| role of virus-infected mononuclear leukocytes in herpetic chorioretinitis of newborn rabbits. | the role of virus-infected mononuclear leukocytes (mnls) in the pathogenesis of neonatal herpetic chorioretinitis in newborn rabbits was investigated. as early as 2 days after inoculating the animals' skins with type 2 herpes simplex virus (hsv-2), infectious mnls in the infected animals' peripheral blood were found. the virus was associated, for the most part, with mnls that belonged to phagocytic and adherent cell fractions. observations by electron microscopy indicated that hsv-2 was actively ... | 1986 | 3759364 |
| delayed treatment with combinations of antiviral drugs in mice infected with herpes simplex virus and application of the median effect method of analysis. | mice were inoculated intracerebrally with a lethal dose of herpes simplex virus type 2. three days later, the mice were treated intraperitoneally, twice daily for 4 days, with the following drugs alone or in combination: acyclovir (acv), vidarabine (ara-a), 2'-fluoro-5-iodoaracytosine (fiac), and 2'-fluoro-5-methylarauracil (fmau). despite delayed treatment, most of the animals receiving low doses of fmau alone or in combination with acv or ara-a survived. in contrast, significantly higher morta ... | 1986 | 3777913 |
| intrauterine herpes simplex virus infections. | neonatal herpes simplex virus (hsv) infection is usually acquired at birth, although a few infants have had findings suggestive of intrauterine infection. we describe 13 babies who had clinical manifestations of intrauterine hsv infection, including skin lesions and scars at birth (12), chorioretinitis (eight), microcephaly (seven), hydranencephaly (five), and microphthalmia (two). all infants had combinations of these defects. infection was proved by viral isolation in each case; all isolates w ... | 1987 | 3794894 |
| xylotubercidin against herpes simplex virus type 2 in mice. | of a series of newly synthesized derivatives of the pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine nucleosides tubercidin, toyocamycin, and sangivamycin, the xylosyl analog of tubercidin, xylotubercidin, exhibited the greatest potency and selectivity against herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) in vitro. at dosage regimens that were not toxic for the host, xylotubercidin proved efficacious in various hsv-2 animal model infections. when applied topically at 0.25, 0.5, or 1% in dimethyl sulfoxide or when administered sy ... | 1986 | 3800347 |
| detection of asymptomatic herpes simplex virus infections after vaccination. | twenty-two volunteers seronegative for antibodies to herpes simplex virus (hsv) were enrolled in a trial to determine tolerance and immunogenicity of an hsv-2 glycoprotein subunit vaccine. vaccine was administered at days 0, 28, and 140, and sera were obtained on days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 49, 56, 140, 147, and 365 for determination of hsv neutralizing antibody activity and antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (adcc). sera were also tested by immunoprecipitation of radiolabeled hsv-2-infected ce ... | 1987 | 3806788 |
| expression of immunity to intravaginal herpes simplex virus type 2 infection in the genital tract and associated lymph nodes. | herpes simplex virus type 2 is a human venereal pathogen which causes lethal neurological illness after intravaginal inoculation into balb/cj mice. in the present studies, we demonstrate that intravaginal vaccination with an attenuated strain of this virus, which possesses a partial deletion of the thymidine kinase gene, rapidly induced durable immunity to lethal intravaginal challenge with wild-type virus. such immunity was characterized by a dramatic hyperplasia of genital lymph nodes and a si ... | 1987 | 3813891 |
| histopathologic characteristics of two forms of experimental herpes simplex virus retinitis. | herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) inoculated intracamerally into one anterior chamber of a balb/c mouse produces retinitis in the uninoculated contralateral eye within 7 to 10 days while the retina of the inoculated eye is spared. in sharp contrast, animals receiving hsv type 2 (hsv-2) by the anterior chamber route develop a dramatic retinitis in the inoculated eye by day 7 postinoculation while the retina of the contralateral eye remains uninvolved. histopathologic examination of retinal dest ... | 1987 | 3829704 |
| effect of neuraminidase on fc and c3b receptors on rabbit corneal cells infected with herpes simplex virus. | the effect of neuraminidase on fc receptors (fcr) and c3b receptors (c3br) was studied in epithelial, stromal and endothelial cells of the rabbit cornea infected with type 1 (hsv-1) and type 2 herpes simplex virus (hsv-2) in vitro. fcr were induced on epithelial, stromal and endothelial cells of the rabbit cornea by both hsv-1 and hsv-2, but their activities were not enhanced by neuraminidase. on the other hand, the treatment of hsv-infected corneal cells with neuraminidase resulted in the enhan ... | 1987 | 3829705 |
