| cellular transformation in vitro induced by herpes simplex virus (hsv). note iii. oncogenicity of some hsv-2-transformed cell lines. | at high in vitro passage levels hsv-2-transformed hamster and rat cell lines were oncogenic for the homologous animals, inducing fusocellular or round-cell sarcomas. the cell lines obtained by in vitro cultivation of the tumors were free of infectious virus. | 1976 | 181902 |
| adenine arabinoside (ara-a) blocked hsv-2 infected human skin fibroblasts as targets for the detection of serum mediated and cellular cytotoxicity in patients with cervical carcinoma. | human skin fibroblasts remained viable after infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) if grown after infection in the presence of adenine arabinoside (ara-a); the cells were specifically killed by normal human lymphoid cells in the presence of hsv-2 convalescent or rabbit immune serum, and this cytotoxicity could be blocked by a crude hsv-2 antigen preparation. antibodies capable of mediating such cytotoxicity against hsv-2 induced cell surface antigens could be detected in four out of ... | 1976 | 182421 |
| ecto-ganglioside-sialidase activity of herpes simplex virus-transformed hamster embryo fibroblasts. | cellular location of ganglioside-sialidase activity was determined in confluent hamster embryo fibroblasts transformed with herpes simplex virus type 2. approximately equal specific activities of ganglioside-sialidase activity were found to be associated with the crude lysosomal and crude plasma membrane fractions isolated from whole cell homogenates. whole transformed cells hydrolyzed exogenous ganglioside substrate, suggesting a partial location of the cellular sialidase on the outer surface o ... | 1976 | 182699 |
| persistent herpes simplex virus infections established in two burkitt lymphoma derived cell lines. | examination of p3hr-i cells (epstein-barr virus [ebv] producer) persistently infected with the mal strain of herpes simplex virus type i (hsv-i) suggested that only a few cells were actively producing a virus indistinguishable from hsv-i (mal) despite the presence of immunofluorescent hsv-i antigens associated with the majority of cells. ebv-specific immunofluorescence was not altered in hsv-i persistently infected p3hr-i cells. hsv-i persistently infected cells, labelled for 72 h with 14c-thymi ... | 1976 | 182914 |
| dna-binding proteins induced by herpes simplex virus type 2 in hep-2 cells. | affinity chromatography on single-stranded and double-stranded dna-cellulose indicates that 12 proteins previously identified from herpes simplex virus type 2-infected cells, ranging in molecular weight from 28 x 10(3) to 186 x 10(3), bind to dna-cellulose. the dna-binding proteins found in infected cells differed in relative binding strengths for denatured dna-cellulose. the virus specificity of these dna-binding proteins was further studied by comparison with dna-binding proteins isolated from ... | 1976 | 183021 |
| pathogenesis of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 in mice after various routes of inoculation. | the pathogenesis of herpes simplex virus (hsv) types 1 and 2 was compared after inoculation of mice by different routes. intravaginal inoculation of hsv-1 and hsv-2 produced a local infection, with virus recovery from the vagina through 5 days. virus was recovered from the spinal cords 4 to 5 days after inoculation but not from liver, kidney, lung, spleen, or blood. intravenous or intraperitoneal inoculation of hsv-2 produced a focal necrotic hepatitis similar to that described previously (s. c. ... | 1976 | 184048 |
| characterization of single-cell clonal lines derived from hsv-2-transformed mouse cells. | a balb/c continuous cell line, 238, was transformed following infection with uv-inactivated herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) was designated h238. several cell lines were derived from single cells of h238 by cloning in soft agar. the clonal lines express cytoplasmic antigens by immunofluorescence when reacted with rabbit hsv-2 antiserum and mouse tumor-bearer serum. the cloned cell lines induce tumors in immunocompetent mice by the subcutaneous route with a 100% incidence at an inoculum of 10( ... | 1975 | 184064 |
| induction of murine p30 by superinfecting herpesviruses. | the interaction of endogenous type c viruses with superinfecting herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) was investigated in two murine cell lines. replication of hsv-2 was suboptimal in random-bred swiss/3t3a cells and, in initial experiments, infection with a low virus-to-cell ratio resulted in carrier cultures with enhanced murine leukemia virus (mulv) p30 expression. immunofluorescence tests with swiss/3t3a cells productively infected with hsv-2 also showed hsv-associated cytoplasmic antigens an ... | 1976 | 184296 |
| differential sensitivity of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 to human interferon: antiviral effects of interferon plus 9-beta-d-arabinofuranosyladenine. | with use of a standard assay for antiviral compounds, in which the compound to be tested is added after absorption of virus, the minimal inhibitory concentration (mic) of human interferon for several strain of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) is five to 10 times greater than it is for two strains of herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1). this differential susceptibility of hsv types to interferon is found whether tests are done with a liquid overlay and microtiter plates or with agarose overlay ... | 1976 | 185303 |
