We report a method of in situ hybridization (ISH) of 10-year-old archival cervical smears with a cocktail of nick-translated human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA types 6, 11, 16, 18, and 31. The method, which does not require destaining, results in excellent preservation of morphological detail with only 2% cell loss. Methods of smear treatment and detection of the biotinylated probe with a multistep avidin-biotin-immunoperoxidase method are described. Biotinylated PBR 322 plasmid and biotinylated human DNA were used as negative and positive controls in each run. Twenty-nine of 50 smears (58%) showing changes consistent with CIN I-II were positive for HPV. Fourteen corresponding cervical biopsies were also studied by ISH, seven corresponding to HPV-positive smears and seven to HPV-negative smears. HPV DNA was demonstrated in six of seven biopsies (87%) from the positive group but none could be demonstrated in the negative group. We conclude that retrospective study can be performed on routine alcohol-fixed, Papanicolaou-stained cervical smears with biotinylated HPV probes with excellent cell preservation, minimal cell loss, and high degrees of specificity. 相似文献

Thin layer-based technology in cervical cancer screening now allows both Papanicolaou staining and HPV testing on the same sample. Here, we show that in situ hybridization with catalyzed reporter deposition is a powerful HPV detection method when applied on thin-layer cervical smears, allowing distinction between two staining patterns suggestive of two different physical states of HPV DNA, where diffuse signals are suggestive of episomes and punctate signals are suggestive of viral DNA integration. 相似文献

Detection of human papillomavirus in cervical smears. A comparison of in situ hybridization, immunocytochemistry and cytopathology 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A comparison of different methods for the detection of cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infection was made on patients attending the cervical dysplasia clinic. Cytomorphology, immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization were compared for their ability to detect HPV. Separate cervicovaginal smears from 50 patients were tested for HPV types 6/11, 16 and 18 by in situ hybridization using 35S-labeled DNA probes. Duplicate smears from the same patients were Papanicolaou stained and evaluated for evidence of condylomatous and dysplastic changes. Twenty-five matching cervical biopsies were immunostained for HPV capsid antigen and tested by in situ hybridization for HPV DNA. The cytologic smears of 20 patients (40%) were positive for HPV DNA. Six patients had HPV 6/11, ten had HPV 16, three had HPV 18, and one had both HPV 6/11 and HPV 16. There was a high correlation between condylomatous cytopathology and antigen and DNA detection. One-third of the specimens with condylomatous changes were DNA negative by the tested probes, suggesting the presence of other HPV types in the genital tract. 相似文献

Classical in situ hybridization (ISH) with biotinylated probes makes it possible to detect and localize human papillomavirus (HPV) nucleic acid sequences in cytological and histological materials. This method is however of limited value in the detection of a few copies of the virus. Moreover the specificity of such a technique is not always convincing when ISH signals are small and/or of low intensity. Recently, much attention has been focused on the utility of the in vitro polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and especially on PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) to amplify small amounts of viral DNA with accurate hybrid specificity. But the latter method requires nucleic acid extraction and tissue destruction. Thus, correlation between the PCR results and histological findings is not possible. Hence, the aim of our current study was to apply to HeLa cells and cervical formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded biopsies, a novel procedure of ISH signal amplification, the catalyzed signal amplification (CSA). Such a procedure is based on the deposition of streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase catalyzing the deposition of biotinylated tyramide molecules on the location of the probed target. The biotin accumulation is then detected with streptavidin peroxidase and diaminobenzidine. The results were compared with those obtained by direct and indirect in situ PCR. The catalysed signal amplification successfully increased the sensitivity and efficiency of ISH for the detection of rare sequences in HPV infected cells and histological materials. Such a method was found simpler and faster than in situ PCR and tissue morphology was better preserved. 相似文献

A nonradioactive in situ hybridization technique was applied to human gametes and abnormally fertilized or developed zygotes. Using haptenized chromosome-specific probes, visualization was obtained using immunocytochemistry to achieve a fluorescent stain on specific hybrids. Using a chromosome 1-specific DNA probe, almost all spermatozoa gave a positive result, i.e., one hybridization signal per cell could be observed. Furthermore, it was possible to identify sperm cells with two spots, suggesting nondisjunction. Two cleavage arrested embryos from different patients showed both: two brightly fluorescent spots and two weaker spots with the same DNA probe. Using a Y-specific DNA probe the percentages of positive spermatozoa from the normal males ranged between 48.1% and 49.1%. In an embryo with four grossly haploid chromosome sets, three fluorescent spots were obtained with the Y-specific DNA probe, indicating the penetration of three spermatozoa. 相似文献

Cellular samples and subsequent cone biopsy samples from the same site in 18 patients were screened for infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 (HPV 16/18) by DNA hybridization. Filter hybridization of cells collected using cervical swabs was significantly less sensitive (with only 4 positive results) in detecting HPV 16/18 DNA sequences than was in situ hybridization of tissue sections (with 16 positive results). The in situ hybridization results correlated well with the cytologic and histologic findings of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of grades II (mild dysplasia) and III (severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ). 相似文献