| the effect of prostaglandin e2 on the initial immune response to herpes simplex virus infection. | numerous clinical situations, demonstrated to be associated with reactivation of herpes simplex virus infections, have also been shown to produce increases in local levels of prostaglandins. the current study was initiated to determine if prostaglandins play a role in the immune response and control of herpes simplex virus infections. lymphocytes from volunteers were stimulated with concanavalin a, herpes simplex virus 1, or herpes simplex virus 2 in the presence of prostaglandin e2 or ibuprofen ... | 1985 | 3872073 |
| human monocyte-mediated cytotoxicity against herpes simplex virus-infected cells: activation of cytotoxic monocytes by free and liposome-encapsulated lymphokines. | human peripheral blood monocytes were incubated with free or liposome-encapsulated human lymphokines containing macrophage-activating factor (maf) and tested for their effect on herpes simplex virus (hsv)-infected target cells. activated monocytes lysed allogeneic hsv type 2 (hsv-2)-infected whole human embryo cells and xenogeneic balb/c mouse embryo cells (10e2) without any significant effect on uninfected cells, as measured by release of 51cr from target cells after 18 h of cocultivation. kine ... | 1985 | 3882870 |
| the effect of dimethylnitrosamine on host resistance and immunity. | adult female b6c3f1 mice were injected ip with 0.2 ml phosphate-buffered saline (pbs) only or pbs containing 1.5, 3, or 5 mg dimethylnitrosamine (dmn)/kg body wt daily for 14 days. on day 16, mice were evaluated for changes in immune status as measured by the antibody response to sheep red blood cells (srbcs), blastogenesis to t- and b-cell mitogens, natural killer (nk) cell function, delayed hypersensitivity, and alveolar macrophage (am) bactericidal activity; and for changes in host resistance ... | 1985 | 3883572 |
| incidence of herpes genitalis in northern ireland in 1973-83 and herpes simplex types 1 and 2 isolated in 1982-4. | during 1973 - 83 there was a pronounced rise in the number of new cases of herpes genitalis in northern ireland. this study of 127 patients with herpes genitalis shows that 30% had herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv 1) and 70% had herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv 2) infections. of 41 sexual contacts who attended, only seven had herpes genitalis (caused in each case by hsv 2); another patient had a history of genital lesions, and one other of oral lesions, but hsv was not isolated from either patie ... | 1986 | 3949348 |
| viral meningitis. | viral meningitis is part of the aseptic meningitis syndrome but must be distinguished from bacterial meningitis on the basis of a careful examination of the csf and sound clinical judgment. enteroviruses probably account for the bulk of cases of aseptic meningitis that occur in the united states and which are reported to the centers for disease control each year. the seasonal pattern in the incidence of aseptic meningitis is largely due to the seasonal variation of enteroviral infections. early ... | 1985 | 3990441 |
| cigarette smoking, herpes simplex virus type 2 infection, and cervical abnormalities. | in a case-control study, we investigated the relation of cigarette smoking and genital herpes virus infection to cervical abnormalities. although cases and controls differed according to several factors, multiple logistic analyses indicated that age, education, and cigarette smoking were the only independent risk factors for histologically confirmed disease. relative risk estimates were 1.92 and 3.68 for past and current smokers, respectively. the results indicated that smoking and genital herpe ... | 1985 | 4003639 |
| nucleosides. 133. synthesis of 5-alkenyl-1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-d-arabinofuranosyl)cytosines and related pyrimidine nucleosides as potential antiviral agents. | the synthesis of 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-d-arabinofuranosyl)cytosines with a halovinyl or vinyl substituent at c-5 was accomplished from the corresponding 5-iodo (fiac, 1) and/or 5-chloromercuri nucleoside analogues with use of li2pdcl4- and pd(oac)2-mediated coupling reactions. thiation of the benzoylated derivative of the 5-ethyluracil nucleoside 3 followed by s-methylation and then ammonolysis provided 5-ethyl-2'-fluoro-ara-c. 5-ethynyl-2'-fluoro-ara-c (19a) and 5-ethynyl-2'-fluoro-ara-u (19 ... | 1985 | 4009596 |
