Multiplexed Quantitative In Situ Hybridization for Mammalian or Bacterial Cells in Suspension: qHCR Flow Cytometry (v3.0)

Abstract

In situ hybridization based on the mechanism of hybridization chain reaction (HCR) enables high-throughput expression profiling of mammalian or bacterial cells via flow cytometry. Third-generation in situ HCR (v3.0) provides automatic background suppression throughout the protocol, dramatically enhancing performance and ease of use. In situ HCR v3.0 supports analog mRNA relative quantitation via qHCR flow cytometry. Here, we provide protocols for multiplexed qHCR flow cytometry for mammalian or bacterial cells in suspension.
