## Abstract The incidence of varicella in Singapore has been increasing since 1984. In 1991,17,930 cases were reported in a population of about 3 million. A serological survey completed in 1990 demonstrated that only 43% of the cohort had antibodies to varicellaβzoster virus (VZV), indicating inade

Glycoproteins I and E of the Varicella-zoster virus, encoded by the neighbouring open reading frames 67 and 68, are transcribed into several transcript species that differ in size. From gI, three transcripts of 1.65, 2.7, and 3.6 kb are known, and from gE, two transcripts of 2.15 and 3.6 kb in size
In Japan and the United States, where vaccination against varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection with the live attenuated Oka strain of varicella is routine, cases of chickenpox or shingles occurring in vaccinees can be caused by either wildtype or vaccine virus. Differentiating such cases is import
Varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein E (gE) is the most abundant VZV glycoprotein on the surface of virus-infected cells. VZV gE has targeting sequences for the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and is transported from the ER to the TGN in infected and gE-transfected cells. In this study, VZV gE expressing m
