Direct Visualization of HIV-1 Replication Intermediates Shows that Capsid and CPSF6 Modulate HIV-1 Intra-nuclear Invasion and Integration. Cell Rep 2015; 13:1717-31.

Abstract
Direct visualization of HIV-1 replication would improve our understanding of the viral life cycle. We adapted established technology and reagents to develop an imaging approach, ViewHIV, which allows evaluation of early HIV-1 replication intermediates, from reverse transcription to integration. These methods permit the simultaneous evaluation of both the capsid protein (CA) and viral DNA genome (vDNA) components of HIV-1 in both the cytosol and nuclei of single cells. ViewHIV is relatively rapid, uses readily available reagents in combination with standard confocal microscopy, and can be done with virtually any HIV-1 strain and permissive cell lines or primary cells. Using ViewHIV, we find that CA enters the nucleus and associates with vDNA in both transformed and primary cells. We also find that CA's interaction with the host polyadenylation factor, CPSF6, enhances nuclear entry and potentiates HIV-1's depth of nuclear invasion, potentially aiding the virus's integration into gene-dense regions.

Abstract
We report detailed quantitative analysis of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) p24 and HIV-1 RNA in tonsil biopsies from 13 patients with early, asymptomatic HIV infection before and during combination antiretroviral therapy. Using fluorescent microscopy in conjunction with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction of frozen tissue sections, we show that plasma and tissue viral loads decreased by approximately 3 logs during the 1-year treatment period, with good correlation between the HIV-1 p24 and HIV-1 RNA response in tissue. The decrease of tissue viral load was delayed compared to plasma viral load, possibly explained by the observation that the amount of follicular dendritic cell-associated virus correlated best with the area under the curve of plasma HIV-1 RNA throughout the last 12 weeks. Before and during treatment, the relative proportions of HIV-1 on follicular dendritic cells and within mononuclear cells remained constant, suggesting similar decay characteristics in these two lymphoid tissue compartments. However, viral p24 or RNA remained almost always detectable in tissue despite full suppression of HIV-1 RNA in plasma, and increased even after short-term rebounds in plasma viral load. Thus, full and sustained suppression of viral replication was required to efficiently decrease viral load in lymphoid tissue, but complete abolition of residual viral replication was not achieved.

Abstract
While glycoprotein gp120/41 clearly causes HIV-infected cells to form syncytia in monolayers and in suspension, there is unfortunately scant knowledge on syncytium formation in tissues. We implanted gp120/41-expressing cells labeled with fluorescent particles inside blocks of human lymphoid tissue kept in long-term histoculture. Observed by confocal microscopy, together with immunohistochemical and morphological analysis of implanted cells, more than one-third of these gp120/41-expressing cells fused with native CD4+ cells of the host tissue, yielding small (three to five nuclei) syncytia. Such widespread fusion of gp120/41-expressing cells in tissue in vitro, together with the finding of increased virulence of syncytium-inducing isolates of HIV, support the hypothesis that syncytium formation within lymph tissue of HIV-infected individuals contributes to AIDS pathogenesis. This system and the methods developed may provide a way to study HIV-infected cells inside the very tissue whose destruction may prevent immune system repopulation.

Abstract
Non-isotopic in situ hybridization with a novel phenytoin (PHE)-labeled probe was developed. The mixture of cloned cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA fragments was labeled by random primer technique using PHE-11(spacer)-dUTP, instead of dTTP. The tissue sections were treated with 0.2 N HCl and with proteinase K (1 microgram/ml), and then heated at 70 degrees C in the presence of 50 or 75% formamide. The sections were hybridized with PHE-labeled probe at 37 degrees C overnight. The hybridization signal was visualized by alkaline phosphatase-5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate (BCIP)/4-nitroblue tetazolium (NBT) system. Strong hybridization signals were detected in sections of the small intestine and the placenta, even when denatured in the presence of 50% formamide. In the case of small intestine, CMV DNA was also detected in the endothelial cells of the mucosa where apparent infected cell was not observed histologically. In the sections of the submaxillary gland, the lung, the adrenal gland and the ovary, hybridization signal was not detected when denatured in the presence of 50% formamide, but detected after denaturation with 75% formamide. Thus, in situ hybridization with the novel PHE-labeled probe is applicable to conventional formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections.

