The document provides instructions for performing northern hybridization using a membrane and denatured probe. Key steps include prehybridizing the membrane overnight at 65C, denaturing the probe at 100C, adding the denatured probe to the prehybridization mixture instead of directly to the membrane, hybridizing overnight at 65C, washing with low and high stringency buffers, blocking the membrane, incubating with an anti-DIG antibody, washing, and detecting using chemiluminescence. Materials for prehybridization, washing buffers, blocking, and detection are also listed.

1. Prehybridize membrane at 65C overnight. This might be essential!
2. Denature probe: 5 min 100C in heating block. Final concentration in hybridization: 10-100 ng/ml 3. Take aliquot of prehyb mix, and add denatured probe to aliquot. Then add aliquot to rest of prehybmix with membrane. Don't add probe directly to membrane! 4. Hybridize O/N at 65C 5. Wash blot 2x 5 min at 65C with low stringency wash buffer, and 2x 30 min at 65C with high stringency wash buffer 6. Wash blot 2x 5 min at RT with DIG-buffer. It is essential to wash away all salts from hybridization 7. Block membrane in Blocking buffer for 30-60 min at RT 8. Incubate 30-60 min with anti-DIG-AP (1:10,000 diluted in Blocking buffer) 9. Wash 2x 15 min at RT with DIG-buffer 10. Equilibrate in AP-buffer 11. Do chemiluminescent detection with CDP-Star
