Comparison of Cultureset and Bartels Immunodiagnostics with conventional tissue culture for isolation and identification of herpes simplex virus.

چکیده
Two 48-h Vero cell systems were compared with viral culture in human fibroblastic cells for isolation and identification of herpes simplex virus from clinical specimens. Both 48-h systems had 79% sensitivity and greater than 99% specificity as compared with the conventional tissue culture method.

Retrospective evaluation of the isolation and identification of herpes simplex virus with Cultureset and human fibroblasts.
A total of 442 specimens from various anatomic sites was cultured for herpes simplex virus during the past 2 years. Most specimens were obtained from the respiratory tracts and cutaneous lesions of immunocompromised hosts (232 specimens) or the female genital tract (138 specimens). Two tubes containing human newborn foreskin fibroblasts and two Ortho Cultureset tubes containing Vero cells were ...
متن کاملApplication of McCoy Cell Line for Propagation of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1
Herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2) are members of the Herpesviridae family. About 40% to 80% of the world populations are infected with HSV and its prevalence is high in Iran. The high prevalence of this virus in the community and the ability of the virus in causing fatal diseases among immunocompromised patients, have encouraged studies to be performed on HSV and suitable cell ...

Background: The diagnosis of herpes simplex virus may requirevirological confirmation. Tzanck smear is an old, rapid, costeffective but nonspecific method that has been recently re-evaluatedas a method for the diagnosis of herpes virus infection. This studywas conducted to compare Tzanck smear and viral culture in thediagnosis of herpes simplex virus infection in patients clinicallysuspected to...
متن کاملA Review of the Classical and Molecular Diagnostic Methods of Herpes Simplex Virus
Human Herpes Viruses (HSV) contain eight pathogens. HSV is one of the most widespread viruses in the world and due to the simplicity of the way of transmission the number of people infected with the virus has increased in per year. The virus creates a wide range of diseases, including mucosal herpes infections and deadly herpes simplex encephalitis. Today, for the diagnosis of HSV infection se...
متن کاملConstruction of Various γ34.5 Deleted Fluorescent-Expressing Oncolytic herpes Simplex type 1 (oHSV) for Generation and Isolation of HSV-Based Vectors
Background: Oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV)-based vectors lacking γ34.5 gene, are considered as ideal templates to construct efficient vectors for (targeted) cancer gene therapy. Herein, we reported the construction of three single/dually-flourescence labeled and γ34.5-deleted, recombinant HSV-1 vectors for rapid generation and easy selection/isolation of different HSV-Based v...