| degradation of cellular mrnas induced by a virion-associated factor during herpes simplex virus infection of vero cells. | we have used northern blot hybridization to study the accumulation of specific cellular mrnas in vero cells infected with herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 1 or type 2. hsv-1 infection decreased the cytoplasmic levels of beta- and gamma-actin, beta-tubulin, and histone h3 and h4 mrnas, though not all at the same rate. hsv-2 infection resulted in a more rapid decrease in actin and histone mrna levels compared with hsv-1 infection. the turnover rate of each type of mrna studied was accelerated in hs ... | 1985 | 4020960 |
| oligosaccharide chains of herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein gg.2. | gg.2 glycoprotein was purified by h966 monoclonal antibodies linked to sepharose from herpes simplex virus type 2-infected hep-2 cells labeled with [3h] glucosamine. the glycoprotein was subjected to pronase digestion and the glycopeptides were fractionated by con a-sepharose in a major fraction (88.5% of total radioactivity) unbound to the lectin gel and in a minor species which bound to the lectin as a n-linked diantennary oligosaccharide. mild and strong acid hydrolysis of con a-unbound and c ... | 1985 | 4026310 |
| synergistic antiviral effects of acyclovir and vidarabine on herpes simplex infection in newborn mice. | 277 5-7-day-old white swiss mice were infected intranasally with herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv2) to mimic disseminated herpetic infection in human newborns. the antiviral efficacy of acyclovir, vidarabine and specific antiserum (sas) alone and in combination was assessed. a significant increase in survival rate (52%) was observed with the combination of acyclovir (80 mg/kg/day) and vidarabine (125 mg/kg/day) compared to either compound (24 and 6%, respectively) when therapy was begun 30 h aft ... | 1985 | 4028874 |
| [herpes simplex virus infections]. | there are two serological types of herpes simplex virus, hsv-1 and hsv-2. the types can be differentiated by different methods. after a primary infection hsv reaches the sensory ganglions by the way of peripheral nervous tracts. the virus remains for life in the ganglion as virus genome. after activation and return movement a new infection can appear. a lot of various diseases are caused by primary infection, reactivation or reinfection. the diagnosis in herpes virus diseases includes the detect ... | 1985 | 4039869 |
| synergistic effect of herpes simplex virus and cytosine arabinoside on human chromosomes. | the combined treatment of cultures of human embryonic lung cells with herpes simplex virus type 2 and cytosine arabinoside produced a significantly increased number of cells containing multiple chromatid and chromosome breaks. the incidence of such cells was found to be approximately two and one half times greater than the additive effects of virus and cytosine arabinoside induced separately and is therefore synergistic. | 1971 | 4104257 |
| properties of hamster embryo fibroblasts transformed in vitro after exposure to ultraviolet-irradiated herpes simplex virus type 2. | an in vitro method which led to the transformation of hamster embryo fibroblasts after exposure to herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) inactivated with ultraviolet irradiation is described. the transformed cells (333-8-9) produced tumors when inoculated into newborn syrian hamsters but not when injected into weanling syrian hamsters of the same lsh inbred strain. however, after one in vivo passage, the 333-8-9 cells became highly oncogenic in weanling hamsters. no infectious virus was recovered ... | 1971 | 4108570 |
| absence of leukosis virus markers in hamster cells transformed by herpes simplex virus type 2. | hamster cells which transformed after exposure to herpes simplex virus type 2 previously irradiated with ultraviolet light were tested for the presence of hamster leukosis viruses or their virus-specific antigens. three techniques that were used did not detect the presence of either hamster c-type particles or antigens commonly associated with such structures. the implication of these findings to current concepts of virus oncology is discussed. | 1972 | 4113887 |

| rapid detection of herpes simplex virus in clinical specimens by use of a capture biotin-streptavidin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent capture assay with biotin and streptavidin (capture b/sa elisa) was developed to detect herpes simplex virus (hsv) antigen. rabbit anti-hsv antibody (immunoglobulin g fraction) was coated on flat-bottom, irradiated, 96-well polystyrene microtiter plates and served to capture hsv antigen. clinical specimens from patients with genital herpes were added. biotin-linked rabbit anti-hsv immunoglobulin g was used as the second antibody. the antigen-antibody compl ... | 1984 | 6086705 |