Usefulness of estrogen receptor detection using archival Papanicolaou-stained smears. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
OBJECTIVE: To examine estrogen receptor (ER) detection using cytologic specimens and to compare the results with those obtained by the dextran-coated charcoal (DCC) method and enzyme immunoassay (EIA). STUDY DESIGN: Immunocytochemical staining was conducted on 60 cases of breast cancer resected at our hospital between April 1993 and November 1997 in which ER had been measured by DCC or EIA. Specimens for immunocytochemical staining were prepared by a cell transfer method using archival Papanicolaou-stained imprint smears, and ER staining was performed by the labeled streptavidin method using an anti-ER monoclonal antibody. These results were compared with those obtained by DCC or EIA. RESULTS: In immunocytochemical staining for ER, positive staining was observed in the nuclei of tumor cells. A good correlation was obtained between the immunocytochemical staining results and biochemical results. Five cases were positive in anti-ER staining but negative in biochemical tests, and two cases were negative in anti-ER staining and positive in biochemical tests. CONCLUSION: Unlike biochemical assays, the immunocytochemical method does not necessitate use of fresh frozen materials and can be performed even using archival Papanicolaou-stained smears. Immunocytochemical study is a highly useful method for routine ER determination. 相似文献

Preparation of nonradioactive probes for in situ hybridization 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In situ hybridization (ISH) enables the precise localization of RNA targets and provides an avenue to study the temporal and spatial patterns of expression of specific genes. ISH has evolved from being an esoteric technique to one that is routinely used by researchers in many areas of research. A major driving force has been the development of numerous nonisotopic labeling and signal detection methods. Historically, radioactive probes and autoradiography provided sensitivity that was unattainable with nonisotopic probes. But the long exposure times required for signal detection and the perceived dangers associated with radioactivity limit its use. Advances in nonisotopic detection systems have overcome many of the limitations associated with using radiolabeled probes. One of the most significant contributions from nonisotopic methods is the ability to discriminate between multiple nucleic acid sequences simultaneously. 相似文献

Direct nonradioactive in situ hybridization of somatic cell hybrid DNA to human lymphocyte chromosomes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Biotinylated DNA from various human-rodent hybrids was hybridized to human lymphocyte spreads after preannealing of the repeated sequences with sonicated total human DNA. Fluorescent labeling was achieved by successive treatments with fluorescein-labeled avidin and biotinylated antiavidin antibody. The use of labeled total DNA from hybrids with known chromosome composition permits the fluorescent staining-("painting") of specific chromosomes, or parts thereof, in human lymphocyte metaphases. Alternatively, the human chromosome content of cell hybrids with unknown chromosome composition is directly assessed from the labeling pattern of human lymphocyte spreads using the total hybrid DNA as probe. 相似文献

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with biotin-labeled probes mapping to 11p13 has been used for the molecular analysis of deletions of the WAGR (Wilms tumor, aniridia, genitourinary abnormalities, and mental retardation) locus. We have detected a submicroscopic 11p13 deletion in a child with inherited aniridia who subsequently presented with Wilms tumor in a horseshoe kidney, only revealed at surgery. The mother, who has aniridia, was also found to carry a deletion including both the aniridia candidate gene (AN2) and the Wilms tumor predisposition gene (WT1). This is therefore a rare case of an inherited WAGR deletion. Wilms tumor has so far only been associated with sporadic de novo aniridia cases. We have shown that a cosmid probe for a candidate aniridia gene, homologous to the mouse Pax-6 gene, is deleted in cell lines from aniridia patients with previously characterized deletions at 11p13, while another cosmid marker mapping between two aniridia-associated translocation breakpoints (and hence a second candidate marker) is present on both chromosomes. These results support the Pax-6 homologue as a strong candidate for the AN2 gene. FISH with cosmid probes has proved to be a fast and reliable technique for the molecular analysis of deletions. It can be used with limited amounts of material and has strong potential for clinical applications. 相似文献

The specificity and sensitivity of three methods for the preparation and detection of nonradioactive probe DNA (biotin-nick translation, biotin-photolabel, and antigen-chemical linkage) were evaluated and compared with a nick-translated32P-labeled DNA probe in DNA hybridization studies. The DNA probes were prepared from a restriction fragment (HindIII-3) from bacteriophage P1 DNA, and target DNA consisted of purified phage P1 DNA or P1 prophage DNA in lysogens ofEscherichia coli. A probe concentration of 50 ng/ml resulted in clear detection with the three nonradioactiveHindIII-3 DNA probes, whereas the specificity of the32P-HindIII-3 DNA probe was satisfactory at a concentration of 25 ng/ml. However, the detection of false positives was greater with the32P-labeled probe. The sensitivity of the radiolabeled DNA probe was marginally greater than that of the nonradioactive probes in dot blot hybridizations with purified phage P1 DNA. However, when the preparation time, ease of use, safety, duration of storage, and expense were compared for the four methods of labeling, the nonradiolabeled probes were generally superior to the radiolabeled probe. 相似文献

