For amplification of in situ hybridization (ISH) signals, we describe a method using catalyzed reporter deposition (CARD). This amplification method is based on the deposition of biotinylated tyramine (BT) at the location of the DNA probe. The BT precipitate can then visualized with fluorochrome- or enzyme-labeled avidin. Both for bright-field ISH (BRISH) and for fluorescence ISH (FISH), the detection limit was highly increased. This method is especially suitable for visualization of very weak ISH signals, such as those obtained by ISH using locus-specific DNA probes. Furthermore, CARD amplification of ISH signals (CARD-ISH) is highly sensitive, rapid, flexible, and easy to implement. Successful application of CARD-ISH with locus-specific DNA probes on histological and cytological samples may improve the determination of structural chromosomal aberrations in archival material.

The emergence of the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a zoonotic pathogen, has led to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and brought serious threats to public health worldwide. The gold standard method for SARS-CoV-2 detection requires both reverse transcription (RT) of the virus RNA to cDNA and then polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the cDNA amplification, which involves multiple enzymes, multiple reactions and a complicated assay optimization process. Here, we developed a duplex-specific nuclease (DSN)-based signal amplification method for SARS-CoV-2 detection directly from the virus RNA utilizing two specific DNA probes. These specific DNA probes can hybridize to the target RNA at different locations in the nucleocapsid protein gene (N gene) of SARS-CoV-2 to form a DNA/RNA heteroduplex. DSN cleaves the DNA probe to release fluorescence, while leaving the RNA strand intact to be bound to another available probe molecule for further cleavage and fluorescent signal amplification. The optimized DSN amount, incubation temperature and incubation time were investigated in this work. Proof-of-principle SARS-CoV-2 detection was demonstrated with a detection sensitivity of 500 pM virus RNA. This simple, rapid, and direct RNA detection method is expected to provide a complementary method for the detection of viruses mutated at the PCR primer-binding regions for a more precise detection.
