OBJECTIVE To observe the pathological changes and morphological alterations of ECV304 cells after the infection by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in vitro. METHODS Passaged ECV304 cells were infected with HSV-2, TCID50 and morphological changes were observed by optical microscopy and tissue staining. RESULTS One day after HSV-2 infection, swelling, rounding, and increase of thickened cytoplasmic granules occurred in the ECV304 cells, and on day 2, cell fusion was observed with weakened nuclear staining. CONCLUSIONS ECV304 cells mostly undergo necrosis after HSV-2 infection without obvious evidence of cell apoptosis.
