The dialdehyde glyoxal is an alternative chemical fixative that cross-links tissues faster than formaldehyde, retains higher antigenicity, and is less hazardous than either formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde. Here we present a glyoxal-based fixation protocol for use with Drosophila embryos. We describe steps to prepare acid-free glyoxal, fix embryos, and then stain with antibodies for immunofluorescence (IF). We also describe methods for RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and FISH plus IF (FISH-IF) using glyoxal-fixed embryos. This protocol was adapted for Drosophila embryos from the methods of Bussolati et al. and Richter et al. Glyoxal offers an alternative to formaldehyde for fixation of Drosophila embryos This protocol describes steps to prepare acid-free glyoxal and fix embryos A method for immunofluorescence staining of glyoxal fixed embryos is detailed RNA in situ hybridization methods are also described Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
