The detection of DNA tumour virus-specific RNA sequences in abnormal human cervical biopsies by in situ hybridization. 1981

N J Maitland, and J H Kinross, and A Busuttil, and S M Ludgate, and G E Smart, and K W Jones

We have used the technique of in situ nucleic acid hybridization and autoradiography of thin frozen sections of human tissue to search for virus RNA sequences in human cervical tumours. Of cervical biopsies with abnormal cytology, 67% bound herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2) 3H-labelled DNA probes and 39% bound adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) 3H-labelled DNA probes, whereas control experiments with phage lambda 3H-labelled DNA probes, under the same conditions, bound to only 7% of cases. In contrast, normal cervical biopsies bound the three probes in only 23%, 17% and 8% of cases respectively.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D010582 Bacteriophage lambda A temperate inducible phage and type species of the genus lambda-like viruses, in the family SIPHOVIRIDAE. Its natural host is E. coli K12. Its VIRION contains linear double-stranded DNA with single-stranded 12-base 5' sticky ends. The DNA circularizes on infection. Coliphage lambda,Enterobacteria phage lambda,Phage lambda,lambda Phage
