Abstract
The variation of lactate dehydrogenase, peroxidase, acid and alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes was studied in VERO cells inoculated with infectant and UV-inactivated herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV--1). Infectant HSV--1 induced quantitative and qualitative modifications in isoenzyme patterns within the first 4 hours post inoculation (p.i.). The modifications caused by the UV-inactivated HSV--1 were similar, but appeared 8 hours p.i. The possibility of using isoenzyme modifications as rapid, sensitive and specific biochemical tests for virus detection and differentiation between infectant and inactivated virus is discussed.
