Reactivated and latent varicella-zoster virus in human dorsal root ganglia.
Ganglia obtained at autopsy were examined by in situ hybridization from one patient with zoster (also called herpes zoster or shingles), two varicella-zoster virus (VZV)-seropositive patients with clinical evidence of zoster, one VZV-seronegative child, and one fetus. Ganglia positive for VZV had a hybridization signal in both neuronal and nonneuronal satellite cells. Ganglia obtained from the ...
متن کاملOntogeny of calretinin expression in rat dorsal root ganglia.
The relationship between the expression of calretinin and the maturation level of peripheral sensory neurons was investigated by means of immunohistochemistry and immunoblot analysis. Our immunohistochemical results show that calretinin is expressed during two different developmental phases in rat dorsal root ganglia. The early phase lasts between embryonic days 11 and 14, when calretinin is de...
متن کاملPeroxisomes in dorsal root ganglia.
Bodies with the morphologic and cytochemical characteristics of peroxisomes have been identified in the satellite and Schwann cells of rat dorsal root ganglia. They are membrane-delimited, round or oval structures which contain a moderately electron-dense matrix but lack a crystalline core. On incubation of the tissue in a cytochemical medium for demonstration of peroxisomes, these bodies show ...
متن کاملChemically mediated cross-excitation in rat dorsal root ganglia.
Primary afferent neurons in mammalian dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) are anatomically isolated from one another and are not synaptically interconnected. As such, they are classically thought to function as independent sensory communication elements. However, it has recently been shown that most DRG neurons are transiently depolarized when axons of neighboring neurons of the same ganglion are stimul...
متن کاملSimian varicella virus DNA in dorsal root ganglia.
Clinical, pathological, immunological, and virological evidence suggests that simian varicella virus (SVV) infection of primates is the counterpart of varicella-zoster virus infection of humans. To determine whether these two viruses share similarities in their properties during latency, we analyzed ganglia and brain of an African green monkey experimentally infected with SVV for the presence o...
