Detection of Latent Herpes Simplex Virus DNA and RNA in Human Geniculate Ganglia by the Polymerase Chain Reaction
1 Jan 1992
Abstract excerpt
By using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) we detected latent herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in human geniculate and trigeminal ganglia obtained from autopsy cases. A pair of primers which were specific for a part of the HSV-1 thymidine kinase domain were used for detection of HSV DNA. We also examined the latency-associated transcript (LAT), known as latency-specific RNA, by means of reverse...
