To determine the rate of maturation of MCV in vivo, we injected tritiated thymidine intradermally into 23 lesions of molluscum contagiosum and obtained biopsies at intervals from 1 hour to 8 days later. The tissues were processed for electron microscopic autoradiography, and the patterns of viral maturation were determined by the localization of silver grains over developing virions at different time intervals. The findings demonstrate that maturation of molluscum contagiosum (MCV) in vivo is asynchronous. Some virions mature rapidly, within 1 to 2.5 hours, but the majority mature more slowly; 94 percent are mature in 5 days. A comparative study revealed that maturation of virions in infected cells occurred more rapidly in the granular layer than in the malpighian layer. Uncoated virions in newly infected cells were seen in viable epidermal cells in all layers, including dividing basal cells. "Second-stage uncoating" together with "viral factory" formation were observed only in malpighian cells at the time intervals examined.