DNA, chromosomes, and in situ hybridization. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Trude Schwarzacher 《Génome》2003,46(6):953-962
In situ hybridization is a powerful and unique technique that correlates molecular information of a DNA sequence with its physical location along chromosomes and genomes. It thus provides valuable information about physical map position of sequences and often is the only means to determine abundance and distribution of repetitive sequences making up the majority of most genomes. Repeated DNA sequences, composed of units of a few to a thousand base pairs in size, occur in blocks (tandem or satellite repeats) or are dispersed (including transposable elements) throughout the genome. They are often the most variable components of a genome, often being species and, occasionally, chromosome specific. Their variability arises through amplification, diversification and dispersion, as well as homogenization and loss; there is a remarkable correlation of molecular sequence features with chromosomal organization including the length of repeat units, their higher order structures, chromosomal locations, and dispersion mechanisms. Our understanding of the structure, function, organization, and evolution of genomes and their evolving repetitive components enabled many new cytogenetic applications to both medicine and agriculture, particularly in diagnosis and plant breeding. 相似文献

We have used fluorescein-11-dUTP in a nick-translation format to produce fluoresceinated human nucleic acid probes. After in situ hybridization of fluoresceinated DNAs to human metaphase chromosomes, the detection sensitivity was found to be 50-100 kb. The feasibility and the increase in detection sensitivity of microscopic imaging of in situ hybridized, fluoresceinated DNA with an integrating solid state camera for rapid cosmid mapping is illustrated. Combination of fluoresceinated DNA with biotinated and digoxigeninated DNAs allowed easy performance of triple fluorescence in situ hybridization. The potential of these techniques for DNA mapping, cytogenetics and biological dosimetry is briefly discussed. 相似文献

A two-step (indirect) immunoperoxidase method directed against Chlamydia trachomatis was developed. The method was then used to evaluate the specificity of cytologic changes suggestive of C. trachomatis in Papanicolaou smears of cervical specimens from women who were culture-negative for the organism. Positive immunoperoxidase staining was detected in 9 of 21 cases (43%) tested. Technical problems, especially background staining, precluded interpretation in the remainder of the cases. Cervical cytology, as demonstrated by immunoperoxidase staining, may, in some instances, be more sensitive than the culture. However, because the etiology of cytologic changes not specifically identified by immunoperoxidase staining may be due to other organisms or factors, immunoperoxidase procedures, as described, should not replace culture for confirmation of cytologic findings suggestive of C. trachomatis. 相似文献

Rapid subchromosomal localization of cosmids by nonradioactive in situ hybridization 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

A rapid method for localizing large numbers of complete cosmids by nonradioactive in situ hybridization is described. The cosmids are nick translated in the presence of biotin-16-dUTP, incubated with an excess of sonicated human DNA, and used as a probe for in situ hybridization. Sites of hybridization are detected by successive treatments with FITC-labeled avidin and biotinylated anti-avidin antibody. Fifty-two cosmids were localized on chromosome 16 in 5 d relative to translocation breakpoints contained in two cell lines. Rapid identification of chromosome 16 was achieved by cohybridization with a chromosome 16-specific centromeric repeat probe. 相似文献

Sensitive nonradioactive detection of mRNA in tissue sections: novel application of the whole-mount in situ hybridization protocol. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
A F Moorman A C Houweling P A de Boer V M Christoffels 《The journal of histochemistry and cytochemistry》2001,49(1):1-8
The relative insensitivity of nonradioactive mRNA detection in tissue sections compared to the sensitive nonradioactive detection of single-copy DNA sequences in chromosome spreads, or of mRNA sequences in whole-mount samples, has remained a puzzling issue. Because of the biological significance of sensitive in situ mRNA detection in conjunction with high spatial resolution, we developed a nonradioactive in situ hybridization (ISH) protocol for detection of mRNA sequences in sections. The procedure is essentially based on the whole-mount ISH procedure and is at least equally sensitive. Increase of the hybridization temperature to 70C while maintaining stringency of hybridization by adaptation of the salt concentration significantly improved the sensitivity and made the procedure more sensitive than the conventional radioactive procedure. Thicker sections, which were no improvement using conventional radioactive ISH protocols, further enhanced signal. Higher hybridization temperatures apparently permit better tissue penetration of the probe. Application of this highly reliable protocol permitted the identification and localization of the cells in the developing heart that express low-abundance mRNAs of different members of the Iroquois homeobox gene family that are supposedly involved in cardiac patterning. The radioactive ISH procedure scarcely permitted detection of these sequences, underscoring the value of this novel method. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in atrophic smears can be misleading and may produce the diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. CASE: A routine cervical smear in a 62-year-old female revealed an atrophic smear with nuclear changes suggestive of a high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). An estrogen cream for topical vaginal use was prescribed. A new smear was collected seven days later and revealed koilocytosis but no evidence of HSIL. CONCLUSION: Koilocytosis is a cellular finding of mature epithelial cells. The use of estrogen produces maturation of HPV-infected basal cells, allowing a correct diagnosis of this disease in patients with atrophic smears. 相似文献
