H. Fidlerova et al., 2 SIMPLE PROCEDURES FOR RELEASING CHROMATIN FROM ROUTINELY FIXED CELLS FOR FLUORESCENCE IN-SITU HYBRIDIZATION, Cytogenetics and cell genetics, 65(3), 1994, pp. 203-205
We describe two methods for releasing chromatin from routinely harvest
ed and fixed cells. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization with comb
inations of probes from the HLA class II region, we show that good sig
nals can be obtained on free chromatin fibers enabling determination o
f relationships between closely adjacent or overlapping probes.
