BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study investigates the survival of HSV in infected mouse corneas, in the conditions of normal human eye bank preservation.
Hundred seventy-two BALB/C mice infected with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) (KOS) were randomly assigned to either: no preservation in group 1 (n = 62), 31 degrees C preservation for 3 weeks in group 2 (n = 70) or 4 degrees C preservation for 8 days in group 3 (n = 40). The presence of HSV-1 was thereafter detected by viral culture and PCR.
In groups 1, 2 and 3, HSV-1 was detected by culture in 22 (35.5%), 1 (1.4%) and 0 (0.0%) of the corneas, and by PCR in 27 (43.7%), 3 (4.2%) and 7 (17.5%) of the corneas respectively. When compared to group 1, HSV was detected significantly less often in groups 2 (p < 0.0001) and 3 (p < 0.0001).
HSV-1 DNA undergoes a degradation during corneal preservation.
背景/目的:本研究在人眼库正常保存条件下,调查单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)在感染小鼠角膜中的存活情况。
172只感染1型单纯疱疹病毒(HSV-1)(KOS株)的BALB/C小鼠被随机分为三组:第1组不进行保存(n = 62),第2组在31℃保存3周(n = 70),第3组在4℃保存8天(n = 40)。之后通过病毒培养和聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测HSV-1的存在情况。
在第1、2和3组中,通过病毒培养分别在22只(35.5%)、1只(1.4%)和0只(0.0%)角膜中检测到HSV-1,通过PCR分别在27只(43.7%)、3只(4.2%)和7只(17.5%)角膜中检测到HSV-1。与第1组相比,第2组(p < 0.0001)和第3组(p < 0.0001)检测到HSV的频率显著降低。
HSV-1 DNA在角膜保存过程中会发生降解。
