Comparison of PRINS, in Situ PCR, and ISH for Localization of DNA Target Sequences in Situ<br />

PRINS In situ PCR ISH<br />

Main application Chromosome and gene identification and Detection of altered genes or foreign As for PRINS and in situ PCR, and<br />

quantification in cells and chromosomes (e.g., viral) DNA in paraffin-embedded localization of DNA sequences to study<br />

for use in clinical and cancer genetics and tissue section for use in molecular 3D organization of the interphase nucleus<br />

preimplantation genetic diagnosis pathology<br />

Crucial steps Primer diffusion to DNA target Primer diffusion to DNA target Probe diffusion to DNA target<br />

(see Fig. 1) Primer hybridization Primer hybridization Probe hybridization<br />

Primer elongation and DNA labeling<br />

Primer elongation (and DNA labeling)<br />

by Taq polymerase by Taq polymerase<br />

PCR while limiting diffusion of newly<br />

synthesized DNA products<br />

Procedure<br />

Specimen, fixative, and Ch: Methanolacetic acid (31) Ce, Ti: 4–10% (para)formaldehyde Ch, Ce: Methanolacetic acid (31),<br />

preferred protein removal Ce, Ti: Methanolacetic acid (31) and tuned proteinase K digestion to allow Ce: 70% ethanol and mild pepsin<br />

procedure and mild pepsin digestion reagents to access the target DNA Ti: 4–10% (para)formaldehyde combined<br />

(Ch = chromosomes, but to limit diffusion of PCR products with strong pepsin and 1M sodium<br />

Ce = cells, thiocyanate or microwave<br />

Ti = tissues)<br />

Main probe type Single or multiple Oligonucleotide primer pair Cloned genomic or cDNA (1–100 kb) in<br />

Oligonucleotide(s) (20–30 mer) (20–30 mer) plasmid, cosmid, PAC or BAC vector<br />

DNA labeling in situ Specimen denaturation Incorporation of labeled Hybridization of a denatured, labeled<br />

Primer annealing nucleotides during PCR (10–30 cycles) DNA probe on the pretreated, denatured<br />

Incorporation of labeled on the pretreated specimen specimen<br />

nucleotides by DNA polymerase (= direct in situ PCR), or PCR followed<br />

by FISH detection of amplified DNA<br />

(= indirect in situ PCR)<br />

Specificity Primer annealing Primer annealing and/or ISH after PCR Probe hybridization and stringent washes<br />

Label detection Direct (fluorochromes) or Idem Idem<br />

indirect (antibody detection<br />

and signal amplification)<br />

Advantages Good accessibility of reagents by High sensitivity (target few hundred bp) Good accessibility of reagents by<br />

optimal protein removal optimal protein removal<br />
