On the Localization of the Milker's Node Virus in the Tissues (Zur Lokalisation des Melkerknoten-Virus im Gewebe)
Abstract
As far as the localization of the milker's node virus in tissue is concerned, the author reports for the first time on findings obtained by means of ultra-thin slices. Two cases of milker's nodes so far examined by the electron-optical method show the following distribution of viruses: In the corium no viruses can be traced, not even within the region of granulomatous changes. In the stratum basale spinosum, one finds viruses increasing in number towards the outer layers and which are most densely concentrated in the layer neighboring the stratum corneum. In the stratum corneum, viruses were traced as mere shadows. Annular viruses are located in the inner strata, while typically square-shaped (quadrangular) forms of viruses are prevailing in the outer layers of the stratum spinosum and in the stratum corneum. The morphological substrate explains the healing of the milker's nodes without leaving scars.
