Detection of herpes simplex virus by 8 h in shell vial cultures with primary rabbit kidney cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shell vial (SV) cultures for herpes simplex virus using primary rabbit kidney cells stained at 8 h after inoculation were compared with 20-h SV cultures as well as conventional tissue culture. Of the 326 clinical specimens examined, conventional culture detected 67, and of these, 61 (91%) and 42 (63%) were detected by 20-h SV cultures and 8-h SV cultures, respectively.

Comparison of the sensitivity of a 24 h-shell vial assay, and conventional tube culture, in the isolation of Herpes simplex virus – 1 from corneal scrapings
BACKGROUND: Herpes simplex keratitis is a sight threatening ocular infection. A rapid and specific diagnosis is essential for the institution of specific antiviral therapy and to avoid complications that can arise from misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Though a variety of techniques are available, isolation of Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) in culture provides the most reliable and spec...
متن کاملDetection of herpes simplex virus in conventional tube cell cultures and in shell vials with a DNA probe kit and monoclonal antibodies.
Specimens submitted for diagnosis of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection were inoculated into shell vials and reacted with a commercial DNA probe kit (Pathogene; Enzo Biochem, Inc., New York, N.Y.) and an immunofluorescence assay at 16 h postinoculation. The results were compared with isolation of the virus in conventional tube cell cultures. Of 504 specimens, 105 (20.8%) were positive for HSV...
متن کاملSimultaneous culture for adenovirus, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus in same shell vial by using three-color fluorescence.
A simultaneous triple culture for adenovirus, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus, using three different fluorochromes for virus detection and differentiation in the same shell vial, was developed. In evaluations the triple culture performed comparably to separate cultures, required less specimen volume, and was less expensive to perform.
متن کاملPCR detection of thymidine kinase gen of latent herpes simplex Virus type 1 in mice trigeminal ganglia
Herpes simplex virus type 1 establishes a latent infection in the peripheral nervous system following primary infection. During latent infection, virus genome exhibit limited transcription, with the HSV LATs consistently detected in latency infected ganaglia. Following ocular infection viral latency develops in the trigeminal ganglia. In this study PCR has been used for detection of HSV-1 nuc...
متن کاملIncreased detection of herpes simplex virus in MRC-5 cells treated with dimethyl sulfoxide and dexamethasone.
Treatment of MRC-5 cells with dexamethasone, dimethyl sulfoxide, or a combination of the two enhanced the detection of herpes simplex virus by three- to fourfold in these cells. Fluorescent plaques were noticeably larger on cover slips treated with the enhancing agents. Low-positive clinical specimens were stored and tested in parallel in treated and untreated shell vials, and 6 to 40% of these...
