SS18 Split CISH Probe is designed for the qualitative detection of human SS18 gene at 18q11.2 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens by chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH).
Recommend Usage:
The product is ready-to-use. No reconstitution, mixing, or dilution is required. Bring probe to room temperature (18-25°C) and mix briefly before use.
Supplied Product:
Reagent Provided:1. Digoxigenin-labeled polynucleotides targeting sequences mapping in 18q11.2* (chr18:23,109,942-23,262,464) proximal to the SS18 breakpoint region2. Dinitrophenyl-labeled polynucleotides targeting sequences mapping in 18q11.2* (chr18:23,772,255-24,137,169) distal to the SS18 breakpoint region 3. Formamide based hybridization buffer*according to Human Genome Assembly GRCh37/hg19
Storage Instruction:
Store at 2-8°C in an upright position. Return to storage conditions immediately after use.
Note:
The probe is intended to be used in combination with the CISH Implementation Kit 2 (Catalog #: KA5366), which provides necessary reagents for specimen pretreatment and post-hybridization processing.Hybridization signals of digoxigenin-labeled polynucleotides appear dark green distinct dot-shaped (proximal to the SS18 breakpoint region), and dinitrophenyl-labeled polynucleotides appear bright red distinct dot-shaped (distal to the SS18 breakpoint region).Normal situation: In interphases of normal cells or cells without a translocation involving the SS18 gene region, two red/green fusion signals appear.Aberrant situation: One SS18 gene region affected by a translocation is indicated by one separate green signal and one separate red signal. Other signal distribution may be observed in some abnormal samples which might result in a different signal pattern than described above, indicating variant rearrangements. Unexpected signal patterns should be further investigated.
