In situ hybridization for the detection of feline interleukin 1 alpha mRNA on the paraffin-embedded section using biotin-labeled probes.

In situ hybridization (ISH) technique with a biotin-labeled probe was established for detecting feline interleukin 1 (IL-1) alpha mRNA in necropsied specimens. Homology between human IL-1 alpha cDNA used as a probe and feline IL-1 alpha mRNA was confirmed by means of dot blot hybridization using the biotin-labeled probe. Hence, we tried by this biotinylated probe to detect mRNA of IL-1 alpha in paraffin-embedded sections. The following results were obtained for the routine procedures: 1) coating slides with poly-L-lysine and/or heating at 60 degrees C at least for 6 hours gave an excellent result for the adhesion of the tissue sections, 2) 10 micrograms/ml solution of proteinase K treatment for 30 minutes or 50 to 100 micrograms/ml solution of proteinase K treatment for 10 to 30 minutes at 37 degrees C gave the good results in the detection of ISH signal, 3) suitable denaturation time of probes at 70 to 90 degrees C was 5 to 15 minutes, and 4) effective hybridization was obtained by incubation for 24 hours at 4 degrees C, for 18 to 24 hours at 25 degrees C or for 5 to 24 hours at 37 degrees C.
