Incorporation
of direct-labeled nucleotides using reverse transcriptase or RNA
amplification is the traditional method for labeling microarray samples.
FEATURES
and BENEFITS
-
Choose
from labeled dUTP, UTP and OBEA-dCTPs
-
Fluorescent
and nonfluorescent labels, including biotin, DNP, conventional
dyes and Molecular Probes’ proprietary dyes (Table
1)
-
Built-in
spacers for reduced interference of the dye in enzymatic
uptake
-
Protocols
optimized for reverse transcription

A
microarray hybridized .
cDNA
was labeled by reverse transcription from Vibrio
cholerae total RNA using ChromaTide
(C-11404). Labeled cDNA was then hybridized to a V.
cholerae O1 El Tor microarray. The array was imaged with a
ScanArray 5000XL scanner (Packard BioScience). Contributed by Kimberly
Chong and Gary Schoolnik, Stanford University.
