Two individual , differentially labeled , cDNAs were incubated at , 95° C for 3' cooled down , to 68° C and mixed , (final-volume 20 µl). To , these mixed cDNAs 180 µl , of pre-heated (68° C) , Slidehyb#1 hybridization , buffer (Ambion Austin , USA) was added and the , resulting solution was , applied on a pre-heated , slide (68° C). Slides were , then hybridized at 44° C for , 16 hours. Subsequently , slides were washed at , 42°C once in 1 x , SSC/0.2% SDS and twice , in 1 x SSC and dried by , centrifugation (1 x SSC is , 0.15 M NaCl and 0.15 M , Sodium Citrate).
