Rapid typing of herpes simplex virus strains using the indirect immunoperoxidase method.
نویسنده
چکیده
The indirect immunoperoxidase technique with type-specific antisera was compared to kinetic neutralization for the typing of herpes simplex virus strains. There was complete agreement between the results obtained by kinetic neutralization and indirect immunoperoxidase. The indirect immunoperoxidase assay was far simpler to perform and interpret than the kinetic neutralization tests, and it offered a rapid means for the routine antigenic typing of herpes simplex isolates.

Use of immunoperoxidase for rapid diagnosis of mucocutaneous herpes simplex virus infection.
The indirect immunoperoxidase method was applied to the rapid diagnosis of mucocutaneous herpes simplex virus infection. Specimens were obtained directly from lesions at various stages in their evolution. The immunoperoxidase method identified herpes simplex virus-infected cells in 91% of vesicular lesions which were positive by standard virological culture. At later stages, the number of cases...

Background: The diagnosis of herpes simplex virus may requirevirological confirmation. Tzanck smear is an old, rapid, costeffective but nonspecific method that has been recently re-evaluatedas a method for the diagnosis of herpes virus infection. This studywas conducted to compare Tzanck smear and viral culture in thediagnosis of herpes simplex virus infection in patients clinicallysuspected to...

متن کاملLoop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) for the Rapid Diagnosis of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1)
Background and Aims: considering difficulties in usual laboratory methods in detection of viral infections, improved DNA-based diagnostic techniques are more reliable. Loop mediated isothermal amplification method (LAMP) is a nucleic acid amplification method that amplifies DNA using six primers which has been developed to diagnose viruses as a rapid and high efficiency test. In this study, the...

The effect of immunoperoxidase staining and centrifugation on the sensitivity and rapidity of herpes simplex virus detection in mink lung cell cultures was determined with 730 clinical specimens. In standard tube cultures, the use of immunoperoxidase staining resulted in detection of 31 (91%) of 34 positive cultures after overnight incubation, compared with 25 (74%) detected without the stain (...
