Simultaneous detection of adenovirus RNA and cellular proteins by fluorescent labeling in situ
Abstract:
Investigating the cell biology of gene expression requires methodologies for localizing RNA relative to proteins involved in RNA transcription, processing, and export. Adenovirus is an important model system for the analysis of eukaryotic gene expression and is also being used to investigate the organization of gene expression within the nucleus. Here are described the combined in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence staining techniques that have been used to study the localization of viral RNA relative to nuclear structures that contain splicing factors.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
