Abstract:Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) and type 2 (HSV2) were differentiated on the basis of different plaque appearance on semicontinuous rabbit lens epithelial (RLE) cells. Plaques produced by HSV1 strains were small; the mean diameter was 1.29 ± 0.37 mm 3 days after inoculation. HSV2 strains produced large and small plaques, with the ratio of large to small about 20:1. The mean diameters of the large and the small plaques of HSV2 were 3.34 ± 0.56 mm and 0.97 ± 0.31 mm respectively 3 days after inoculation. The … Show more
