    Notes: Abstract Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 strain HFEM, the genome of which contains a deletion of about 4 kilobasepairs (kbp) between 0.7 and 0.8 viral map units, is apathogenic in the tree shrew when the animals are inoculated intravenously, intraperitoneally and/or subcutaneously. Similar results were obtained using Balb/c mice. Studies of the state of viral latency in animals infected with HSV-1 strain HFEM revealed that this strain was unable to colonize the ganglia of tree shrews. Infectious virus could be recovered only from the spleens of latently infected tree shrews. Thus, this system offers new opportunities for investigating the gene functions responsible for the virulence of HSV-1. Marker rescue experiments were performed by the contransfection technique using native DNA of HSV-1 strain HFEM and Bam H I DNA fragment B derived from the pathogenic HSV-1 strain F and cloned in a bacterial vector. A number of different intratypic recombinants were established in which the deleted region of HSV-1 strain HFEM had been repaired. The pathogenicity of these recombinants was examined in vivo. One of the recombinants (HSV-R-HFehx-C19) caused generalized and lethal herpes virus infection in juvenile and adult tupaias, indicating that the virulence of the pathogenic HSV-1 strain F can be transduced by the cloned Bam H I DNA fragment B to the apathogenic HSV-1 strain HFEM.

    Notes: Abstract The toxic effect of insect iridescent virus type 6 — chilo iridescent virus — (CIV) was investigated using Balb/c mice (strain ByJ Ico and Kisslegg). The animals were inoculated with CIV intraperitoneally (1×109 to 9.2×1011 TCID50/animal). The animals which were administered with 1×1011 to 9×1011 TCID50 of CIV per animal, developed acute clinical illness and died during 18 to 80 h post infection. Histopathological and electronmicroscopic examinations of the liver tissues of those animals which died and/or were sacrificed when moribund showed acute degenerative hepatitis leading to death. No evidence for viral replication was found in the liver cells affected. A mortality rate between 21.1% and 100% was recorded for CIV, depending on the strain and number of mice used and the dose of virus administered. The toxic effect of CIV was eliminated or reduced extensively using heat denaturation or treatment of CIV with sodium dodecylsulphate or proteinase K. This indicates that the nature of the factor causing toxic degenerative cell damage is a protein.

    Notes: Thirty-three liver transplant patients and 20 controls were examined for the presence of EBV in epithelium of the lateral border of the tongue by negative staining electron microscopy. Five of the specimens (15%) showed particles typical of the herpes virus family, while all controls were negative for EBV. In 3 of the 5 patients moderate oral hairy leukoplakia was observed clinically. Our results indicate that EBV may be expressed at the lateral border of the tongue of liver transplant patients, who in some cases show oral hairy leukoplakia clinically.

    Notes: Twelve biopsies of clinically normal oral mucosa taken from HIV seropositive patients have been investigated by means of light- and electron microscopy. Vascular abnormalities were found in all biopsies, regardless of the clinical stage of the HIV infection. In particular slit-like vascular channels, sparseness of intercellular junctions and swollen, protruded endothelial cells with an increased quantity of Weibel-Palade bodies were noticed. These findings were similar to those described in lesions of early stage Kaposi's sarcoma.

    Notes: Oral hyperpigmentation has been observed in six HIV-infected patients, in two of whom systemic medication (ketokonazole, clofazimine) was supposed to be etiologically involved. Histologically, pigment was found in epithelial basal cells and particularly in subepithelial connective tissue. Ultrastructurally, the presence of premature melanosomes in subepithelial keratinocytes was of interest. Stimulation of melanocytes during HIV infection may occur in association with immunopathologic changes in the oral mucosa.

    Notes: The ultrastructural localization of collagens type V and VI in normal human gingival mucosa was investigated by immunoelectron microscopy. Twenty biopsies were fixed in dimethylsuberimidate and shock-frozen in slush nitrogen. Collagen type V was mainly located to meshworks of uniform nonstriated microfibrils of 12 to 20 nm width, which preferentially appeared in larger spaces between cross-striated major collagen fibrils. Occasionally single microfibrils of collagen type V fanned out from the ends of major collagen fibrils, which may indicate a role as a core fibril. Collagen type V was not found in the subepithelial basement membrane and the immediately adjacent stroma. Collagen type VI was detected in a loose reticular network of unhanded microfilaments that were morphologically distinguishable by knoblike protrusions every 100–110 nm. These microfilaments were found in the vicinity, but not as an intrinsic component, of the subepithelial basement membrane. Single filaments of collagen type VI filaments appeared to form bridges between neighboring cross-striated major collagen fibrils, suggesting an interconnecting role for this collagen type. The method presented appears to be excellently suited to study the normal and pathological supramolecular organization of the oral extracellular matrix.

    Notes: Ten biopsies of oral Kaposi's sarcoma were examined histologically and ultrastructurally. Histologically, early and late tumor stages could be differentiated. On the Ultrastructural level, endothelial-like and spindle-shaped tumor cells were revealed. Tumor cells associated with vessel-like spaces showed partly interrupted basal membranes, Weibel-Palade bodies, desmosomes and tight-junctions, while spindle-shaped cells lacked these Ultrastructural features of endothelial cells. Within the cytoplasm of endothelial-like cells, aggregates of tubular structures were observed. Histological and Ultrastructural findings in oral Kaposi sarcoma are comparable to those of such other organs as skin and intestines. The Ultrastructural findings indicate an endothelial origin, at least of endothelial-like tumor cells.

    Notes: The performance of two different EM techniques applied for the detection of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) in oral hairy leukoplakia (HL) was assessed, i.e. the conventional two-step method of negative staining (CNS) and negative staining after Airfuge enrichment (ANS). Scrape specimens from the lateral borders of tongue of 66 HIV-positive patients with or without HL, of 3 patients with infectious mononucleosis and of 10 HIV-negative patients were evaluated. While CNS resulted in virus detection only in 25% of clinically diagnosed HL cases, EBV was detected by ANS in 85% of clinically suspected cases of HL. Scrape specimens of individuals negative for HIV were negative in EM while 2 of 3 mononucleosis patients were positive without clinical evidence for HL. Due to this high sensitivity the method of negative staining after Airfuge enrichment appears to be useful in the diagnosis of HL. The finding of EBV in clinically normal oral mucosa in HIV-seropositive individuals is interesting and indicates that EBV expression may precede the clinical appearance of HL.

    Notes: Summary By ultracentrifugation and red cell adsorption experiments it was proved, that hemagglutinating activity of adenovirus types 20, 25, and 28 against monkey blood cells is associated with the virus particles; while no soluble hemagglutinins were found for type 20 and 25, the soluble hemagglutinating activity of type 28 against rat blood cells was located in a dodecon. The length of the fibres, as observed on the virus surface or in pentons, was 115 to 120 Å for type 20, 25, and 28, coinciding with a reference virus (type 9–15) of subgroup II. These data support the previous suggestion, that adenovirus 20, 25, and 28 belong to subgroup II.