| antibodies to a synthetic oligopeptide that react with herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 glycoprotein c. | nucleotide sequence and mrna localization studies have allowed the prediction of the amino acid sequence of herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) glycoprotein c (gc). we immunized a rabbit with a conjugate of bovine serum albumin and a synthetic peptide having the same sequence as that deduced for amino acids 128 through 139 of hsv-1 gc. a very similar amino acid sequence has been predicted to exist in the related product, herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) gc, which was formerly designated gf. p ... | 1984 | 6086954 |
| small fragments of herpesvirus dna with transforming activity contain insertion sequence-like structures. | a 737-base-pair fragment of herpes simplex virus type 2 dna with morphological-transforming ability was identified by transfecting into rodent cells deleted fragments of the left-hand end of the bgl ii n fragment region (map position 0.58-0.625), which were constructed in vitro. the transforming sequences lie within the coding region for a mr 61,000 protein, but the fragment itself does not appear to specify a viral polypeptide. contained within the transforming fragment are sequences that can b ... | 1984 | 6087345 |
| reliable identification of herpes simplex viruses by dna restriction endonuclease analysis with ecori. | a simple procedure that permits the rapid identification of clinical isolates of herpes simplex virus (hsv, type 1 or type 2) on the basis of stable and type-specific differences in the ecori restriction endonuclease patterns of the hsv-1 and hsv-2 genomes was tested for reliability. complete concordance was first obtained for 298 hsv isolates typed by standard laboratory procedures and by analysis of the dna profiles. two other hsv isolates showing intermediate biologic, immunologic, and/or bio ... | 1984 | 6087480 |
| inapparent genital herpes simplex infection in women attending a venereal disease clinic. | the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic genital infection with herpes simplex virus in women attending a venereal disease clinic in puerto rico. genital samples were obtained from 123 consecutively enrolled patients. vero cells were used for viral isolation; isolates demonstrating cytopathic effect were stored at -70 c and were typed by use of monoclonal antibodies. herpes simplex virus was isolated from six patients, three of whom were free of any possible comp ... | 1984 | 6087481 |
| herpes simplex virus transmission: condom studies. | the incidence of genital herpes simplex infections has risen at a rapid rate over the past 20 years. sexually active young adults ask whether condoms will effectively block the transmission of herpes simplex virus from one individual to another. using a laboratory plunger model to stimulate human coitus, the authors have shown that high concentrations of hsv-2 did not cross the latex or natural membrane condoms that were tested. we have also shown that high concentrations of hsv-2 left in contac ... | 1984 | 6087482 |
| herpes simplex virus type-2 glycoprotein-subunit vaccine: tolerance and humoral and cellular responses in humans. | twenty-three subjects were administered three doses of inactivated herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 2 (hsv-2) glycoprotein-subunit vaccine, with doses 2 and 3 being given four and 22 weeks after dose 1. both hsv-neutralizing antibody and antibody effective in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity were detected in serum samples of 12 of the 13 initially seronegative subjects by week 8. the geometric mean titers of both antibody types decreased between weeks 8 and 22 but increased one week ... | 1984 | 6088648 |
| immunity in the female genital tract after intravaginal vaccination of mice with an attenuated strain of herpes simplex virus type 2. | herpes simplex virus type 2 is a common human venereal pathogen which causes lethal neurological illness after intravaginal inoculation into balb/cj mice. to investigate whether an attenuated, nonlethal strain of this virus would confer immunity after inoculation of mice, we constructed a strain containing a partial deletion of the thymidine kinase gene, which is necessary for viral replication and spread in sensory ganglia. unlike its wild-type counterpart, this deletion-containing strain of he ... | 1984 | 6088797 |
