A method of in situ hybridization for HBV DNA on liver tissue with digoxigenin-labeled probe is described. We have detected the HBV DNA of sixteen liver biopsies. The results showed that the sensitivity and specificity of digoxigenin-labeled probe for in situ hybridization were hig er and stronger then those of biotinylated probe. The practicality of digoxigenin-labeled probe is better. It is an excellent non-radioactive probe for in situ hybridization, which may eventually replace the biotinylated probe. The localization of HBV DNA in hepatocytes could be classified into 4 types, namely, the whole cytoplasmic, focal cytoplasmic, whole nucleic and nuclear membranous-nucleolus. The results of in situ hybridization using digoxigenin-labeled probe could reflect the free or integrated status of HBV genome and the levels of its genomic replication in hepatocytes. The procedure of in situ hybridization using digoxigeninlabeled probe was also discussed.

D006509 Hepatitis B INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by a member of the ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS genus, HEPATITIS B VIRUS. It is primarily transmitted by parenteral exposure, such as transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products, but can also be transmitted via sexual or intimate personal contact. Hepatitis B Virus Infection
D006515 Hepatitis B virus The type species of the genus ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS which causes human HEPATITIS B and is also apparently a causal agent in human HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA. The Dane particle is an intact hepatitis virion, named after its discoverer. Non-infectious spherical and tubular particles are also seen in the serum.

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.
