We produced 7 highly biotinylated double-stranded DNA probes for the long terminal repeat, gag-pol region, env region and pX tax and rex regions of HTLV-1. DNA-RNA cISH of these probes was established, evaluating the effect of 17% polyvinyl alcohol solvent for reducing non-specific alkaline phosphatase reaction in the process of visualizing hybridized probe and suggesting the necessary prehybridization incubation with hybridization buffer containing salmon DNA for diminishing non-specific binding of probes with tissue. On the other hand, DNA-DNA cISH of a cocktail of these 7 probes could show only too faint dot-like stain in nuclei to be applied to a study of HTLV-l-related lesions, denaturing DNA in sections and probes in aluminum box for 10 min at 200℃, incubating the sections with probes for hybridization for 3 days at 45℃ and performing overnight alkaline phosphatase reaction by using 17 % polyvinyl alcohol solvent after streptavidine-biotinylated alkaline phosphatase system to detect the hybridized probes.}, pages = {27--35}, title = {Cold in-situ-hybridization of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1: Production of biotinylated probes by polymerase chain reaction and improvement of procedures}, volume = {5}, year = {1995} }
