Our aim was to define optimal conditions for efficient and reproducible albumin mRNA detection in rat liver by in situ hybridization. We used an albumin-specific [3H]-labeled cDNA probe with a specific activity of 6-8.10(6) cpm/microgram DNA. In situ hybridization is as efficient on paraffin sections as on cryostat sections for detecting albumin mRNAs. Perfusion fixation with a 4% paraformaldehyde solution results in homogeneous RNA retention within tissue blocks, in contrast with immersion fixation, which yields heterogeneous RNA preservation. Comparison of immersion fixation with three different fixatives (paraformaldehyde, ethanol-acetic acid, and Bouin's fixative) shows that the highest level of hybridization signal is obtained with paraformaldehyde. Ethanol-acetic acid and Bouin's fixative appear less efficient for albumin mRNA detection. Loss of mRNAs within liver tissue blocks over time is largely although not completely prevented by paraffin embedding.
