detection of herpesvirus type-specific antibody by a micro solid phase radioimmunometric assay.a micro solid phase radioimmunometric assay has been developed which measures type-specific antibody in human sera to herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and type 2 (hsv-2). the test is performed by coating wells of microtiter plates with purified hsv-specified glycoproteins, vp123 and vp119, derived from hsv-1- and hsv-2-infected cells, respectively. the coated wells are then incubated with diluted unadsorbed sera and subsequently with radioiodinated goat anti-human igg reagent. because these m ...197994044
a rapid technique for distinguishing herpes-simplex virus type 1 from type 2 by restriction-enzyme technology.a rapid simplified technique, based on restriction-endonuclease analysis of radioactively labelled d.n.a. is described; it distinguishes herpes-simplex virus type 1 strains from herpes-simplex virus type 2 unambiguously. large numbers of isolates can be screened in 4--5 days.197986095
microfluorometric quantitation of size, deoxyribonucleic acid and viral antigenic determinants in cells productively infected with hsv-2.the interaction of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) with the eukaryotic human cell line (hep-2) was investigated by flow microfluorometric analysis. the three parameters that were quantitated include cell size, deoxyribonucleic acid content and the expression of virus-specific antigens. productively infected cells are always smaller than uninfected ones, and they resolve into two populations with respect to viral antigenic content. consistent with viral replication, one of these two populatio ...197994525
immunoelectrophoretic identification and purification of herpes simplex virus antigens released from infected cells in tissue culture.proteins released from herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1)-and type 2 (hsv-2)-infected hep-2 cells have been characterized by the crossed immunoelectrophoretic technique. both hsv type-common and type-specific antigens were found in the tissue culture medium 24 h after infection. antigen ag-6, an hsv-1-specific antigen, was found in high concentration in the medium as compared to other hsv antigens released from hsv-1-infected cells. the hsv-2-specific antigens, ag-4 and ag-1, were released in m ...197985610
production of monoclonal antibodies against nucleocapsid proteins of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2.we prepared mouse hybrid cell lines which produced antibodies against herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 nucleocapsids. cell lines 1d4 and 3e1, respectively, secreted immunoglobulin g1 herpes simplex virus type 1 and immunoglobulin g1 herpes simplex virus type 2 antibodies which immunoprecipitated proteins designated p40 and p45 from homologous nucleocapsid preparations but precipitated no proteins from heterologous preparations. in contrast, guinea pig antisera prepared against either herpes sim ...197991687

alterations in glycosphingolipid patterns in a line of african green monkey kidney cells infected with herpesvirus.the major glycosphingolipids (gsls) of a line of african green monkey kidney cells (bgm) were characterized as glucosylceramide, lactosylceramide, galactosyl-galactosyl-glucosylceramide, and n-acetylgalactosaminyl-galactosyl-galactosyl-glucosylceramide. neutral gsls accounted for approximately 80% of the total gsls isolated. the predominant gangliosides were n-acetylneuraminyl-galactosyl-glucosylceramide, n-acetylgalactosaminyl-n-acetylneuraminyl-galactosyl- glucosylceramide, and galactosyl-n-ac ...1979229262
host-cell response to herpes virus infection in central and peripheral nervous tissue in vitro.in an organotypic nerve cell culture system, all cells in both the central and the peripheral nervous system (cns, pns) components supported replication of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (hsv 1, hsv 2). in hsv 1 infection, cellular response was particularly characterized by the formation of small syncytia (which involved neurons) and by the presence of bundles of interwoven fine filaments within the nuclei of infected cells. in hsv 2 infection, groups of parallel tubules characteristically f ...1979231090
blocking of acid-fixed nuclear binding of epstein-barr virus nuclear antigen (ebna) by different dna species.treatment of epstein-barr virus-determined nuclear antigen (ebna) with dna resulted in blocking of its ability to convert acid-fixed ebna-negative cell nuclei to an ebna-positive form. epstein-barr virus (ebv) dna, herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) dna and dna isolated from three lymphoblastoid cell lines differed in their potency to block this reaction. ebv dna was found to be about three times more effective than cellular dnas in abolishing the ability of dna-cellulose-purified ebna to conve ...1979231093
