Tissue sections from four normal human thoracic ganglia were hybridized in situ with a varicella-zoster virus-RNA probe. Varicella-zoster virus was detected in two of four ganglia, localized exclusively in neurons. The detection of latent varicella-zoster virus genetic material in thoracic ganglia provides further evidence of varicella-zoster virus latency at multiple levels of the human neuraxis and supports the notion that the neuron is the primary site of herpesvirus latency.
取自四名正常人类胸神经节的组织切片与水痘-带状疱疹病毒RNA探针进行原位杂交。在四个神经节中的两个检测到水痘-带状疱疹病毒,且仅定位于神经元中。在胸神经节中检测到潜伏性水痘-带状疱疹病毒遗传物质,为水痘-带状疱疹病毒在人类神经轴多个水平的潜伏提供了进一步证据,并支持神经元是疱疹病毒潜伏的主要部位这一观点。
