The procedure uses the components of the HNPP Fluorescent Detection Set to form a fluorescent precipitate of HNPP (2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid-2’-phenylanilide phosphate) and Fast Red TR at the site of hybridization. This procedure can be used to detect single copy sequences as small as 1 kb on human metaphase chromosomes. - [Read DNA In Situ Hybridization with an Alkaline Phosphatase-Based Fluorescent Detection System Protocol]

Protocol is the first in a set of three describing fluorescent mRNA differential display (FDD or FDDRT-PCR). The method begins with the harvesting of total RNA from the tissue-cultured cells of interest. For other starting materials, such as blood samples, please see Extraction and Purification of RNA from Blood Samples for Fluorescent mRNA Differential Display. - [Read Extraction and Purification of RNA from Tissue-Cultured Cells for Fluorescent mRNA Differential]

Fluorescent dyes absorb light at certain wavelengths and in turn emit their fluorescence energy at a higher wavelength. Each dye has a distinct emission spectrum, which can be exploited for multicolor analysis. eBioscience antibodies are available conjugated to a wide variety of fluorochromes. - [Read Fluorescent Dyes for Flow Cytometric Analysis]
Method assesses cellular mRNA transcripts in tissue sections and cell cultures using unique short anti-sense primers directed against sequences in particular protein(s). The unlabeled synthetic cDNA oligonucleotide primers are extended complementary to a sense mRNA transcript using reverse transcriptase and labeled through incorporation of a fluorescent-labeled dUTP nucleotide base. This procedure provides rapid detection of low abundance mRNA messages that can be related to other cellular.... - [Read Fluorescent In Situ Transcription in Cells and Tissues Protocol]

Most biological specimens are relatively transparent, so details of internal and intracellular morphology are difficult to image in untreated living specimens using simple bright-field techniques. Fluorescence microscopy offers greater advantages and possibilities for increasing contrast and determining the specific localization of molecules in cells. Article outlines the three methods most commonly used to introduce an appropriate label into Drosophila tissue without perturbing the process. - [Read Fluorescent Reagents for Live Cell Imaging and Their Introduction into Cells]

Protocol describes the quantitation of DNA using Hoechst 33258, a fluorescent dye that binds to double-stranded DNA. Fluorometry is simple and more sensitive than spectrophotometry, and allows the detection of nanogram quantities of DNA. The assay can only be used to measure the concentration of DNAs whose sizes exceed ~1 kb, as Hoechst 33258 binds poorly to smaller DNA fragments. - [Read Fluorometric Quantitation of DNA Using Hoechst 33258 Protocol]

Specific molecular components can be efficiently labeled by a combination of three methods: chemical transfection of GFP-fusion constructs, staining of chromosomes with the DNA-specific, fluorescent dye Hoechst 33342, and microinjection of fluorescently conjugated proteins. This procedure provides an example of using all three methods in sequence to label components of living HeLa cells. These methods should be followed in the order presented, but any of them can be omitted when not needed. - [Read Imaging Hoechst-Labeled Chromosomes and Fluorescent Proteins during the Cell Cycle]

Tubulin is polymerized into microtubules by incubating tubulin at 37°C with GTP. A nucleation seed is added when the purpose is to assay microtubule elongation. Tubulin can also be polymerized for the purposes of recycling the tubulin or labeling the microtubules with fluorescently labeled tubulin. Based on the protocol by Timothy Mitchison of Harvard University.
This Microarray Protocol Preparation of Fluorescent DNA Probes from Human mRNA protocol describes the production of probes labeled with the fluorescent dyes, Cy3 and Cy5, following the synthesis of cDNA from human mRNA and the hybridization of the probes to DNA microarrays.
