I am looking for advice in non-radioactive detection of very low abundance
mRNA species in mouse brain. Standard biotin or dig-labeled protocols do
not work, and for logistical reasons we do not want to use isotopes
(although P-33 does detect these mRNAs). I am thinking of trying either
a tyramide amplification strategy, or perhaps an enzyme-linked flourescent
approach. Or maybe both together. Any help in this area would be Much
appreciated!

Thanks,
John Hohmann
