Protocol for fluorescence in situ hybridization of a repetitive DNA probe to human chromosomes in suspension. Hybridization technique which does not need formamide and dextran sulfate. As a model system, we used the repetitive
specific human DNA probe pUC 1.77, labeled it with digoxigenin-11-dUTP by nick-translation, and hybridized it to
metaphase chromosomes in suspension. These chromosomes were isolated by standard techniques from human lymphocytes.
