It is possible to combine hybridization to specimens on electron-microscope grids of nucleic-acid probes labelled nonisotopically with immunogold detection of hybrid sites to map the position of target sequences rapidly and precisely. The basic technique is described, and examples are provided to il

β¦ Synopsis
A simple and sensitive nonradioactive method for detecting biotinylated nucleic acid hybrids on nitrocellulose paper is described. The method employs anti-biotin antibody-coated gold colloid and silver enhancement. Comparative results indicate sensitivity similar to that of a commonly used enzymatic colorimetric detection method.

## Abstract Nucleic acid hybridization was used for the detection of adenovirus DNA in stool specimens, and the results were compared with those obtained by a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for adenovirus hexon antigen. DNA from 40 specimens, 18 of which were positive by RIA, were spotted onto nitrocellulo
Cervical scrapes collected from 100 consecutive patients participating in a prospective follow-up study for cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infections were tested for the presence of HPV 11 DNA by the nucleic acid sandwich hybridization method, which allows testing the specimens in a crude form.
