This simple tool should speed the search for a wide variety of new biological probes for the study of nervous system.
After careful examination of the microarray probes, it was determined that the majority of the spotted cDNA fragments were from the 3' end of the genes.
Line-scans were performed as described [ 26 ] in cells loaded with 4 mM fluo-3 AM (fluo-3 acetoxymethyl ester, Molecular Probes, OR) for ~30 minutes at room temperature.
Since the darkest probes may be more likely caused by their poor binding properties to the target gene, and the brightest probes may be more likely caused by serious cross hybridization issues, different parts of the integral distribution tend to have different qualities.
This conclusion was supported by experimental observations in our laboratories indicating that probes derived from rat and mouse cDNAs yield inconsistent results in Northern blotting under stringent hybridization conditions (data not shown).
