The CCP10 probe is designed to detect the copy number of chromosome 10 or to serve as a control to determine the relative copy number of genes located on chromosome 10 or other chromosomes.* The probe is derived from chromosome 10 specific alpha satellite DNA.

The CCP10 probe is labeled with CytoGreen. CytoGreen is a fluorophore with an excitation peak at 495 nm and emission peak at 518 nm, giving it a green fluorescent signal with the appropriate filters. The probe can also be labeled in different colors; please contact us with your specifications.

The CCP10 probe hybridizes to chromosome 10 in both metaphase and interphase cells. After hybridizing with normal human peripheral blood lymphocyte samples, two distinct bright fluorescent spots could be observed in the interphase nuclei under a fluorescence microscope. In metaphase cells, bright signals can be observed on the centromere region of chromosome 10 (10p11.1-q11.1).  No cross-hybridization to loci on other chromsomes is observed.
