Cc. Brown et al., IDENTIFICATION OF AFRICAN HORSE SICKNESS VIRUS IN CELL-CULTURE USING A DIGOXIGENIN-LABELED RNA PROBE, Journal of veterinary diagnostic investigation, 6(2), 1994, pp. 153-155
A digoxigenin-labeled RNA probe was synthesized from a plasmid contain
ing a portion of the African horse sickness virus (AHSV) serotype 4 ge
nome segment coding for nonstructural protein 1. In an in situ hybridi
zation procedure, this probe hybridized successfully to Vero cells inf
ected with each of the 9 serotypes of AHSV. There was no hybridization
with noninfected cell cultures or cell cultures infected with blueton
gue virus.
