title: Search for evidence of three viral agents in radicular (periapical) cysts with immunohistochemistry.
abstract: Sections from 20 paraffin-embedded radicular cysts and positive-control subjects were subjected to immunostaining procedures after treatment of the sections with polyclonal antibodies was performed to search for evidence of human papilloma virus and herpes viruses 1 and 2 in the lining epithelium. All 20 specimens examined were negative for the presence of all three viruses.