mutant of herpes simplex virus type 2 with temperature-sensitive lesions affecting virion thermostability and dnase activity: identification of the lethal mutation and physical mapping of the nuc-lesion.we had previously shown that a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of herpes simplex virus type 2 strain hg52, ts13, induced a heat-labile dnase activity in infected cells (b. francke, h. moss, m. c. timbury, and j. hay, j. virol. 26:209-213, 1978). earlier work indicated that the mutant also possessed temperature-sensitive infectivity (i. w. halliburton and m. c. timbury, j. gen. virol. 30:207-221, 1976). in this study temperature-stable revertants of ts13 have been isolated; examination of them ...1979232166
effect of trisodium phosphonoformate in genital infection of female guinea pigs with herpes simplex virus type 2.a genital herpesvirus type 2 infection in guinea pigs has been used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of phosphonoformate on the infection. an early topical treatment prevented the appearance of vesicles and histopathological changes and no virus could be recovered. when treatment, either topical or both systemic and topical, was delayed to 24 hours post infection no therapeutic effect was observed.1979508093
effects of cannabinoids on host resistance to listeria monocytogenes and herpes simplex virus.previous investigations from our laboratories have demonstrated that cannabinoids possess immunosuppressive properties. the present studies were designed to determine whether these agents decrease host resistance to infections with listeria monocytogenes and herpes simplex virus type 2. host resistance was measured by changes in the 50% lethal dose of the pathogen in cannabinoid-treated and control mice. the effect of cannabinoids on resistance to l. monocytogens was dose dependent. delta-9-tetr ...1979313368
effects of antimetabolites on the production of tubular structures in vero cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 2.treatment of vero cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 with the proper concentrations of hydroxyurea (hu) reduced the production of infectious virus and markedly increased the accumulation of tubular structures in the nuclei when the drug was added within 6 hours after infection. similar accumulation of tubular structures in the infected nuclei was also observed when infected cells were treated with phosphonoacetic acid at proper concentrations. the release of hu-treated, herpes simpl ...1979229802
isolation of the major herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1)-specific glycoprotein by hydroxylapatite chromatography and its use in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for titration of human hsv-1-specific antibodies.a 131,000 molecular weight herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) glycoprotein designated antigen number 6 (ag-6) was previously shown to possess almost exclusively hsv-1-specific antigenic sites. fused rocket and crossed immunoelectrophoresis of fractions obtained from hydroxylapatite chromatography of crude hsv-1 antigen (triton x-100-solubilized, infected tissue culture cells) showed that a subfraction of ag-6 could be separated from the other hsv antigens. enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with ...1979230199
tumorgenicity of herpesvirus hominis type 2-transformed cells (line 333-8-9) in adult hamsters.inoculation of adult hamsters with greater than 1.5 x 10(2) herpesvirus type 2 (hsv-2) transformed hamster embryo fibroblasts induced rapidly growing tumours at the site of inoculation, in more than 50 per cent of animals. the tumours were examined by light and electron microscopy, and were histologically anaplastic fibrosarcomas. lung metastases were frequently found in tumour-bearing animals; these were usually only seen microscopically, and were cytologically similar to the primary tumours. t ...1979231649
necrotising balanitis due to a generalised primary infection with herpes simplex virus type 2.virological studies have proved herpes simplex virus type 2 to be the cause of the severe primary infection in a 37-year-old man with necrotising balanitis. symptoms of urethritis preceded the appearance of a severe local lesion; dissemination of infection occurred and lesions developed on the skin of the scalp, neck, trunk, buttocks, arms, legs, and feet. no evidence of involvement of the central nervous system was found, and the penile and skin lesions improved rapidly after the application of ...1979427514
[modelling of viral-chemical carcinogenesis in chronic infection in mice caused by the herpes simplex type 2 virus].the influence of chronic herpetic infection of white mice caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) on the blastomogenic effect of a polycyclic hydro-carbon, 20-methylcholanthrene (20-mca), was studied. solid tumors developed in 20-mca-treated mice on the side of the carcinogen administration within 81--89 days. the simultaneous administration of 70 intracerebral ld50 of hsv-2 subcutaneously into a hind leg pad and 0.1 mg 20-mca subcutaneously into the inguinal area was accompanied by a syne ...1979462927
