Prevalence of Varicella-Zoster Virus DNA in Dissociated Human Trigeminal Ganglion Neurons and Nonneuronal Cells
1 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
Previous analyses using in situ hybridization alone or together with PCR have yielded conflicting results regarding the cell type in which latent varicella-zoster virus (VZV) resides. We separated human trigeminal ganglia (TG) into neuronal and nonneuronal fractions, followed by primary and nested PCR to quantitate VZV DNA at the single cell level. Both TG from each of eight cadavers were dissociated and...
