To find out the optimal condition for DNA in situ hybridzation using isotopically labeled DNA probe with the general goal of understanding how localization and organization of N-myc oncogene sequences within the SK-N-BE cell line, present investigation was carried out by ³H-labeled pMF3-SEBI-Nmyc probe in situ hybridization.
The results were as follows:
Specific activities of 2~5×10??? dpm/㎍ of DNA were gained after separation of the ³H labeled DNA by spindialysis using sepharose CL-6B.
The chromosomes and interphase nuclei were hybridization with the labeled probe for 14hr at 41℃ in a hybridization mixture solution: 50% formamide, 2×SSCP(2×SSC, 0.04M NaPO4, pH7.0), 10% dextran sulfate, 100㎍/ml of sonicated salmon sperm DNA and 0.2mg/ml each of bovine serum albumin, Ficoll, and polyvinylphyrrolidone.
Autoradiography was performed by using half-strength Sakura NR-M2 emulsion for 7-14 days at 4℃.
Silver grains were simultaneously detected on Q-banded chromosomes in the same metaphase.
Amplifications of N-myc oncogene were conformed on homogeneous staining regions of chromosome 11 and marker chromosome by statistical analysis.
It was impossible with this technique to localize N-myc oncogene within the interphase nucleus of SK-N-BE cell line.
