Digoxigenin-labelled cDNA probes of the five viruses were synthesized by PCR with the specific primers and applied in dot-blot hybridization to detect five viruses in crude extraction of the infected leaves. And three SqMV probes of different lengths (0.55, 1.6, and 2.7 kb, respectively) were designed to investigate the effect of hybridization. The results showed that the sensitivity for detecting the crude extraction of infected leaves by ZYMV, WMV, CMV, PRSV-W, and SqMV was down to 1:160, 1:160, 1:320, 1:160, and 1:320, respectively. Three SqMV probes of different length showed no differences on the sensitivity and specificity. The digoxigenin-labelled probes prepared by PCR could be used for accurate and rapid identification of 5 viruses infecting cucurbitaceous crops with good stabilities, sensitivities, specificity, and reproducibilifies.展开更多

The fragment was labeled with digoxigenin-dUTP with a commercial kit. A dot-blot hybridization and a colony hybridization test with the probe were successfully developed for the surveillance of Kanamycin resistance to E.coli from swine. It was shown that the methods obtained 100% concordance in a positive tate. It was indicated that the method was available for the surveillance of kanamycin resistance to ? coli from swine.展开更多

Methods: The digoxigenin (Dig) labeled somatostatin (SS) RNA probes were synthesized with in vitro transcription system and the in situ hybridization was conducted on the cryostat sections of rat stomach , duodenum and pancreas. Results: Positive reaction sites were purple-blue in color and located in the cytoplasm with a light background and a strong contrast. Both the morphosis and distribution of the SS mRNA posrtive cells corresponded well with those of the previously reported SS immunoreactive cells. Conclusion: The Dig -labeled cRNA probe in situ hybridization method is simple, sensitive and reliable for the study of gut regulatory peptide gene expression.展开更多

Comparison of the typing results showed that the sensitivity and specificity of the Digoxigenin-labeled probe were equal to those of the 32 P-labeled Probe, and the typing rate of HSV isolates was 100%. The Dig-labeled probes are nonradioactive and the labeling technigue is simple, the Dig-labeled probes can be stored and reused, so they are more valuable for clinical application.展开更多

The ratio of males to females for the positive specimens was 1. 44. The infection rate of EAd40 and EAd41 each displayed no marked difference in seasons (summer and autumn) and similar age distribution was found between them. All of the two types of EAds in-fections predominated in patients with diarrhea under 3 years old- The results indicated that the Digoxigenin probe could detect DNA quantities as low as 1 pgwith satis factory specificity and the technique can be used for both clinical and ex-perimental purposes.展开更多

METHODS: Non-radioactive in situ hybridization (ISH) was undertaken, combined with immunohistochemistry to study the Ki-67 gene transcription and translation in various human cells and tissues. HeLa cells and fresh colon cancer cells, tonsil, normal pancreas and pancreatic cancer tissues were used in this study. A 435 bp cDNA fragment located in exon 13 of the Ki-67 antigen gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Digoxigenin-labelled antisense and sense RNA probes were prepared for detecting Ki-67 mRNA, combined with MIB-1 immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Successful localization of Ki-67 mRNA in human HeLa cells, colon cancer cells, tissues specimen of the tonsil and pancreatic cancer tissue sections was accomplished by digoxigenin-labelling in situ hybridization technique. ISH to colon cancer cells and pancreatic cancer tissue slides showed that much stronger cytoplasm and perinuclear mRNA signals of the Ki-67 gene were present in malignant cells than in normal cells, which was in accordance with MIB-1 nuclear protein signals. CONCLUSIONS: A sensitive and practical in situ hybridization method for the analysis of Ki-67 antigen mRNA in human cell and tissue was developed. Abnormal transcription of exon 13 of Ki-67 gene might be responsible for malignant cell proliferation in colon and pancreatic cancer.展开更多
