Young adult male strain 2 guinea pigs were inoculated intramuscularly with varicellazoster virus (VZV) cultured in fetal guinea pig tissue cultures. Lymphocyte proliferation and interleukin 2 secretion in response to viral antigen challenge in vitro were measured at weekly intervals for 2 months and

Varicella zoster virus (VZV) has been demonstrated to infect guinea pig enteric neurons in vitro. Latent infection of isolated enteric neurons is established when the cultures predominantly consist of neurons and they are exposed to cell-free VZV. Neurons harboring latent infection survive for weeks
Herpesvirus-infected cells usually express receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G. Varicella-zoster virus has so far been the sole exception in the family. Both immunehemadsorption and immunofluorescence techniques failed to detect the expression of such receptors. This observation exclude
Varicella zoster-virus (VZV) is a humanpathogenic alpha-Herpesvirus that causes chickenpox after primary infection. The virus spreads by aerosol or direct contact with infectious vesical fluids, it enters the body via the respiratory tract. In a first viremic stage it replicates in local lymph nodes
