Detection of enteroviruses by spot hybridization. 1984

T Hyypiä, and P Stålhandske, and R Vainionpää, and U Pettersson

A cloned partial cDNA copy of the coxsackievirus B3 genome was used for detecting enteroviruses in infected cells by employing a nucleic acid hybridization procedure. Cells infected with coxsackieviruses A and B, echovirus, and poliovirus gave positive hybridization signals, whereas cells infected with nonrelated viruses did not.

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.

D004770	Enterovirus	A genus of the family PICORNAVIRIDAE whose members preferentially inhabit the intestinal tract of a variety of hosts. The genus contains many species.
