[Histonet] FISHing trip

[Tarango, Mark]

I don't have a protocol for doing this on urine, but if I wanted to do
it, the first thing I'd try would be trypsanizing the cells after
spinning to obtain a pellet.  Then I'd spin down again, decant the
remaining trypsan, re-suspend in PBS, and make cytospins.  Then it's
happy FISHing!

Subject: [Histonet] FISHing trip

I haven't gotten any help from the pathologist listserve, and the
UroVysion FISH listserve doesn't have many users, so I am asking the
histotechs for help!  Maybe you have friends doing FISH....

 

 

We are doing FISH studies on urine (UroVysion) and frequently run into
cell clumps/clusters.  Since the architecture is not what we are
assessing via FISH, it would be useful to disrupt these clumps and
obtain single cells for analysis.  Does anyone have a protocol for doing
this on urine specimens?

 

Thanks in advance.
