The fluorescente in situ hybridization advent introducted the cytogenetics in molecular era, with methodological advances that enable the investigation of chromosome science at different levels. Among these advances, it stands out the unequivocally identification of homologous chromosomes pairs, the specific sequences location, the direct prospecting of chromosomal abnormalities, besides providing high-resolution information on the structure and organization of chromosomes. Within the strategies of molecular cytogenetics, microdissection and DOP-PCR techniques have been widely used in the chromosome-specific probes construction. However, the absence of well-established and reproducible protocols, besides the need for relatively large number of chromosomes for micromanipulation, this technique has been limited. The present study aimed to standard a methodology for chromosome-specific probes construction, involving micromanipulation and DOP-PCR techniques. Human lymphocyte cultures were carried out to obtain metaphases, both male and female origin. In situ amplification (PRINS) reaction was performed on a slide containing metaphase, applying 50 μL of reaction mix with Platinun® Taq DNA Polymerase High Fidelity 1 U, enzime reaction buffer, MgSO4 2 mM, dNTPs 200 μM and primer 4 μM. Then, ten X chromosomes fragments were microdissected using microneedles coupled to a phase contrast microscope and transferred to a tube containing 0.2 μL proteinase K, where deproteinizated at 37 °C for 24 hours. The material was amplified by DOP-PCR in 15 μL of reaction, and marked with Tetramethyl-rhodamine-5-dUTP. The probe was denatured for 10 minutes at 99 °C in 35 μL of hybridization mix containing: formamide 50 %, SSC 2X, Dextran Sulfate 10 %, 1 mg of Cot-1 and 200 ng of labeled probe. This mix was applied on the slide, which was denatured at 75 ºC for 8 minutes and then subjected to hybridization at 37 °C for 20 hours. After hybridization, stringency washes and counter-staining with DAPI were performed, and the material was analyzed with a fluorescence microscope coupled to an image capture system. A subcentromeric X chromosome specific probe was obtained, with an unique mark in male metaphase and two marks in female metaphases, with one or two fluorescent signals in interphase nuclei.
