Spontaneous abortion 2007-11-06 .txt text/plain 6147 328 43 Herpes simplex virus (HSV, probably type 2) antigen was detected in nonpregnant and pregnant endometria, placentae, umbilical cords, and neonatal tissues (companion paper) by avidinbiotin complex immunohistochemical studies. Spontaneous and therapeutic abortion material, endometrial curettage tissue, full-term placentae and umbilical cords, and stillborn and liveborn neonatal tissues were studied by HSV-specific immunohistochemical methods to evaluate the prevalence and distribution of these HSV antigens in cases in which HSV infection was not suspected or detectable as HSV cytologic abnormalities by light microscopy, virus particles by transmission electron microscopy, or infectious HSV by direct cultnre. T h e following findings strongly support our hypothesis that the staining detected in the target and patient tissues with the Dako rabbit anti-HSV 2 IgG (lot 1188, our screening antibody) is specific for HSV and, probably, for type 2 infection in t h e products of conception, placentae, umbilical cords, and endometrial curettage specimens: ./cache/cord-008499-tl3i7uzd.txt ./txt/cord-008499-tl3i7uzd.txt
