Abstract
We carried out a variety of in situ methods of hybridization on rat liver and rat skeletal muscle using 35S-labeled or biotin-labeled rat carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) cDNA clone. The methods were compared and evaluated. Use of the biotin system produced defined but nonspecific results which were shown not to be due to the biotinylated cDNA probe binding to the mRNA in the muscle sections. This artifact was shown to persist despite various attempts to eliminate it. Alternatively, using 35S-labeled cDNA gave reproducible results which were shown to be consistent with probe binding specifically to mRNA in the muscle section.
