PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTIONS FOR FISH

note: use for all preparations deionised, bidestilled and sterilized water

RNase A (10 mg/ml)
-dissolve 10 mg in 1ml of 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) and 15 mM NaCl
-put this solution in a corning tube in warm water bath (WWB) for 15 min at 100°C
-cool slowly to room temperature (RT)
-make aliquots of 100 µl
-store at -20°C
-keep 1 tube for direct use at 4°C

500 ml 8% Paraformaldehyde pH 7
-take 40 g of paraformaldehyde and dissolve in 450 ml of water
-put in WWB of 40°C
-add drops of 5 N NaOH, and mix once in a while
-continue by adding NaOH till everything is dissolved
-kool down (RT)
-bring solution to pH 7 with 6 N HCl
-add water to 500 ml
-filter through S&S filter
-store at 4°C

Deionized formamide
-mix 50 ml formamide and 5 g ion exchanger (Amberlite, Sigma)
-stirr for 2 hrs at RT
-filter through Whatman filter n°1
-store at 4°C

Biotinylated goat anti-avidin (0.5mg/ml)
-dissolve 0.5 mg in 1 ml of water
-make aliquots of 100 µl
-store at -20°C

Neutralite Avidin FITC
-dissolve the lyofilized material in 1 ml of 1xPBS
-store at 4°C

Mounting medium for slides
-dissolve 2.42 g Tris and 0.02 g NaN3 in 100ml water
-bring to pH 7.5 with HCl, this results in solution of 0.2 M Tris-HCl and 0.02 % NaN3
-dissolve 2 mg of propidiumiodide (PI) in 2 ml of the above mentioned Tris-buffer, this gives a PI stock of 1 mg/ml
-make aliquots of this PI stock of 10 µl and store at -20°C
-put 0.69 g of di-azo-bicyclo-octane (DABCO) in 50 ml Falcon tube
-add 30 ml of 100% glycerol
-dissolve in WWB of 70°C, solution of 2.3 % DABCO in glycerol
-put 9 ml 2.3 % DABCO in glycerol together with 1 ml 0.2 M tris-HCl 0.02 % NaN3 5 µl PI stock (1 mg/ml)
-mix very well
-store in tubes of 1 ml at -20°C

50% formamide / 12.5 % dextranesulphate / 2xSSC
-dissolve 12.5 g dextranesulphate in 100 ml 50% deionized formamide / 2xSSC
-shake for 3 hrs at 70°C (WWB)
-make aliquots of 1 ml
-store at +4°C
