Heat the buffer to 42 degrees C for at least five minutes and add 60 ul to the labeled probe (final volume should be 120 ul), mix the 2X F-hybridization buffer well before adding, store probe at 42 degrees C until use. 3) Thaw a vial of pre-hybridization buffer and keep at 42 degrees C until use. Note: Make a pre-hybridization buffer stock which contains 5X SSC, 0.1% SDS and 1% BSA and aliquot into 2 ml vials. First make a filtered 10% BSA stock solution which can be added to the buffer. Store the pre-hybridization buffer at -20 degrees C and thaw only once. 4) Place microarray in the hybridization station and start the program as mentioned below. 5) Add the pre-warmed pre-hybridization buffer (mix well before use) to the microarray at Step 2 of the TECAN protocol. 6) When the hybridization station has reached Step 6, heat the labeled probe to 95 degrees C for three minutes in a dry heat block. Quickly spin the vial to collect the labeled probe in the bottom and pipet it onto the microarray.

This protocol can be used to label amplified antisense RNA with the ULS system from KREATECH Biotechnology using the Amersham Cy Dyes (kit # EA-006). Make sure that the amplified RNA is as pure as possible! If Qiagen RNeasy columns are used in final purification step in amplification, make sure that no salts are left on the membrane of the column. This can be prevented by washing the RNA bound to the column twice with 80% ethanol, before eluting the aRNA. 1) For every reaction, pipet 2 ul 10X labeling solution into a 200 ul PCR tube. 2) Add 1 ug aRNA in a maximal volume of 17 ul. 3) Add 0.3 ul of ULS-Cy5 or 1 ul of ULS-Cy3 label. 4) Adjust the total volume to 20 ul with water and mix the solution by pipetting. 5) Incubate at 85 degrees C for 30 minutes. 6) Let the mixture cool to room temperature for about three minutes. 7) Shake a KREApure column (use a separate column for each reaction) to make sure that the column material is completely mixed (shake the material down before unscrewing the lid). 8) Break of the bottom part, remove the lid and place the column in a 2 ml Eppendorf vial without lid. 9) Spin the column for 1 minute at maximum speed. 10) Load the labeling mixture onto the column and place it in a clean 2 ml Eppendorf vial without lid, but keep the lid to close the vial after purification (make sure that you load the mixture on the highest part of the material: The fixed-angle rotor of the centrifuge forces the column material to one side of the column). 11) Place the highest part of the column material on the outside of the rotor and spin for 1 minute at maximum speed. 12) Discard the column and keep the eluate (about 20 ul). Analysis of labeled aRNA 13) Measure the amount of purified and labeled aRNA, and frequency of Dye incorporation (FOI) on the NanoDrop spectrophotometer with 2 ul of each labeled aRNA. FOI (number of Dye molecules per kb of aRNA) = (324.5 * pmol dye/ul) / RNA ng/ul 14) Pool the two purified reactions (total volume approximately 40 ul) and SpeedVac the mixture until a volume of 9 ul is reached. 15) Transfer the mixture to a 200 ul PCR tube and add 1 ul Fragmentation buffer to decrease the fragment size to 60-200 bases. 16) Incubate at 70 degrees C for 15 minutes. 17) Spin the vial briefly and add 1 ul of stop solution, mix by pipetting (the labeled aRNA can form aggregates which dissolve by pipetting) and place on ice until further use. 18) Transfer the mixture to a 1.5 ml Eppendorf vial and add 6 ul of blocking solution (containing 20 ug Poly d(A), 8 ug yeast t-RNA and 20 ug COT-1 DNA). 19) Add 43 ul of RNAse-free water and store at 42 degrees C. Note: If the labeled material is not used the same day for hybridization, it can be stored at -20 degrees C or -80 degrees C until further use. Samples can be stored for several weeks before use. If you are planning to do a large series of hybridizations in a short period of time, we recommend to first label all your aRNA before starting with the hybridizations.

Tissue can be homogenized by using a Polytron. Make sure that all material has been homogenized - if not, this could result in degradation of the isolated RNA. Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature before continuing the protocol. Continue with step 4 (B)RNA isolation from (10cm) cell culture dishes 1)Remove medium from dish and transfer 3-5 ml ice-cold PBS onto the dish. 2)Remove PBS and pipet another 3-5 ml PBS onto the dish, remove it and pipet 2-3 ml TRIzol reagent onto the dish. 3)Homogenize the cells by passing the lysate a few times through a pipette and transfer to a RNAse free tube. Make sure that all material has been homogenized - if not, this could result in degradation of the isolated RNA. Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature before continuing the protocol. Continue with step 4 Continued extraction 4)Add 200 ul Chloroform for each ml of TRIzol reagent used for lysating cells or tissues and close the lid tightly and immediately shake vigorously up and down with force (do not vortex!) for 20 seconds and incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature. 5)Place vial in a refrigerated centrifuge (4 degrees C) and spin for 15 minutes at maximum speed (larger tubes can be spun for 45 minutes at 4000 rpm in a refrigerated (4 degrees C) swing bucket rotor). 6)Transfer he upper aqueous phase to a new vial, leave about 15-20% of the aqueous phase above the interphase to avoid contamination with proteins. 7)Add 500 ul of isopropyl alcohol for every ml of TRIzol reagent used for the initial homogenization, shake for 10 seconds and let precipitate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature (solution can be stored at -20 degrees C overnight). 8)Place vial in a refrigerated centrifuge (4 degrees C) and spin for 30 minutes at maximum speed (larger tubes can be spun for 45 minutes at 4000 rpm in a refrigerated (4 degrees C) swing bucket rotor). 9)A white pellet of precipitated RNA should be visible at the bottom of the tube (depending on the amount of cells/tissue as starting material). Note: A very pure RNA pellet can be transparent and therefore hardly visible. 10)Remove the supernatant (leave about 20 ul of the supernatant on the pellet, to avoid disturbance of the pellet) and add 1.5 ml 80% ethanol (with RNAse free water) to wash the pellet, agitate until pellet detaches from the bottom. 11)Place vial in a refrigerated centrifuge (4 degrees C) and spin for 10 minutes at maximum speed (larger tubes can be spun for 15 minutes at 4000 rpm in a refrigerated (4 degrees C) swing bucket rotor). 12)Remove the ethanol for as much as possible and dry the pellet by air (dry for about 10 minutes - make sure that the pellet does not dry completely, because this can result in a decreased solubility). 13)Dissolve the pellet in RNAse free water (use 50 ul RNAse free water for every 5*10E6 cells or 10 cm dish) measure RNA concentration at A260 (the A260/A280 ratio should be higher than 1.9).

Centrifuge for 1 minute at 10.000 rpm to elute. 17)Measure the amount and purity (the A260/A280 ratio should approximately between 2.1 and 2.3) of the cleaned RNA on the NanoDrop spectrophotometer with 2 ul 18)Run 1% agarose gel to check the RNA for degradation (use about 1 ug), the ribosomal bands should be well-defined, without visible smears.
