Swine hepatitis E virus (HEV) was detected in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from naturally infected pigs by nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results for seminested RT-PCR were compared with those determined by in situ hybridization. The results obtained show that use of xylene deparaffinization, digestion with proteinase K followed by nested RT-PCR is a reliable detection method. Swine HEV nucleic acid was detected in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded hepatic tissues from 40 pigs. Distinct positive signals for swine HEV were obtained in the same hepatic tissues by in situ hybridization. Swine HEV nucleic acid was localized to the cytoplasm of hepatocytes and had a granular staining pattern. The rate of agreement between nested RT-PCR and in situ hybridization for the detection of swine HEV in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded hepatic tissues was 100%.
通过巢式逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)在自然感染猪的福尔马林固定、石蜡包埋组织中检测到猪戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)。将半巢式RT-PCR的结果与原位杂交的结果进行了比较。所得结果表明,采用二甲苯脱蜡、蛋白酶K消化后进行巢式RT-PCR是一种可靠的检测方法。在40头猪的福尔马林固定、石蜡包埋肝组织中检测到猪HEV核酸。通过原位杂交在相同肝组织中获得了猪HEV明显的阳性信号。猪HEV核酸定位于肝细胞的细胞质中,呈颗粒状染色模式。在福尔马林固定、石蜡包埋肝组织中检测猪HEV时,巢式RT-PCR与原位杂交的符合率为100%。
