To identify viral antigens, the types of infilt- rating mononuclear cells and cytokine bearing cells, the frozen brain tissue sections form a pa-tient with herpes simplex encephalitis who died on 12 th hospital days, were examined by immu-nocytochemical methods and combined immunocy-tochemistry and in situ hybridization.

The avidin-biotin peroxidase complx (ABC) tec-hniques were applied for the detection of antigens. All monoclonal antibodied to Leu series and polyc-lonal antisera to lymphotoxin (LT), interlukin-6 (IL-6) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were purchased form Becton Dickinson Co., and Genzyme Co., (USA) respectively.

A large number of neurons and glial cells stai-ning positively HSV-1 antigens were found in the gray matter (Fig. 1). Moreover, although a mo-derate number of HLA-DR (Ia) positive cells were found in the parenchyma, there were few cells dis-playing positively for Leu-3 a, Leu-2 a and Leu-7 respectively (Fig. 2). To evaluate the number of positive cells appeared in the brain tissues, Leu stain for 4, 2 a, 3 a, 7, 12 and HLA-DR demonst-rated 1. 6%, 0.4%, 0.9%, 0.7% and 10% respec-tively.

In addition, numerous number of IFN-T positive cells were detected arround the lesion and ran-domly distributed throughly the lesion (Fig. 3 a). IL-6 positive cells (Fig. 3 b) and LT positive cells (Fig. 3 c) were also similar in distribution to IFN-γ positive cells.

Moreover, in simultaneous detection of HLA-DR and HSV-1 mRNA by the combined immu-nocytochemistry and in situ hybridization, there were seen glial cells staining positively for HLA-DR (Ia) and several cells with mRNA (Fig. 4 a and b).

From the results, it may be considered that in a part of brain tissue at the early stage of herpes simplex encephalitis, these cytokine bearing cells play an important role at the early inflammatory process of host immune response prior to appea-rance of mononuclear cells.
