Abstract:
In recent years, in situ RNA hybridization technique has found a widespread application in developmental biology. This method has frequently been used to determine gene expression patterns, which is a first step toward understanding of a gene function. Here, we provide a reliable and sensitive method for in situ RNA hybridization on frozen sections of mouse embryo using digoxigenin-labeled RNA probes. This technique can be used to study gene expression patterns at all stages of odontogenesis.
