Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) developed highly intricates mechanisms exploiting host resources for its multiplication within a constrained genetic coding capacity. With the aid of a series of classical analytical methods such as ultrafiltration, and Southern and Northern blots, a general framework of HBV life cycle has been established. However, this picture still lacks many key histological contexts which involves pathophysiological changes of hepatocytes, non-parenchymal cells, infiltrated leukocytes, and associated extracellular matrix. Here, we describe a CISH protocol modified from the ViewRNA assay that allows direct visualization of HBV RNA, DNA, and cccDNA in liver tissue of chronic hepatitis B patients. By coupling it with immunohistochemistry and other histological stains, much richer information regarding the HBV-induced pathological changes can be harvested.
