In situ hybridization based on the mechanism of hybridization chain reaction (HCR) enables multiplexed quantitative mRNA imaging in diverse sample types. Third-generation in situ HCR (v3.0) provides automatic background suppression throughout the protocol, dramatically enhancing performance and ease of use. In situ HCR v3.0 supports two quantitative imaging modes: (1) qHCR imaging for analog mRNA relative quantitation with subcellular resolution and (2) dHCR imaging for digital mRNA absolute quantitation with single-molecule resolution. Here, we provide protocols for qHCR and dHCR imaging in mammalian cells on a slide.
基于杂交链式反应(HCR)机制的原位杂交使在多种样本类型中进行多重定量 mRNA 成像成为可能。第三代原位 HCR(v3.0)在整个方案中提供自动背景抑制,极大地提高了性能和易用性。原位 HCR v3.0 支持两种定量成像模式:(1)qHCR 成像,用于具有亚细胞分辨率的模拟 mRNA 相对定量,(2)dHCR 成像,用于具有单分子分辨率的数字 mRNA 绝对定量。本文提供了在载玻片上进行哺乳动物细胞 qHCR 和 dHCR 成像的方案。
