LSP CARS 3 FISH Probe

The CARS 3’ FISH Probe is designed to detect the human CARS gene 3’-region located on chromosome band 11p15.4. CARS is also known as ARS1, CYSRS or MGC:11246.

The CARS 3 FISH probe is labeled with CytoGreen. CytoGreen is a fluorophore with an excitation peak at 495nm and emission peak at 518nm, giving it a green fluorescent signal with the appropriate filters.

The CARS 3 FISH probe hybridizes to chromosome 11 in both metaphase and interphase cells. After hybridizing with normal human peripheral blood lymphocyte samples, two distinct fluorescent spots are observed in the interphase nuclei, each spot corresponding to the 11p15.4 region on the chromosome 11. In metaphase cells, a “doublet” or “split signal” may appear on chromosomal region 11p15.4. Each signal within the doublet represents one of the two sister chromatids present in the replicated chromosome 11.
