Company:

Advanced Cell Diagnostics (ACD, Bio-Techne)

Product Name:

BaseScope™ Probe for Npas3

Catalog Number:

1186601-C1

We used a custom BaseScope probe targeting mouse Npas3 mRNA to quantify transcript abundance in astrocytes from adult mouse prefrontal cortex. The probe produced distinct punctate signals with excellent specificity and enabled reliable quantification of Npas3 expression at the single-cell level following conditional gene deletion.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

BaseScope RNA in situ hybridization

Starting Material

Fixed-frozen adult mouse brain sections

Tips

The probe performed exceptionally well when combined with GFAP immunofluorescence and confocal imaging.

Results Summary

Distinct punctate signals were readily detected in astrocytes with minimal nonspecific background. Quantitative analysis clearly distinguished control and conditional knockout animals.