Abstract
It is technically challenging for the detection of target DNA in low abundancy, such as viral DNA sequences in latently infected cells by nonisotopic in situ hybridization (ISH). Consistent result is even more difficult to achieve on routine paraffin sections. Proteolytic enzyme digestion is most critical for both consistency and sensitivity of the technique. We here have investigated the effect of enzyme digestion on cell morphology, protein and DNA reduction, and hybridization efficiency. The results demonstrated that enzyme digestion improves efficiency of ISH through a process involving partial DNA purification on sections. There is a clear relationship between proteolytic enzyme digestion, morphology changes, and hybridization efficiency. Although detection of DNA sequences in abundance can be achieved within a relatively wide range of digestion levels, maximum hybridization efficiency was always related to the cells, which showed morphology of nuclear swollen, weak homogeneous chromatin staining with hematoxylin and loss of visible nuclear membrane. Detection of viral DNA in low copy number critically depends on the creation of the morphologic changes by enzyme digestion. The morphological changes would therefore serve as important criteria for optimal digestion, result interpretation, and comparison.

Abstract
A novel simple nonradioactive method for detection of specific nucleotide sequences has been developed. This method consists of the hybridization of a target DNA with a DNA probe modified with trans-diamminedichlorplatinum(II) (trans-DDP) followed by detection of DNA/DNA hybrids with affinity-isolated anti-DNA-trans-DDP antibodies and poly-horseradish peroxidase-protein A conjugate. Major advantages of this approach are the low cost and the extreme simplicity of the labeling procedure, which involves only mixing of the reagents. The sensitivity of the proposed technique is sufficient to detect 0.8 pg of DNA in Southern blot hybridization and 25 fg in dot hybridization and permits colony screening.

Abstract
In situ hybridization or hybridohistochemistry has evolved in recent years in a new histologic modality. In situ hybridization (ISH) can be used for the detection of DNA (DISH) or RNA (RISH). The potential diagnostic value within a pathologic setting are well recognized. In this review paper, we summarize the use of DISH in a pathologic setting for the detection of chromosomal aberrations and localization of DNA-viruses like cytomegalovirus and Epstein Barr virus. RISH which is still in a more experimental stage can be applied for the localization of RNA-virus, like human immunodeficiency virus. However, the most important application of RISH will be the detection of gene-expression at the level of mRNA. Potentially this has many applications especially in early diagnostics of neoplastic tissues. Finally, we have summarized some pitfalls which may hamper the introduction of in situ hybridization for diagnostic purposes and some future developments in ISH.

Abstract
In order to obtain more information about the presence of HIV-1 in mononuclear cells of colostrum, research was carried out on both the HIV-1 genome in the cellular fraction of colostrum and the viral antibody in cell-free colostrum of eight anti-HIV-1 seropositive asymptomatic mothers. In five cases cell fractions of the colostrum harbored HIV-1 genome by DNA-DNA and DNA-RNA in situ hybridization, whereas viral antibody were detected in all cell-free colostrum specimens. The data confirms the colostrum as a possible route of HIV-1 infection.

Abstract
To facilitate the clinical application of dot-blot hybridization for assaying hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, we compared the ability of nucleic acid probes labelled with 32P or with various non-radioactive markers to detect HBV DNA in patient serum. Cloned HBV DNA was hybridized with (1) 32P-labelled HBV DNA cloned in M13, (2) the 32P-labelled HBV RNA probe included in the HepProbe kit, (3) an alkaline phosphatase-labelled synthetic oligonucleotide of HBV, (4) biotin-labelled HBV DNA, and (5) sulphonated HBV DNA. Detection was either by autoradiography or an enzymatic colour reaction. The lowest level of detection of cloned HBV DNA was achieved with the 32P-labelled HBV RNA probe (0.3 pg HBV DNA, corresponding to 3 x 10(4) genomes in 50 microliters), followed by the 32P-labelled DNA probe (0.3-2 pg), sulphonated DNA (1-2 pg), biotin-labelled DNA (4 pg), and an alkaline phosphatase-labelled synthetic oligonucleotide (30 pg). Subsequently, sera from 159 patients with various constellations of HBsAg, HBeAg, and anti-HBe were tested with the most sensitive radioactive method (HepProbe) and the corresponding nonradioactive method (sulphonation). The overall concordance rate was 71% (r = 0.42). Compared with HepProbe results, sulphonation showed a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 67%. We conclude that radiolabelling (in particular 32P-labelling of HBV RNA) still allows the most sensitive and reliable detection of HBV DNA in patient serum using conventional dot-blot hybridization.

