Application of Dot-blot DNA Hybridization in Detection and Typing of Herpes Simplex Viruses
Abstract: HSV type-common(7.8Kb)and HSV-2type-specific(3.0kb)DNA fragments were selected out from cloned HSV-2 (333) DNA Bgl Ⅱ H_2 fragment, and labeled with ~(32)P as probes to detect and type 4 HSV standard strains and 24 cervical viral isolates by dot-blot hybrization. In the results, 2HSV-1 and 2 HSV-2 were unequivocally differentiated, and 21 out of 24 isolates were identified as HSV, in which 3 were typed as HSV-1 and 18 as HSV-2. These results were consistent with those of ELISA, morover, the identification ra...
