Abstract

The mouse Y-specific DNA sequence pY2 was used as a probe for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to evaluate murine hematopoietic tissues after sex-mismatched bone marrow transplant (BMT). The pY2 probe was localized to the long arm of the Y chromosome on BM metaphases. Hybridization of pY2 in FISH of interphase cells from BM, spleen, and thymus after BMT was compared with Southern blot analysis; both methods gave comparable results. Only FISH was able to analyze post-BMT peripheral blood (PB) samples successfully, and provides a useful method for following engraftment status in the mouse on an ongoing basis.
