Abstract

We describe a modified BaseScope™ Assay protocol (ACDBio) for RNA in situ hybridization on fixed-frozen human brain tissue. The original protocol caused tissue detachment due to harsh tissue pre-treatment. We therefore optimized it to improve tissue stability while providing high stain quality in fr...