[seroepidemiological study of herpes simplex virus type 2 in adult women of costa rica].the frequency of genital herpes simplex type 2 infections in a group of twenty adult costa rican women was studied by isolation of the virus and the measurement of neutralizing antibody activity in sera. the virus could not be isolated in any of the vaginal secretions. neutralizing antibody activity to herpes virus types 1 and 2 was found in sera from sixteen subjects. an antibody ii/i index equal to or larger than 87, indicative of infection with herpes simplex type 2 was found in fifty per cen ...1979233038
the presence of herpes simplex virus dna in hamster embryo cells transformed by a temperature sensitive mutant, ts-4.hamster embryo cells transformed with a temperature sensitive mutant of hsv-2, ts-4t, were examined for the presence of viral genomes. dna-dna reassociation kinetics showed that only a small portion (11 +/- 4%) of hsv-2 was present in the transformed cells.1979231439
comparative study of herpes group virus-induced dna polymerases.a comparative biochemical study of virus-induced dna polymerases was made among the herpes group viruses: namely, herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 1 and type 2, human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) and varicella-zoster virus (vzv). although these virus-induced enzymes shared some biochemical properties, they differed in several important aspects. all these virus-induced dna polymerases could efficiently use poly(dc) . oligo(dg)12--18 and poly(da) . oligo(dt)12--18 as template-primers. however, in phospho ...1979231586
presence of herpes simplex virus type 2 dna in hamster cells oncogenically transformed by ultraviolet-inactivated virus.herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) dna has been detected by molecular hybridization in hamster fibroblast cells oncogenically transformed by ultraviolet-irradiated virus. at early passages after cloning in soft agar, about 40% of the hsv-2 genome was present in all the transformed cell lines at one to six copies per cell. in cell lines derived from tumors induced by these cells, the same percentage of the hsv-2 genome was also found with more uniform number of copies (between two and three). th ...1979224988
serological studies on the antigenic relationship between herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus.if crossreacting antibodies between varicella-zoster virus (vzv) and herpes simplex virus (hsv) exist, one would expect more positive reactions with vzv in a group of hsv positive patients than in a group of hsv negative patients. this statement can only apply to a group of individuals where positive and negative reactions with respect to hsv and vzv are evenly distributed. such a distribution can only be found among children. therefore, the relationship between hsv-1 and vzv was the only one wh ...1979232073
phosphorylation of a ribosomal protein and of virus-specific proteins in cells infected with herpes simplex virus.in cells infected with herpes simplex virus a protein associated with the small subunit of ribosomes became phosphorylated. it was not detectably labelled with 14c-amino acids added after infection and is therefore probably a cellular protein. the phosphorylated ribosomal proteins from hsv-1- and hsv-2-infected cells were indistinguishable electrophoretically and had an apparent mol. wt. of about 48 000. phosphorylation of the 48k protein was detected 2 to 3 h after infection and reached a maxim ...1979232130
virus-specific dna sequences present in cells which carry the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene.two independently derived cell lines which carry the herpes simplex type 2 thymidine kinase gene have been examined for the presence of hsv-2-specific dna sequences. both cell lines contained 1 to 3 copies per cell of a sequence lying within map co-ordinates 0.2 to 0.4 of the hsv-2 genome. revertant cells, which contained no detectable thymidine kinase, did not contain this dna sequence. the failure of ecor1-restricted hsv-2 dna to act as a donor of the thymidine kinase gene in transformation ex ...1979232133
life-threatening pharyngitis caused by herpes simplex virus, type 2.a 21-year-old man who had pharyngitis needed hospitalization for observation of airway patency and for parenteral fluid therapy. infection with herpes simplex virus, type 2 (hsv-2), was diagnosed on the basis of the finding of significantly increased igm indirect hemagglutination antibody titers. the pharyngitis appeared to have been contracted by heterosexual orogenital contact (cunnilingus). the results of this case study indicate that hsv-2 infection should be considered in the differential d ...1979221994

reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 2 from a quiescent state by human cytomegalovirus.the ability of human cytomegalovirus to stimulate replication of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) was examined. the system used involved hsv-2-infected human embryonic lung cells under conditions (39.5-40 degrees c) in which hsv-2 remains undetectable. reactivation of hsv-2 was maximal and persisted for the longest duration when cultures were superinfected with 0.02 plaque-forming unit of human cytomegalovirus per cell. infectious hsv-2 appeared 2 days after superinfection with human cytomega ...1979230494
growth inhibition by acycloguanosine of herpesviruses isolated from human infections.inhibition by acycloguanosine (acg) of plaque formation by harpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (hsv-1 and hsv-2), varicella-zoster virus, and cytomegalovirus was studied. seventeen clinical isolates of hsv-1 were inhibited by acg at a mean 50% inhibitory dose (id(50)) of 0.15 +/- 0.09 mum. the mean id(50) for 10 isolates of hsv-2 was 1.62 +/- 0.76 mum, and for four isolates of varicella-zoster virus it was 3.75 +/- 1.30 mum. the id(50)'s for two cytomegalovirus isolates were 100 and 160 mum, and ...1979230783
[epidemiology of carcinoma of the cervix (author's transl)].in order to explain why modes of sexual life influence the incidence of cervical carcinoma, several factors have been claimed to be involved. there is no solid basis for the hypothesis that sperm may be mutagenic. by contrast, epidemiological studies showed that partners whose life is not sedentary bring back home to their wives an increased risk of cervical carcinoma. the infectious factor does not seem to be associated with syphilis but may well be represented by herpes genitalis virus (herpes ...1979230875
stimulation of human cell dna synthesis by defective herpes simplex virus type 2. 1979228477
herpes virus infection as a cofactor in carcinogenesis: supernatants of herpes virus type 1- and type 2-infected cell cultures contain a cell growth-stimulating factor.some cell cultures synthesize a mitogenic factor (dnasf) following their lytic infection with either hsv-1 or hsv-2 which is shed into the medium. of six cell lines permissive to hsv infection tested, three produce dnasf (cv1, hf, mca) and a significantly higher (3h)-tdr incorporation was obtained with indicator cells growing in supernatants of virus-infected cells (supv+) than in the corresponding supernatants of sham-treated cells (supv-). sometimes the values obtained with supv+ exceed those ...1979223098
virucidal activity of retinal.herpes simplex virus type 2 and simian virus 40 were rapidly inactivated by retinal at micromolar concentrations. other fat-soluble vitamins, particularly vitamin a derivatives, were also active against herpes simplex virus type 2 and several lipid-containing bacteriophages.1979228596
some aspects of the role of viruses in cancer.the cells of tumours induced by many oncogenic dna viruses, or cells transformed in vitro, contain virus-specific t and transplantation antigens; these have been described for sv40 virus, polyoma virus and adenoviruses. the investigation of viruses as causes of malignant disease in man has sought to establish whether tumour cells possess these virus-specific proteins; however, to date and with the limitations of present techniques, this enquiry has not demonstrated the above viruses as causal of ...1979223141
regulation of persistent infection with herpes simplex virus in vitro by hydrocortisone.about 1% of raji cells showed sensitivity to herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) infection when tested by infectious center assays or immunofluorescence tests, and the percentage did not change during cell passage. the addition of hydrocortisone to raji cells persistently infected with hsv-2 caused a marked increase in virus production and in the number of hsv-producing cells. in the case of hsv-1, it was shown that the addition of hydrocortisone was required to maintain persistent infection. th ...1979229255
association of herpes simplex virus (hsv) with cervical cancer by lymphocyte reactivity with hsv-1 and hsv-2 antigens.twenty-six women with invasive cervical cancer were examined for lymphocyte responsiveness to phytohemagglutinin (pha) herpes simplex virus (hsv). blood specimens were obtained from each patient before radiation therapy and separated into subpopulations by ficoll-hypaque centrifugation. lymphocytes were cultured in rpmi-1640 containing autologous plasma and exposed to pha, hsv-1, hsv-2, and control antigens. the results compared with those of women having negative papanicolaou smears and matched ...1979223438

storage and transport of cultures for herpes simplex virus, type 2.tryptic soy broth and brain-heart infusion broth maintained herpes simplex virus within +/- 1 serial dilution of the original titer in all of 51 samples held for one to three days at 4 c. in contrast, holding temperatures of -20 c or 22 c resulted in losses of titer of 10(2) or more. holding periods as long as five days prior to inoculation did not delay the appearance of the cytopathic effect following inoculation. unmodified tryptic soy broth or brain-heart infusion broth and holding periods a ...1979229726