| rapid identification of cloned hsv2 dna fragments. | randomly generated herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv2) dna fragments can be localized on the viral genome by digestion with smai and subsequent comparison of the resulting fragment patterns with a reference picture of smai-digested recombinant plasmids that contain inserts representing the entire hsv2 (strain 333) genome as adjacent fragments. the feasibility of the technique, which we call 'sma fingerprinting' and which is much faster than fragment identification by blot hybridization, is demons ... | 1984 | 6090338 |
| the immunocytochemical detection of herpes simplex virus in cervical smears--a valuable technique for routine use. | herpes simplex virus type 2 is demonstrated in routine cervical smears by immunocytochemistry. optimum antibody dilution and suitable fixation were determined and immunostaining results were found to compare favourably with those obtained by screening papanicolaou-stained smears or by virus culture methods (virus isolation). results obtained for immunostaining of smears from 158 patients agreed with those of virus isolation in 47 of 50 cases where virus isolation was performed. it is suggested t ... | 1984 | 6090625 |
| characterization of herpes simplex virus 1 alpha proteins 0, 4, and 27 with monoclonal antibodies. | analyses of the reactivity and patterns of synthesis of infected cell polypeptides (icps) specified by herpes simplex virus (hsv) 1 and 2 and by hsv-1 x hsv-2 recombinants indicated that monoclonal antibody h1183 reacted with hsv-1 alpha icp0, whereas monoclonal antibody h1113 reacted with both hsv-1 and hsv-2 alpha icp27. h1083 and h1113 and a monoclonal antibody to icp4 (h640) similar to one previously described (d. k. braun et al., j. virol. 46:103-112.) were then used to study the properties ... | 1984 | 6090689 |
| extensive homology between the herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein f gene and the herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein c gene. | the region of the herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) genome which maps colinearly with the hsv-1 glycoprotein c (gc) gene has been cloned, and the dna sequence of a 2.29-kilobase region has been determined. contained within this sequence is a major open reading frame of 479 amino acids. the carboxyterminal three-fourths of the derived hsv-2 protein sequence showed a high degree of sequence homology to the hsv-1 gc amino acid sequence reported by frink et al. (j. virol. 45:634-647, 1983). the am ... | 1984 | 6090692 |
| complement-requiring neutralizing antibody in guinea pigs with primary and recurrent genital herpes. | guinea pigs inoculated intravaginally with herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) strain 1868 produced a serum complement-requiring neutralizing (crn) antibody during primary acute infection, i.e., 10 days postinoculation. the crn antibody titers in the guinea pig sera decreased to less than 1:10 after heating at 56 degrees c for 30 min. it was found that 32 units of complement were necessary to obtain a satisfactory hsv-2 neutralizing antibody titer. nonheated sera significantly reduced virus infe ... | 1984 | 6091148 |
| more rapid isolation of herpes simplex virus in a continuous line of mink lung cells than in vero or human fibroblast cells. | herpes simplex virus (hsv) was isolated from clinical specimens more rapidly in mink lung (ml) cells, a continuous cell line available from a commercial supplier, than in vero cells or human fibroblast (hf) cells. stock strains of hsv type 1 (hsv-1) and hsv-2 titered higher in ml cells than in vero or hf cells. ml cells were equivalent to rabbit kidney (rk) cells in the isolation of hsv in clinical specimens, but titers of stock hsv strains were lower. ml cells could be employed to type strains ... | 1984 | 6091988 |
| the antiviral spectrum of (e)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine. | the antiviral activity spectrum of (e)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (bvdu) is not restricted to herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and varicella-zoster virus (vzv) but also encompasses several other herpesviruses such as suid herpesvirus type 1 (shv-1), bovid herpesvirus type 1 (bhv-1), simian varicella virus (svv), herpesvirus saimiri, herpesvirus platyrrhinae, and the baculovirus trichoplusia ni multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus. other herpesviruses such as herpes simplex virus type 2, ... | 1984 | 6092320 |
| expression of recombinant genes containing herpes simplex virus delayed-early and immediate-early regulatory regions and trans activation by herpesvirus infection. | the promoter-regulatory regions from the herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) gene for the immediate-early, 175,000-molecular-weight (175k) protein and the hsv-2 delayed-early gene for a 38k protein were linked to the readily assayable bacterial gene for the enzyme chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat). unexpectedly, in measurements of the constitutive expression of the recombinant genes 40 to 50 h after transfection of vero cells, enzyme levels expressed from the delayed-early 38k-promoter-cat ... | 1984 | 6092673 |
| herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 homology in the region between 0.58 and 0.68 map units. | the homology between herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 (hsv-1 and hsv-2, respectively) dna between 0.58 and 0.674 map units was compared by southern and dot blot analysis with dna of one type of virus as a hybridization probe against the other type. regions of high homology were interspersed with regions of detectably lower homology. however, only one region (between 0.647 and 0.653 map units) contained few or no homologous sequences. in situ rna blot hybridization demonstrated that the mrn ... | 1984 | 6092683 |
| ribonucleotide reductase of herpes simplex virus type 2 resembles that of herpes simplex virus type 1. | the ribonucleotide reductase (ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase; ec 1.17.4.1) induced by herpes simplex virus type 2 infection of serum-starved bhk-21 cells was purified to provide a preparation practically free of both eucaryotic ribonucleotide reductase and contaminating enzymes that could significantly deplete the substrates. certain key properties of the herpes simplex virus type 2 ribonucleotide reductase were examined to define the extent to which it resembled the herpes simplex virus t ... | 1984 | 6092726 |
| the nervous system in genital herpes simplex virus type 2 infections in mice. lethal panmyelitis or nonlethal demyelinative myelitis or meningitis. | female mice were inoculated vaginally with the ms strain of herpes simplex virus type 2, and serially positive vaginal cultures were used to confirm infection. the proportion of mice infected and the mortality rate in infected mice decreased with increasing age. in mice 12 weeks old, clinical, neuropathologic, and virologic criteria defined four patterns of disease. moribund mice had severe genital lesions, hindleg paralysis, and urinary and fecal retention, and most died during the second week ... | 1984 | 6092778 |
| characterisation of a herpes simplex virus type 1 mutant which has a temperature-sensitive defect in penetration of cells and assembly of capsids. | a herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) mutant, ts1204, which has a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutation located within genome map coordinates 0.318 to 0.324, close to but outside the coding sequences of the glycoprotein gb gene, has been characterised. although this mutant adsorbed to the cell surface at the nonpermissive temperature (npt), it failed to penetrate the cell membrane. as a consequence of this defect, high multiplicities of infection of ts1204 blocked subsequent infection of cells by ... | 1984 | 6093367 |
| interactions between herpes simplex virus dna-binding proteins. | monoclonal antibodies directed against several herpes simplex virus (hsv)-induced dna-binding proteins were used to investigate protein interactions in hsv-infected cells. q1 monoclonal antibody, which is specific for the hsv-induced alkaline nuclease, when used in an immunoadsorbant column resulted in the purification of the alkaline nuclease, to which large quantities of the major dna-binding protein were bound. conversely, when a monoclonal antibody to the major dna-binding protein was used i ... | 1984 | 6094715 |
| infection of murine hepatocyte cultures by herpes simplex virus (hsv) 1 and 2. | a study was undertaken of the interaction between liver cells and herpes simplex virus (hsv) in vitro. hepatocytes were obtained from hsv-resistant (c57/b16) and from hsv-susceptible (balb/c, a/j, c3h) mouse strains and cultured according to standard methods. each culture was infected with several strains of hsv-type 1 or of hsv-type 2, respectively. the multiplicity of infection was 5. the cytopathic effect was evaluated by light- and electron-microscopy. the number of infectious particles was ... | 1984 | 6094943 |
| herpes simplex virus latency in immunosuppressed mice. | to determine the role of antibodies in establishing herpes simplex virus (hsv) latency, immunosuppressed swiss mice were experimentally infected in the right hind footpad with a hsv-1 x hsv-2 recombinant (c6d) with low virulence. immunosuppression was induced by repeated intraperitoneal inoculations of cyclophosphamide (cy) and the production of antibodies to c6d in immunosuppressed animals was monitored by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). within 21 days after inoculation, c6d was able ... | 1984 | 6094985 |
