C. Mainka et Mh. Wolff, DETECTION OF VARICELLA-ZOSTER VIRUS-DNA IN SINGLE TRIGEMINAL GANGLIA BY POLYMERASE CHAIN-REACTION, The New microbiologica, 20(4), 1997, pp. 351-354
Single human trigeminal ganglia were studied for DNA sequences of vari
cella tester virus immediate early gene 63 by PCR. Out of 24 trigemina
l ganglia five were tested positive for VZV DNA by standard PCR (21 %)
, in six more VZV DNA was detectable using nested PCR (46 %).
