A simplified spot method for determination in serum of hepatitis B virus DNA (HBV DNA) by molecular hybridization is proposed. For simultaneous testing of 30 serum samples, it reduced to about 1 hr the duration of the steps preceding hybridization proper. The method also greatly reduced the loss of

β¦ Synopsis
A rapid, convenient, and efficient hybridization method for the determination of virusspecific RNAs in Py virus-infected cells is described. The method involves carrying out the hybridization of viral RNAs present in the RNA isolated from infected cells directly on nitrocellulose filters carrying denatured, immobilized Py-DNA (15 ~1 RNA solution/25-mm2 filter). Under optimal conditions quantitative hybridization of viral RNA sequences is obtained within 24 h. The efficiency of hybridization is increased significantly when RNA fragmented by alkali under carefully controlled conditions is used.
