Abstract

A non-isotopic method of in situ hybridization (ISH) was developed for the detection of rabies virus RNA in paraffin-embedded tissues. Digoxigenin-labelled RNA probes for rabies virus glycoprotein mRNA were used. The method had good sensitivity and low backgrounds, and there was excellent cellular localization of signals. ISH wih digoxigenin-labelled probes was compared with ISH with 3H-labelled probes. This non-isotopic method of ISH is more convenient than the radiolabelled method, and it is quicker because a long autoradiographic exposure is not required.
