Comparison of four methods for typing low-passage herpes simplex virus isolates. 1985

D Mayo, and J Hilliard, and M Landry, and S Egbertson, and R Mirkovic

Clinical isolates of herpes simplex virus (HSV) were identified as HSV type 1 or type 2 by sensitivity to (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (BVDU), by differential replication in chick embryo cells versus guinea pig embryo cells, by restriction endonuclease analysis, and by a direct fluorescent antibody technique using monoclonal antibodies. More than 550 isolates were typed by two or three of the systems with complete agreements as to virus type between systems for each isolate. In appropriately equipped laboratories, any of the above typing systems can be used with complete confidence. However, the BVDU sensitivity assay, particularly when used in a continuous cell line as described, can be economically utilized in any virology laboratory.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D001973	Bromodeoxyuridine	A nucleoside that substitutes for thymidine in DNA and thus acts as an antimetabolite. It causes breaks in chromosomes and has been proposed as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. It has been given orphan drug status for use in the treatment of primary brain tumors.

D002460	Cell Line	Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely.	Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002642	Chick Embryo	The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching.	Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
D004279	DNA, Viral	Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses.	Viral DNA
D005455	Fluorescent Antibody Technique	Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
