Abstract
THE nuclear inclusions of herpes infections have been shown, cytochemically, to contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)1, and it is further known that this material is synthesized in excess by cells soon after the herpes virus enters them2. However, no connexion has been established between the DNA and constituents of the agent, the nucleic acid type of which has not, as yet, been elucidated.
