Based on the direct in situ mixing of the colors of different fluorochromes (fluorescein isothiocyanate, tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate, Cascade Blue) incorporated in sequential primed in situ labeling (PRINS) reactions, a new multicolor PRINS procedure is described, allowing the rapid and distinct in situ labeling of three or four human chromosomes. Each PRINS reaction consists of a unique 5-min step for annealing and elongation. In combination with the 0.5 M NaOH pretreatment for simultaneous in situ denaturation and decondensation of sperm nuclei, this technique has been adapted to human sperm nuclei for the direct assessment of aneuploidy.
