Abstract
Human paravertebral ganglia were examined for the presence of viral-specific RNA by in situ cytological hybridization using a nick-translated 3H-labeled herpes simplex virus-2 DNA probe. Ganglia from several locations (lumbar, thoracic, etc.) were obtained from seven patients at autopsy. In two cases HSV RNA was detected in all of the ganglia assayed. The autoradiographic grains were localized in the neurons (ganglions cells), and only a fraction of the neurons in any one ganglion were synthesizing viral-specific RNA. These results argue that the HSV genome can be active in the latent state.
