Classification of Mouse Thymic Virus as a Herpesvirus

PMCID: PMC422674  PMID: 16558074

Abstract

Classical herpesvirus particles were observed by thin-section electron microscopy in thymus tissues from mice inoculated with mouse thymic virus. Intranuclear particles measured approximately 100 nm in diameter, and cytoplasmic and extracellular particles measured 135 nm in diameter. The morphology of mouse thymic virus particles together with its properties of heat and ether lability suggest that thymic virus should be classified as a member of the herpesvirus group.
