322 GROSE, HARSON, AND BECK core is shown in Fig. 3. We recognize the observation by Booy et al.(1991) that packaged DNA may extend radially to the inner surface of the HSV capsid shell. Yet, for purposes of modeling, we needed to assign a specific size to the DNA nucleoid; the data do not imply any protein shell around the core (Schrag et al., 1989). The 3-D model of the aberrant VZV nucleocapsid is illustrated in Fig. 4. The prototypic model fits the definition of a C particle in the HSV literature (Gibson and Roizman, 1972), while the VZV particle with an aberrant core has no corresponding lettered form in the HSV literature. Even though we do not yet know whether the latter particle contains viral DNA, for uniformity we have called the particle a nucleocapsid within this text. A small number of VZV particles which contain no material in their core probably correspond to the A capsid in the HSV literature; these forms were not modeled.
