Abstract
The expression of laminin in the vestibular ganglia and nerves in herpes simplex virus I (HSV-I) infectious chick embryos was examined by immuno-histochemistry. In 9-day-old normal chick embryos, the surface of the vestibular ganglion cells and the vestibular nerves were labelled with laminin, while, in HSV-I infectious chick embryos, the staining of laminin in the vestibular ganglia and nerves was very weak. These results suggest that HSV-I injures vestibular ganglia and nerves, and that laminin is a good marker of the degeneration and innervation of developing vestibular nerves.
