A simple procedure for rehybridization of nuclei analyzed previously by fish

We present a simple procedure for interphase fluorescence in situ rehybridization (FISH). This procedure was used to evaluate fresh prostate tumor from needle biopsy specimens. Digoxigenin-labeled DNA probes were hybridized onto nuclei which had been previously investigated by FISH using biotin-labeled DNA probes. This method makes it possible to reanalyze the same nuclei with different centromeric DNA probes and is useful in cases where a limited number of slides are available.
