Practical aspects on identification, cultivation and characteristics of varicella-zoster virus isolates
Until now, it has been considered that infectivity of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is closely related to target cell, and newly formed virus is not released into the culture medium. It is also known that it is hard to grow VZV in cell cultures, due to its slow replication rate and a limited rang...

Until now, it has been considered that infectivity of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is closely related to target cell, and newly formed virus is not released into the culture medium. It is also known that it is hard to grow VZV in cell cultures, due to its slow replication rate and a limited range of sensitive cell cultures. In addition, VZV isolation depends on type of cell culture used, nature of clinical material, presence of viable virus and transport time. Objectives. To study production of infectious extracellular VZV in various cell cultures. Materials and methods.