physical mapping of paar mutations of herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 by intertypic marker rescue.mutations (paar) in herpes simplex virus (hsv) which confer resistance to phosphonoacetic acid involve genes associated with virus-induced dna polymerase activity. two mutants of hsv (hsv-1 tsh and hsv-2 ts6) produce a thermolabile dna polymerase activity. in this study, the ts lesions present in these mutants and those present in two independent phosphonoacetic acid-resistant mutants of hsv-1 and hsv-2 (paar-1 and paar-2) have been physically mapped by restriction endonuclease analysis of recom ...1979225553
preliminary studies of the mode of action of arildone, a novel antiviral agent.arildone (also known as win 38020), a novel aryl diketone, inhibited replication of herpes simplex virus type 2 in tissue culture by interfering with an event that occurs prior to 6 h postinfection. the inhibition could be partially reversed by washing. although the exact mechanism of action is unknown, neither viral deoxyribonucleic acid nor viral proteins were synthesized in the presence of arildone.1979224808
activities of 5,6-dihydro-5-azathymidine against herpes simplex virus infections in mice.5,6-dihydro-5-azathymidine (dhadt), a nucleoside antibiotic inhibitory for herpes simplex virus (hsv) in cell cultures (h. e. renis, antimicrob. agents chemother. 13: 613-617, 1978), was evaluated in mice with experimental hsv infections. dhadt protected mice infected with hsv type 1 (hsv-1) when the virus was inoculated intravenously and the drug was given by subcutaneous or oral routes. the activity observed was dependent on the dose and schedule of treatment. doses of 100 to 400 mg/kg given t ...1979426515
neoplastic transformation of cultured syrian hamster embryo cells by dna of herpes simplex virus type 2.syrian hamster embryo cells were transformed to a neoplastic phenotype after exposure to herpes simplex virus type 2 (s-1) dna at concentrations (less than or equal to 0.01 microgram per 60-mm dish) at which infectivity was no longer demonstrable. transformed cells manifested in vitro phenotypic properties characteristic of the neoplastic state, expressed herpes simplex virus-specific antigens, and induced invasive tumors in vivo. transfection and transformation of syrian hamster embryo cells wi ...1979225525

effect of pyran on latency after herpes simplex virus infections.the immunomodulator pyran protected mice against both herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and type 2 (hsv-2) infections. in infections of the lip with hsv-1, prophylactic administration of pyran reduced the severity of the herpetic lesions and enhanced their resolution, but did not decrease the high incidence of development of latent hsv-1 infection of the trigeminal ganglia. in vaginal infections with hsv-2, prophylactic administration of pyran either systemically or locally reduced mortality, ...1979464586
appearance of rosette-forming macrophages in the lungs of influenza virus-infected mice.approximately one fifth of the macrophages obtained from the lungs of mice infected 2 to 5 days with influenza a/hk virus were found to rosette well with either unmodified human, chicken, or guinea pig erythrocytes, but not with erythrocytes from hamsters, sheep, or mice. rosette-forming macrophages were seldom seen in suspensions from uninfected mice (3+/-3%) or mice infected 24 h previously (3+/-3%). rosette formation was not due to virus hemadsorption, as indicated by the failure of specific ...1979500196
differential and selective inhibition of cellular and herpes simplex virus dna synthesis by arabinofuranosyladenine.the influence of 9-beta-d-arabinofuranosyladenine (beta araado) and of its anomer 9-alpha-d-arabinofuranosyladenine (alpha araado) was studied in non-infected cells and cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and hsv type 2 (hsv-2). alpha araado is a strong inhibitor of proliferation of non-infected cells. multiplication of hsv-1 and hsv-2 is not affected at all by alpha araado, while their growth is strongly inhibited by beta araado. alpha araado exerts no effect on the incorpor ...1979227462
haemorrhage in neonatal hepatic necrosis due to herpes infection.a case of early neonatal severe bleeding and persistent hypoglycemia with a fatal outcome is reported. the autopsy examination revealed the features of neonatal hepatic necrosis. further study by the electron microscopy indicated the presence of herpes type particles in the nucleus and cytoplasm of the remaining liver cells. serological study of the maternal blood, post partum, revelaed positive reaction to herpes simplex virus type 2 at low titer. it is believed that intrauterine herpes infecti ...1979515805
