How do I label my PCR probe?

[martin LEACH]

try labelling one of your pcr primers with gamma-32p-atp

use polynucleotide kinase to end label the oligo...

i prefer this method since it is less messy than using 32p-ctp - since this
will also label non-specific products (of all sizes.....creating a background
smear)...
