We describe a method for detecting virus-specific RNA sequences using a nonradioactive enzyme system, and analyze coxsackie B4 virus (cox.B4) RNA sequences in infected mouse kidney with pathological changes. Diffuse mesangial proliferation was observed transiently 24 h after inoculation of cox.B4 virus in glomeruli. OCT-treated thin sections of the same tissue were hybridized in situ using a digoxigenin-labeled oligonucleotide probe. The strongest signal was observed in the mesangial sample. These findings suggest that the transient proliferative mesangial changes were caused by direct injury following virus infection without immune complex.

D015342 DNA Probes Species- or subspecies-specific DNA (including COMPLEMENTARY DNA; conserved genes, whole chromosomes, or whole genomes) used in hybridization studies in order to identify microorganisms, to measure DNA-DNA homologies, to group subspecies, etc. The DNA probe hybridizes with a specific mRNA, if present. Conventional techniques used for testing for the hybridization product include dot blot assays, Southern blot assays, and DNA:RNA hybrid-specific antibody tests. Conventional labels for the DNA probe include the radioisotope labels 32P and 125I and the chemical label biotin. The use of DNA probes provides a specific, sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive replacement for cell culture techniques for diagnosing infections.
