Hello all-
I'm doing an in situ hybridization with adult frog eye sections. I cut the
sections on a cryostat about 20 microns thick. I've been having problems
with my sections falling off after treatment with proteinase K. My protocol
calls for 10ug/ml of proteinase K; however, I have played around with
different concentrations, even going down to 1ug/ml. It seems no matter what
I do, my sections tend to fall off. Please, what am I doing wrong?
Also if it helps, before treatment with proteinase K, I dry the sections at
50C for 10 minutes then and treat with 4% PFA 20 minutes.
Thanks all.