Abstract
A review is given on the novel non-radioactive digoxigenin:anti-digoxigenin (DIG) bioanalytical indicator system. After a general introduction on direct and indirect indicator systems based on previous non-radioactive indicator reactions as well as in vitro and in vivo amplification procedures the principle of the new digoxigenin:anti-digoxigenin technology is demonstrated. The novel system is based on the specific high-affinity interaction between the cardenolide digoxigenin from Digitalis plants and a digoxigenin-specific antibody coupled with a reporter group. A variety of methods for digoxigenin modification of nucleic acids, proteins and glycans are presented. In addition, various applications of the novel non-radioactive indicator system in a variety of direct or indirect detection approaches with either insoluble or soluble substrates are described. It is also shown that with these applications alternative reaction formats are used which are partly characterized by additional amplification steps.

Abstract
Four different human tumor cell lines of glial origin have been exposed to a human T lymphotropic retrovirus (HTLV-I). All these cell lines were positive for the glial marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). The presence of virus RNA was demonstrated by in situ hybridization using an HTLV-I, SStI-SStI viral insert as probe. Virus expression has been monitored through an indirect immunofluorescence assay using a monoclonal antibody against virus core protein p19. All the four glioma cell lines tested became positive for p19 after 2 weeks of co-cultivation and showed a clear alteration of GFAP expression.

Abstract
In the introduction to this review two questions were posed: is the technology associated with ISH ready for general use, and will the method become an important investigative tool? With the exception of the demonstration of some single and low copy sequences, non-radioactive ISH is now sufficiently developed and simplified to make it a routine technique. It is also clear that ISH will continue to have an important research role. In diagnostic pathology the technique is already providing valuable information and the present decade should see the development of many more diagnostic applications.

Abstract
A novel highly sensitive non-radioactive DNA labeling and detection system based on the ELISA principle has been developed. DNA is modified with the cardenolide-hapten digoxigenin by enzymatic incorporation of digoxigenin-labeled deoxyuridine-triphosphate with Klenow enzyme. Digoxigenin is linked to dUTP via an 11-atom linear spacer (Dig-[11]-dUTP). Following hybridization of membrane-bound target-DNA with a digoxigenin-labeled probe, the hybrids are detected by an ELISA reaction using digoxigenin-specific antibodies covalently coupled to the marker enzyme alkaline phosphatase [(Dig):CIAP]. This binding of antibody: marker enzyme-conjugate is followed by an enzyme-catalysed coupled redox reaction with the colour substrates 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate (BCIP) and nitroblue tetrazolium salt (NBT) giving rise to a deep-blue coloured, water-insoluble precipitate directly adhering to the membrane. The digoxigenin system allows the detection of 0.1 pg homologous DNA within 16 h in dot- and Southern-blots on nitrocellulose or nylon membranes avoiding any significant background even after a prolonged period of color development. Due to its high sensitivity and specificity, the new system is appropriate for detection of single-copy genes in genomic blots as well as for Northern, slot, colony, plaque and in situ hybridizations.

Abstract
Several studies have shown the use of non-radioactive labelled DNA probes for in situ hybridisation, mainly to identify cellular DNA. In this study mRNA in situ hybridisation was performed on rat pituitary with biotinylated complementary (c) RNA probes for rat prolactin and growth hormone (GH), and compared with radioactive 35S-radiolabelled probes. Biotinylated cRNA probes were labelled with either biotin-11-UTP or with allylamine-UTP, the latter method being able to produce a higher yield of labelled RNA. Different detection systems were tested, and hybridisation signal was seen in cells of anterior pituitary with both types of biotinylated probes. The signals were detected using either avidin-biotin-complex with peroxidase (ABC), peroxidase-anti-peroxidase (PAP) or gold-silver methods. ABC peroxidase detected using glucose oxidase-diaminobenzidine (DAB)-nickel solution appeared to be the best method for detecting labelled RNA probes, with very strong signal and low background. The biotinylated probes were comparable in sensitivity to the radiolabelled probes in detecting prolactin and GH mRNAs in the anterior lobe of the rat pituitary. These results indicate an alternative methods of labelling and detection of biotinylated probes which could have a potential role in research and diagnostic techniques.

