Abstract

There is disclosed a method for evaluating acellular biological fluid for viral DNA, such as DNA of the Hepatitus-B virus, whereby the acellular biological fluid is treated to immobilize in denatured form the DNAs including the suspect viral DNA on a solid support or substrate with the resulting solid substrate being contacted with a solution including radioisotropically-labeled viral denatured DNA followed by analysis of solid substrate for radioisotopically-labeled suspect viral renatured DNA.
