In my experience repeat proteolytic digestion and hybridise again only
result exceed background or poor hybridization. Some sample due to improper
fixed procedure can't get good result, we can only prepare duplicate slide
for another try. FISH is a complex procedure, every step will influence the
result, so I think it is not worth to use same slide.
