RESUMO
After corneal inoculation, herpes simplex virus type 1 replicates in the mouse eye, trigeminal ganglia, and brainstem, producing first an acute and then a latent infection. Previous work from this laboratory focused on the structure of the viral DNA in this system. We have now examined the structure of the viral genome at the chromosome level by using micrococcal nuclease digestion. Studies with disaggregated cell preparations made from the brainstems of acutely infected mice show that the majority of the viral DNA is in a nonnucleosomal form; however, a nucleosomelike fraction was also consistently detected. A similar result was obtained for viral DNA in herpes simplex virus type 1-infected C1300 (clone NA) neuroblastoma cells (a neuronal cell line).
