a preliminary study on the molecular identification of herpes simplex virus type 1 in iranian population
Authors
abstract
herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) is a member of the herpesviridae family that causes herpetic disease in human. during the last 25-30 years, many investigations have been conducted on pathogenesis and molecular biology of this virus in several countries. in iran hsv-1 has been isolated from patients and detected using immunological techniques. in this study, we investigated the molecular aspects of two iranian isolated viruses by pcr-rflp of hsv-1 dna polymerase gene. the result of southern blot hybridization indicated that the iranian isolates are hsv type 1. moreover, the restriction pattern of the iranian isolates is different from the kos strain for dpni enzyme. it is proposed to use this difference as a molecular marker of the iranian strain.

Background: Recent research on several DNA fragments covering open reading frames (ORF) 1-37 shows a new genetic marker in ORF 6 which is specific for differentiating wild-type varicella-zoster virus (VZV) strains from Oka varicella vaccine strain. On the other hand, herpes simplex virus (HSV) genome analysis by restriction enzymes is used to differentiate types one and two of the virus and eve...
full textEffects of Sodium Valproate on the Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1: An in Vitro Study
Background: Sodium valproate, an anticonvulsant drug, is reported to stimulate Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 and Human cytomegalovirus replication. Since epileptic patients undergoing sodium valproate therapy may suffer from various virus infections, the effect of this drug on replication of viruses especially those affecting neuronal tissues such as Herpes simplex virus type 1 is worthy ...

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) with a worldwide distribution has been reported in all human populations, resulting in a clinical spectrum of infections. Although HSV type 2 (HSV-2) is known as the most common cause of genital herpes, an increasing number of cases with genital herpes are caused by HSV-1. The present study aimed to discuss the changes in the epidemiology of HSV-1 infection i...