Abstract
We report here on a new sensitive and highly specific DNA staining technique which we have called sulpho-DNA staining. DNA staining is based on a sulphonylation reaction of 2'-deoxycytidine or cytidine that takes place in the 6th position of cytosine with ensuing immunodetection of the sulphonylated DNA. The specificity of DNA staining is introduced by the use of an antibody recognizing only modified DNA but not modified RNA, by recourse to an additional acid hydrolysis step which destroys RNA but not DNA. We describe here the optimal conditions for the sulphonylation of DNA using O-methylhydroxylamine and metabisulphite as reactants. The new DNA stain labels all nuclei in either normal human tissue or in tumor cells. For nuclear DNA the staining signal is higher for the sulpho-DNA staining than for the Feulgen staining for nuclear DNA. This new DNA staining technique is suitable for use on tissue sections as well as on cytosmears.

Abstract
The presence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) genome was investigated by applying in situ hybridisation techniques to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Twenty asymptomatic anti-HIV seronegative homosexual men were the subjects of our study. The cells were hybridised with: (1) an SP 64 plasmid containing the nine-kilobase SstI-SstI viral insert from the lambda BH 10 recombinant clone; this can recognise both viral RNA and proviral DNA, and (2) with a pA01 plasmid containing HBV DNA genome. The DNA probes were modified by inserting an antigenic sulfone group in the cytosine moieties and the visualisation was performed by a double antibody immunohistochemical reaction. In two subjects both the HIV genome and HBV DNA were detected whereas another two subjects were positive for HBV DNA and for the HIV genome respectively. Thus people who are seronegative for anti-HIV specific antibodies may be infected with HIV.

Abstract
We have investigated the presence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by using in situ hybridization on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from seronegative regular sexual partners of HIV-infected subjects. The cells were hybridized with a 9 kilobase (kb) Sstl-Sstl lambda BH 10 probe, which was able to recognize both viral mRNA and proviral cDNA. Labeling was done by chemical insertion of an antigenic sulfone group in cytosine moieties and was visualized by a double-antibody immunohistochemical reaction. In all the subjects studied, the HIV genome was present. The HIV infected cells showed morphological aspects consistent with that of lymphocytes and monocytes. Our data suggest that the anti-HIV seronegative individuals who are regular sexual partners of HIV-infected subjects may be HIV-infected.

Abstract
The presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was investigated using hybridization in 15 lymph nodes and one Kaposi's sarcoma skin lesion obtained from HIV-positive patients. Cryostat tissue sections were hybridized with chemically modified DNA probes for HBV and HIV. HIV genome was mainly observed in the cytoplasm of cells present in 7/15 lymph nodes and in the Kaposi's sarcoma skin lesion, thus indicating the expression of HIV replication. Control samples hybridized with an HTLV I probe were negative. HBV genome was found in the cytoplasm of lymphoid mononuclear cells in 2/7 lymph nodes, obtained from HIV+ patients without serum markers of ongoing HBV infection. Lymph node positivity for HBV DNA also confirms that lymphoid cells may be a target for HBV. Since HBV infection seems to precede HIV infection in nearly all patients, it is possible that it may represent a factor facilitating the development of the HIV-related disease.

Abstract
Methods for the simultaneous detection of two virus types in cytological preparations or tissue sections by non-radioactive in situ hybridization were investigated. As a model system, CaSki cells, which have human papilloma virus type 16 (HPV16) DNA integrated in their cellular genome, were in vitro infected with Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2). DNA probes for both viruses were labeled with biotin, acetylaminofluorene (AAF), and transaminated-sulfonated cytosine (TS-modified). Best results were obtained when a mixture of biotinated and haptenized DNA probes (AAF- or TS-modified) was used for hybridization. The biotinated hybrid was demonstrated with a streptavidin-biotinated alkaline phosphatase staining reaction, whereas the haptenized hybrid was visualized by an indirect peroxidase method. Visualisation of both viral DNAs in the same cell was possible by a combination of biotinated HPV16 DNA and haptenized HSV2 DNA.

Abstract
Virtually all microorganisms contain some unique nucleotide sequences which can be the target of deoxyribonucleic acid probes. Probes have been used successfully to identify a wide variety of pathogens from the simple ribonucleic acid-containing polioviruses to the complex filarial worms Brugia malayi. Probe technology offers the clinical laboratory the potential both to extend the types of pathogens that can be readily identified and to reduce significantly the time associated with the identification of fastidious microorganisms. Over a dozen commercially prepared deoxyribonucleic acid probe tests are now available. This article explores the development of deoxyribonucleic acid probe tests and reviews the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of many of the diagnostic probes developed during the last several years. Prospects for newer, more sensitive detection systems for the products of hybridization reactions are also reviewed.
