Our study failed to show an association between polymorphisms in inflammatory genes and early onset of lone AF. It remains to be established whether polymorphisms in inflammatory genes play a causative role in the pathophysiology of AF.

SUMMARYHerpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection of human fibroblast cells grown in culture induces reorganization of the cytoskeleton fibrillar structures. Normal transport and insertion of HSV glycoproteins into the plasma membrane of the cells depend on the integrity of the microtubules. The natural host cells for HSV are epithelial cells, and an epithelial cell line established from rat palate was used in the present study. The effect of virus on the structure of the intermediate filaments and especially on the keratin proteins was studied. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of total cell extracts identified in uninfected cells two major acidic keratin proteins with apparent molecular weights of 44000 (44K)

Twenty‐seven uterine cervical biopsies with histological diagnoses ranging from normal through dysplasia to invasive carcinoma were analysed for cytokeratin pattern in two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis. No direct correlation between histological diagnosis and cytokeratin pattern was observed.
