    Abstract

    After the injection of Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 into the rat cervical vagus nerve, transneuronally labelled virus-containing neurons and glial cells were present in the medulla oblongata. Fos-containing nuclei were present in the same regions of the brain. A double-labelling procedure revealed that most of the virus-positive neurons also contained Fos-positive nuclei. Appearance of HSV1 antigen within the CNS is associated with Fos expression in neurons and glial cells.
