Nonviral intranuclear filamentous inclusions.

C Shaw, S M Sumi

    Archives of Neurology
    |July 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Intranuclear filamentous structures observed in neurologic disease patients may not be viral. These curly, fibrillary strands are likely chromatin fibers, not infectious agents.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuropathology
    • Cell Biology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Intranuclear filamentous structures have been identified in nervous tissues.
    • These structures were observed in patients with various neurologic diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the morphology of intranuclear filamentous structures found in neurologic disease patients.
    • To determine the potential origin and nature of these structures.

    Main Methods:

    • Morphological analysis of intranuclear filamentous structures using electron microscopy.
    • Comparison of observed structures with known viral and cellular components.

    Main Results:

    • Filamentous structures measured 25-40nm in diameter, with granular appearance and solid cross-sections.
    • Structures resembled paramyxoviral filaments but were larger and distinct.
    • Evidence suggested sequential development from chromatin clumps.

    Conclusions:

    • The observed intranuclear filamentous structures are likely composed of chromatin fibers, not viral particles.
    • Findings necessitate cautious interpretation when encountering such structures in neurologic disease contexts.
