title: Non-isotopic in situ hybridization at the ultrastructural level.
abstract: Non-isotopic in situ hybridization techniques are becoming increasingly widely used at the ultrastructural level, permitting rapid localization of nucleic acid targets with a high degree of resolution. Technical considerations dictate that the great specificity of the method cannot be matched by a similar degree of sensitivity; the value of non-isotopic ultrastructural in situ hybridization lies in its unique ability to localize nucleic acid targets in relation to submicroscopic cellular structures. This article presents an overview of non-isotopic ultrastructural hybridization methods and applications.
