In situ hybridization was possible after a short immersion of the glass slides in a 2% solution of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in acetone and it was found that especially harsh prehybridization drastically reduces the morphological integrity of the sections, thus rendering a reliable assignment of the label difficult.
