متن کاملDetection of AHV-1 DNA in lung sections from blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) calves by in situ hybridization.
In situ hybridization was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded lung sections from eight blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) calves to investigate the role of this organ in the excretion of alcelaphine herpes virus-1 (AHV-1). A digoxigenin labelled Smal fragment of AHV-1 was used as a DNA probe. Viral DNA was detected in the lungs of seven calves in which infection with AHV-1 had p...
