RESUMO
The complex virological, biochemical and morphological study permitted to obtain various characteristics of mice herpes encephalitis. The reaction of astrocyte glia at different stages of herpes encephalitis was revealed and analyzed in detail. New data on the dynamics of desoxyribonuclease activity changes in neuroglia and the glial complex formation were obtained. It was shown that the increased DNA-ase activity in neuroglia and the astrocyte activation which morphological manifestation was the formation of glial complexes, may be referred to as processes dealing with barrier and elimination neuroglia functions in herpes encephalitis. The results presented allows to suppose that the severity of the development and outcome of herpes encephalitis mainly depends on the astrocyte glia condition, its potential abilities in appearing of barrier and eliminative functions.
