title: Herpes simplex virus type 1 replication in a gingival cell line.
abstract: Propagation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in gingival cells is advantageous since these cells are more definitive than HeLa cells in demonstrating viral-induced cytopathic effects and are easily and economically maintained in the laboratory. They also provide a potential medium for studying oral tissue reactions to HSV-1 infection. HSV-1-induced cytopathic effects are clearly characterized following inoculation with virus from standard laboratory cultures and human infections.
