This protocol describes a method for reverse transcriptase (RT) in situ PCR. In situ PCR differs from PCR in situ hybridization in the inclusion of a reporter molecule in the amplification step. The two steps of RT in situ PCR that differ from in situ PCR are overnight digestion in RNase-free DNase that is performed after protease digestion, and an RT step, prior to in situ PCR. - [Read Reverse Transcriptase In Situ PCR Protocol]

Fixation can mask epitopes. However, it is often possible to re-expose them using a gentle incubation with proteases, which removes obstructing structures and allows antibody access, as described here. Many proteases can be used for this procedure, including very crude preparations of proteases, such as pronase. However, using a better-characterized protease, such as trypsin, allows a more controlled reaction and better comparison between experiments. - [Read Unmasking Hidden Epitopes with Proteases Protocol]
Histone H1 Kinase Activity Assay Protocol. This protocol describes assaying kinase activity of a putative kinase using Histone H1 as the substrate. Histone H1 is the canonical kinase substrate in this type of assay. Phosphorylation of Histone H1 is assessed by SDS-Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography.
