The availability of cloned varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA probes allows rapid detection of viral-specific DNA by "dot-blot" hybridization in lymphocytes or in lesion aspirates. Thirty-six blood specimens were obtained from 25 patients with suspected varicella or zoster. VZV-specific DNA was demons

A total of 46% (32/70) of children with acute Iymphoblastic leukaemia presenting to the Hospital for Sick Children had a past history of chickenpox. When their immunity to varicella zoster virus (VZV)was assessed, 75% (24/32)had a positive lymphocyte transformation response to VZV antigen in tissue
African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) were immunized with three intramuscular injections of gpI, gpII, or gpIII glycoprotein antigens of varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Antibody responses to VZV were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to simian varicella virus (SVV) b
Serological responses to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) subunit antigens, such as capsid, envelope, and soluble (S) antigens, in patients with VZV and herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections were studied by comparing with responses to virion (V) antigens using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA
