چکیده
The availability of clones of nucleic acid (NA) specific for genes of most viral and other microbiological organisms has made possible various approaches to search for such sequences in clinical materials using hybridisation techniques. Radioactive or otherwise labelled NA clones or sequencespecific synthetic oligonucleotides (ONs) act as molecular probes in the search for complementary NA target sequences in the clinical specimens. These procedures have complemented the more traditional diagnostic techniques such as growth in tissue cul-
