## Abstract A simplified assay for the diagnosis of varicellazoster virus (VZV) infections based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is described. Omitting the procedures for extraction and purification of DNA, the crude vesicle fluid materials were used for PCR. Moreover, hybridization was not

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique has been utilized for the detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, and several factors related to the selection of primer pairs for the PCR amplification have been demonstrated. The sensitivity of the PCR assay was compared with that of slot-blot hybrid
## Abstract The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify a 149 baseโpair region of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) genome and a 551 baseโpair region of the HIVโ1 proviral long terminal repeat (LTR) present in DNA extracted from postโmorโtem tissue. Multiple tissues (n=116) obtained from 16 pat
## Abstract Interpretation of antibody to hepatitis C virus (HCV) in patients with liver disease is difficult due to falseโpositive reactivity in some conditions. To evaluate the feasibility of HCV in archival material, HCV was sought in formalinโfixed, paraffinโembedded liver biopsy specimens. Nes
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been implicated in a variety of central nervous system syndromes. In a few well-studied patients, EBV has been detected by viral isolation or EBV D N A has been found by Southern hybridization analysis. Using polymerase chain reaction, we evaluated brain biopsy specimen
