Verification of in situ hybridization (ISH) digoxigenin (DIG) probe development by agarose electrophoresis. DIG-labeled probes were successfully developed using porcine circovirus 3 (PCV3) positive samples L43 and L53 as templates. Unlabeled probes were expected to be 69 bp, while corresponding labeled probes were expected to appear larger. The generated probes were used in subsequent ISH staining protocol. Lane 0: DNA ladder (Qiagen® GelPilot 50 bp ladder). Lane 1: Positive band for unlabeled experimental PCV3 probe from sample L43. Lane 2: Positive band for DIG-labeled experimental PCV3 probe from sample L43. Lane 3: Negative control. Lane 4: Positive band for unlabeled experimental PCV3 probe from sample L53. Lane 5: Positive band for DIG-labeled experimental PCV3 probe for sample L53. Lane 6: Negative control. Lane 7: DNA ladder (Qiagen® GelPilot 100 bp plus ladder).
