Factors affecting recovery of latent herpes simplex virus from human trigeminal ganglia
Abstract:
The rate of recovery of herpes simplex virus (HSV) from human trigeminal ganglia explant monolayers is affected by two factors: (1) time elapsed from the death of an individual to the establishment of in vitro culture of ganglia and (2) surface area onto which ganglia are explanted. Spontaneous reactivation of HSV from human trigeminal ganglia can be maximized when ganglia are obtained within 12 h of death and explanted into surface area of 250 cm2. Viruses isolated by explantation of human trigeminal ganglia were found to be uniformly HSV type 1 by restriction enzyme analysis.
