## Abstract Herpes simplex virus type‐1 latency and CD8+ T‐cell occurrence were investigated in the trigeminal, geniculate, and vestibular ganglia from seven deceased humans. The HSV‐1 “latency‐associated transcript” was assessed by in situ hybridization and quantitative RT‐PCR. Infiltration of CD8
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA was extracted from human trigeminal ganglia of 121 cadavers aged between 3 months and 94 years, and its PCR amplification was performed for the RL2 HSV-1 sequence using two pairs of primers. The HSV-1 DNA was detected in 74 of 121 patients (61%); 70/74 bilater
## Abstract Investigation of varicella‐zoster virus (VZV) is important epidemiologically, and determination of its prevalence rate in human trigeminal ganglia is important to provide surveillance data. To date, studies on VZV detection in trigeminal ganglia have used specimens obtained from a relat
