## Abstract Human wart virus was isolated from plantar warts. After extraction of its DNA, component I was transcribed into radioactive complementary RNA (cRNA) with the aid of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. The resulting cRNA annealed specifically to wart viral DNA and was used as a probe for th

✦ Synopsis
A method is described for the detection of human coronavirus 229E (HCV 229E) in nasal washings using RNA:RNA filter hybridisation. Volunteers were inoculated with HCV 229E, and daily nasal washings were collected. These washings were then examined for the presence of viral RNA using a single-stranded RNA probe. Nucleic acid hybridisation is shown to be a sensitive technique for the diagnosis of HCV 229E infections.

## Abstract Several in vitro studies have shown that HIV‐1 can infect CD4 negative epithelial cells of different origin including normal human oral keratinocytes, but whether this infection of mucosal epithelial cells occurs in vivo is still unclear. In this report, the presence and cell types infe
Immuno-enzymatic assay employing monoclonal antibodies and viral RNA analysis by gel electrophoresis were used to classify human group A rotaviruses (HRV) into subgroups I and II. Of 249 fecal samples positive for group A rotaviruses, 29 (11%) belonged to subgroup I and 215 (85%) were identified as
Localization of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA was investigated by non-radioactive in situ hybridization in human liver specimens of chronic non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis patients who were seropositive for antibodies to HCV (anti-HCV). For in situ hybridization, T-T dimerized synthetic oligodeoxynucleo
