5. Molecularbiology and In-situ-Hybridization

5.1. Fluorescence-In-situ-Hybridization (FISH)FISH is a molecularbiological method to detect chromosomal abberrations, such as deletions, translocations, inversions, insertions, amplifications and aneuploidies. Therefore, it is a major tool in cytogenetic, tumor diagnosis and human chromosomal research.

Artificially produced, fluorescence labeled DNA probes bind by complementary base pairing to specific target DNA sequences in situ. This is called hybridization. ProTaqs® jellyFISH probes are used to visualize genomic DNA in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections, in living cells, in metaphase chromosome spreads and interphase nuclei by fluorescence microscopy.

5.1.1. ProTaqs® jellyFISH ProbesThe detection of genetic abberrations with ProTaqs® jellyFISH technology is a powerful aid to guide more confident diagnoses and treatment decisions. quartett‘s expanding product portfolio includes a variety of direct labeled DNA probes for oncology to detect solid tumors and hematologic disorders:

▶ Bi-Color probes (Orange & green signal) ▶ Tri-Color probes (Orange, green and blue signal)

The following fluorophores are used:

Troubleshooting

Problem Potential Cause(s) Recommended Solution

No FISH signals can be detected in the microscope.

• Reflected light shutter closed / stop slider in light path.

• Fluorescent lamp is off. • Wrong fluorescence filter in light path. • Objective out of position. • Phototube in camera position.

• Open shutter / move stop slider out of the light path.

• Switch on fluorescent lamp. • Move correct filter into light path. • Swing objective into light path. • Direct light path to eyepieces.

Hybridization signals become weak after a while.

• Immersion oil soaked in-between slide and coverslip.

• Replace coverslip and DAPI/antifade. Use 24 x 32 mm² coverslip even if only a small region is hybridized.

Diffuse signals. • Preparation not adequately illuminated.

• Focus plane cannot be adjusted properly.

• Antifade layer is too thick for focusing.

• Check optical pathway of microscope. Adjust the UV light properly. Check the lifetime of the UV lamp.

• Use enough immersion oil. Do not mix different immersion oils. Use immersion oil suitable for fluorescence.

• Do not use too much DAPI/antifade. 10 µl per slide (24 mm x 32 mm coverslip) are sufficient.

Weak signals. • Chromosome slide preparation too old. Denaturation of chromosomes not adequate.

• Slides should not be older than two weeks. • Aging, baking or further fixation may inhibit the

hybridization and is not recommended.

High diffuse background in green color channel.

• pH value of washing solutions to low. DAPI intensity is too high resulting in crosstalk to FITC filter.

• Ensure that pH value is between 7.0 and 7.5 of solutions. FITC fluorophores are sensitive to pH below 7.

• Reduce DAPI/antifade concentration. If the recommended measures do not solve the problem, or your problem is not listed, please contact MetaSystems.

The XT ROS1-GOPC probe is designed as a break apart probe. Its green labeled part hybridizes proximal to the ROS1 gene at 6q22, the orange labeled probe hybridizes to the distal region of ROS1. This probe is also suited to analyze the FIG-ROS1 fusion, caused by an interstitial deletion of 240 kb in size. This probe is intended for Tissue-FISH applications and has been optimized for combined use with MetaSystems‘ pretreatment kit. Analytical and performance characteristics are not established.

Troubleshooting

Problem Potential Cause(s) Recommended Solution

No FISH signals can be detected in the microscope.

• Reflected light shutter closed / stop slider in light path.

• Fluorescent lamp is off. • Wrong fluorescence filter in light path. • Objective out of position. • Phototube in camera position.

• Open shutter / move stop slider out of the light path.

• Switch on fluorescent lamp. • Move correct filter into light path. • Swing objective into light path. • Direct light path to eyepieces.

Hybridization signals become weak after a while.

• Immersion oil soaked in-between slide and coverslip.

• Replace coverslip and DAPI/antifade. Use 24 x 32 mm² coverslip even if only a small region is hybridized.

Diffuse signals. • Preparation not adequately illuminated.

• Focus plane cannot be adjusted properly.

• Antifade layer is too thick for focusing.

• Check optical pathway of microscope. Adjust the UV light properly. Check the lifetime of the UV lamp.

• Use enough immersion oil. Do not mix different immersion oils. Use immersion oil suitable for fluorescence.

• Do not use too much DAPI/antifade. 10 µl per slide (24 mm x 32 mm coverslip) are sufficient.

Weak signals. • Chromosome slide preparation too old. Denaturation of chromosomes not adequate.

• Slides should not be older than two weeks. • Aging, baking or further fixation may inhibit the

hybridization and is not recommended.

High diffuse background in green color channel.

• pH value of washing solutions to low. DAPI intensity is too high resulting in crosstalk to FITC filter.

• Ensure that pH value is between 7.0 and 7.5 of solutions. FITC fluorophores are sensitive to pH below 7.

• Reduce DAPI/antifade concentration. If the recommended measures do not solve the problem, or your problem is not listed, please contact MetaSystems.

The XT MET probe detects amplifications in the long arm of chromosome 7. The orange labeled probe is designed to hybridize to the MET locus at 7q31. A green labeled probe hybridizes to the 7cen region and functions as a control probe. This probe is intended for Tissue-FISH applications and has been optimized for combined use with MetaSystems‘ pretreatment kit. Analytical and performance characteristics are not established.
