cpnV ⁇ g DNA. After a denaturation, the tagged probe was added to ori-modified Membi Separation of the non-incorporated nucleotides
- a Sephadex G50 column ("Nick Columns", Pharmacia) is washed with 10 ml of water. The labeling mixture and 350 ⁇ l of water are pipetted on, the eluate is discarded. 400 ⁇ l of water are added to the column. The eluate contains the marked sample of 1 ⁇ l of the Eluates are taken to determine the specific activity (cpm / ⁇ g DNA). This should be at least 10 8 cpm / ⁇ g of DNA used. The remaining eluate is denatured for 10 min at 95 ° C. and, after briefly cooling on ice, is added to the hybridization tubes
- the nylon membrane with the fixed nucleic acid is placed in a hybridization tube.
- a prehybination is carried out first with sperm semen.
- 10 ml of hybridization solution per 10 cm 2 membrane are added to the hybridization tubes and with 1 ml of freshly denatured herring sperm solution ⁇ g / ml) each 10 ml hybridization solution added.
- the pre-hybridization takes place, like the hybridization, at 68 ° C. in the hybridization oven.
- the pre-hybridization should take at least half an hour, after which the labeled and freshly denatured DNA sample is added.
- the hybridization is carried out overnight
- the membrane is sealed in foil and an X-ray film is placed on the detection literature