herpes simplex type 2 encephalitis concurrent with known cerebral metastases.a 62-year-old woman developed neurologic deficits 7 months after pulmonary lobectomy for alveolar cell carcinoma of the lung. ct scan of the head demonstrated two metastases with marked peritumoral edema. administration of decadron, chemotherapy and 3,000 rad cranial radiation resulted in dramatic improvement of dysphasia and right hand paresis. almost 2 months later, rhythmic, involuntary movements of the left hand developed. there was progression to multifocal seizures, grand mal seizures, pos ...1979225922
production of tubular structures in vero cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 2; effects of ultraviolet light irradiation and antimetabolites.in order to investigate the nature of tubular structures specifically found in herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2)-infected cells, the multiplication of hsv-2 was studied in vero cells cultured in the presence of varying concentrations of cytosine arabinoside (ara-c) and cycloheximide (ch), inhibitors of dna synthesis and protein synthesis respectively. ara-c, at a concentration of 60 micrograms/ml, inhibited the multiplication of hsv-2 by more than 99% and also prevented the appearance of tubul ...1979228001
dnase induced after infection of kb cells by herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2. ii. characterization of an associated endonuclease activity.purified preparations of the "exonuclease" specified by herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and type 2 (hsv-2) possess an endonuclease activity. the exonuclease and endonuclease activities copurify and cosediment in a sucrose density gradient. endonuclease activity is only observed in the presence of a divalent cation, and mg(2+) or mn(2+) is equally effective as a cofactor with an optimal concentration of 2 mm. a slight amount of endonuclease activity is observed in the presence of ca(2+), wher ...1979228069
persistence of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 in infected individuals.during a 23-month period, 18 patients with facial or genital herpetic lesions were examined; culture specimens from each patient were obtained three times per week for virologic studies. the isolated viruses were identified, and the average duration of herpesvirus in lesions was determined. herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) was isolated from facial lesions for a mean duration of 3 1/2 days. in contrast, herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) was isolated from genital lesions for a mean duration o ...1979219784
characterization of human tk- cell lines transformed to a tk+ phenotype by herpes simplex virus type 2 dna.human tk- cells carrying the hsv-2 tk gene as a result of transformation with virus dna express a tk activity of virus origin and maintain the tk+ phenotype when grown in hat medium. under non-selective conditions, however, reversion to a tk- phenotype occurs with a significant frequency characteristic of each transformed line. once reversion has occurred the tk- phenotype appears to be stable, since only very rare instances of tk- to tk+ reversion have been observed. tk- revertants were suscept ...1979215706
herpes simplex virus isolation from pyoderma gangrenosum lesions in a patient with chronic lymphatic leukemia.herpes simplex virus type 2 was isolated and identified from the vesicular border of pyoderma gangrenosum lesions on the genital region of a patient with chronic lymphatic leukemia. dramatic relief of pain as well as quick disappearance of the vesicular margin of the lesions and of the inflammatory halo around them occurred as a result of local treatment with a solution of zinc acetate. a careful search for a viral agent should be done in every case of pyoderma gangrenosum occurring in a patient ...1979220109
thin-layer immunoassay for determination of antibodies to herpes simplex virus.thin-layer immunoassay (tia) is a simple serological technique suitable for analysis of large numbers of samples. in this study, tia was evaluated for determination of antibodies to herpes simplex virus. herpes simplex virus antigen used in tia was purified from material released from virus-infected cells. the results obtained by tia were compared with those obtained by neutralization and complement fixation tests. tia was found to be as sensitive as the neutralization test for demonstration of ...1979222798
evaluation of indirect hemagglutination and its inhibition in the differentiation between antibodies to herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 for seroepidemiologic studies: use of a ii/i index threshold of 85 and an assay of type-specific antibodies.two parameters, a ii/i index threshold value of 85 and an assay of type-specific antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and type 2 (hsv-2), were assessed, for seroepidemiologic purposes, for their efficacy in the establishment of past infections with hsv-1 and hsv-2 as indicated by the results of tests for indirect hemagglutination and its inhibition. neither criterion alone established past infection with either hsv-1 or hsv-2. however, by combination of the two parameters, antibodie ...1979220339
