Breakthrough after varicella vaccination occurs in approximately 2.6%βΌ18.6% of immunocompetent children, but the reason has not been demonstrated clearly. As a first defense, specific secretory IgA antibody on the mucosa plays an important role in preventing invasion of microorganisms. To examine in

Antibody responses to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) deoxythymidine kinase (dTK) and herpes simplex virus (HSV) dTK in homologous and heterologous infections were studied. Antibodies blocking the enzymatic activity of VZV-dTK appeared late after varicella and decreased more or less in parallel with th
Acute and convalescent zoster sera taken from 11 patients with varicella and 12 patients with zoster were assayed using immunoblotting for the presence of IgG- and IgM-class antibodies to proteins present in varicella-zoster virus-infected cells. All patients exhibited a detectable virus-specific re
## Abstract The general use of the varicella vaccine requires the surveillance of varicellaβzoster virus (VZV) strains in patients infected with VZV. This paper reports the data achieved from a prospective study of genotyping VZV in Germany, analyzing the restriction fragment length polymorphism (R
## Abstract To elucidate the mechanism of heterologous antibody responses to herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicellaβzostcr virus (VZV) which occur in some patients with HSV or VZV infections, stronger evidence was sought for the existence of crossβreacting antibodies to these viruses, using antib
