Abstract
-
This experiment was performed to elucidate whether the cultured rabbit corneal cells were infected with HSV-1. The direct immunofluorescent method was used to detect herpes simplex antigen in HSV-1 infected corneal epithelial cell, keratocyte and endothelial cell in vitro with fluorescein-labeled antiserum to HSV-1. Immunofluorescent localization of HSV-1 antigen was seen in all three types of corneal cells.
