A nucleic acid hybridization assay was used to evaluate inhibitory activity of antiviral compounds against hepatitis A virus (HAV) in cell culture and compared to radioimmunoassay by analysis of variance procedure. The 5' genomic end of the HM-175 strain was used as digoxigenin-labeled RNA probe. Dot-blot examination showed a reduction of detectable HAV RNA in infected cells when treated with amphotericin B. An antiviral dose-effect was shown by statistical analysis of densitometric measures of hybridization signals. Comparison between molecular hybridization assay and radioimmunoassay by analysis of variance procedure showed the equivalence of both methods. Data previously obtained on selected drugs by antigen and infectious titres determinations were confirmed by hybridization assay and make possible digoxigenin-labeled RNA probe use to measure an antiviral dose-effect for screening of hepatitis A antiviral compounds.

Akabane virus (AKAV) is an arbovirus belonging to the family Bunyaviridae, genus Orthobunyavirus. AKAV consists of three-segment (L, M, and S RNA segments), negative single-stranded RNA. The aim of this study was to investigate an in situ hybridization method (ISH) in a Vero E6 cell line infected with Akabane virus.

Here, we present an approach combining fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunolabeling for localization of pri-miRNAs in isolated nuclei of A. thaliana. The presented method utilizes specific DNA oligonucleotide probes, modified by addition of digoxigenin-labeled deoxynucleotides to its 3' hydroxyl terminus by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT).

Objective: The aim of this study was to optimize the sensitivity, specificity and cost-effectiveness of the RNA-Oligonucleotide Quantification Technique (ROQT) in order to identify periodontal pathogens that remain unrecognized or uncultured in the oral microbiome.
Design: Total nucleic acids (TNA) were extracted from subgingival biofilm samples using an automated process. RNA, DNA and Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) digoxigenin-labeled oligonucleotide probes targeting 5 cultivated/named species and 16 uncultivated or unnamed bacterial taxa were synthesized.
