title: [In situ hybridization. Theoretical principles and practical applications].
abstract: In situ hybridisation is a sensitive and reliable technique for the demonstration of DNA- or mRNA-sequences on histological tissue preparations. This review deals with the theoretical background as well as the benefits and limitations of the method; additionally the value of in situ hybridisation as a tool in routine diagnostic pathology is briefly described.
