Abstract

Tissue microarrays are ordered arrays of hundreds to thousands of tissue cores in a single paraffin block. We invented a novel method to make a high-throughput micro-array group. Conventional smaller tissue microarrays were made first and then sectioned. Separate paraffin films were arrayed orderly onto a regular-sized glass slide to form a larger microarray group. Sections were not floated in a water bath but, rather, were cut singly using conventional microtome, arrayed orderly onto the glass slide with forceps instead of using a tape-based tissue transfer system, and then unfolded with warm water (46° C) using a micropipette. This not only lowers the difficulty in sectioning but the overall tissue disks can be included in the same section. A micro-array group of 2,534 small disks (theoretically, 2,560 disks can be made; 26 fell off during the procedure), the most up to now, was successfully made and may be used in immuno-histochemistry, mRNA in situ hybridization, and flourescent in situ hybridization.