| comparative diagnostic aspects of herpes simplex virus tumor-associated antigens. | sera from cancer patients and healthy individuals, obtained from two independent sources, were examined for their abilities to react with herpes simplex virus-associated tumor antigens, ag-4 and nva-taa (nonvirion antigen-tumor-associated antigen). both antigens were prepared by infection of hep-2 cells with herpes simplex virus type 2, and all antigen-antibody interactions were measured by the micro-complement fixation test. of sera from 16 patients with cancer of the uterine cervix, 81% (p les ... | 1976 | 185398 |
| consequences of herpes simplex virus type 2 and human cell interaction at supraoptimal temperatures. | the consequences of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) and human embryonic fibroblast cell interaction at different temperatures (37, 40, and 42 degrees c) were investigated. incubation at 37 or 40 degrees c was permissive for hsv-2 inhibition of host dna synthesis, induction of virus-specific dna replication, and infectious virus production. the amount of [methyl-3h]thymidine incorporated into viral dna and the final yield of new infectious virus were significantly reduced at 40 degrees c comp ... | 1976 | 185418 |
| herpes simplex virus gene expression in transformed cells. i. regulation of the viral thymidine kinase gene in transformed l cells by products of superinfecting virus. | in this paper we show that the expression of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) gene for thymidine kinase (tk) in hsv-transformed cells is subject to regulation by two viral products synthesized during productive infection of these cells with a tk- mutant of hsv-1. the cell line used in this study is a derivative of tk-deficient mouse l cells that, after exposure to uv-inactivated hsv-1, had acquired the hsv-1 gene for tk (which we term a resident viral gene) and consequently expressed the ... | 1976 | 185425 |
| enzymatic basis for the selective inhibition of varicella-zoster virus by 5-halogenated analogues of deoxycytidine. | 5-bromodeoxycytidine (brdc) and 5-iododeoxycytidine, at a concentration of 100 mug/ml, effectively inhibit the replication of varicella-zoster (vz) virus in tissue culture. no toxicity could be demonstrated in uninfected cells under the same conditions. studies on the enzymatic basis for this selective inhibition were undertaken. infection of human embryonic lung cell monolayers with vz virus-infected cells results in the induction of thymidine (dt), deoxycytidine (dc), and brdc kinase activitie ... | 1976 | 185427 |
| oculogenital transmission of type 2 herpes simplex virus in adults. | type 2 (genital) herpes simplex virus (hsv-2) was isolated from three patients (two adults and an 11-year-old girl) with acute ocular infections. two of these patients had acute blepharoconjunctivitis and one had acute keratoconjunctivitis. genital herpes infections had preceded the eye infections in the two adults. this was not the case in the 11-year-old, but she had been in close contact with her sister who had apparently had the genital disease. the study strongly suggests transmission of hs ... | 1976 | 185732 |
| type 1 and type 2 herpes simplex virus in corneal cell cultures. | the pathogenicity of herpes simplex virus (hsv) in primary cultures of epithelia, stromal, and endothelial cells of rabbit corneas was studied at various incubation temperatures (30 degrees, 36 degrees, and 40 degrees c). we tested three strains each of type 1 (hsv-1) and type 2 (hsv-2). at all three temperatures, the epithelial cells appeared to be more susceptible to both hsv-1 and hsv-2 than the stromal and endothelial cells. in general, less hsv-1 was requered than hsv-2 to infect the same t ... | 1976 | 185735 |

| plaque dissociation of herpes simplex viruses: biochemical and biological characters of the viral variants. | polycaryocytogenic (p) and non-polycaryocytogenic, or aggregating (a), stable variants were selected from a herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and from a herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv 2) which had not been deliberately exposed to known mutagenic agents. the p variant of hsv-1 (fp) differed from the a variant (fa) in polypeptides and glycoprotein patterns, but no gross differences were evident between the two variants of hsv-2 (gp and ga). each p variant proved more 'specific' than each a var ... | 1975 | 186433 |
| replication of herpes simplex virus in mouse spleen cell cultures stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. | replication of hsv was demonstrated in spleen cell cultures of d2 and several other strains of mice after prestimulation with mitogenic doses of lps for 2 days. no viral replication occurred in unstimulated cultures or in cultures prestimulated with pha and con a, whereas there was some viral replication in spleen cell cultures of d2 mice after prestimulation with poly i-c. spleen cells of b6 mice did not support replication of hsv under any of the conditions we have tested thus far. the reasons ... | 1976 | 186534 |
| studies on kinetics of dna synthesis in cv-1 cell cultures infected with different multiplicities (moi) of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2). | infection of cv-1 cell cultures with hsv-2 at moi 5 respectively 1pfu/cell resulted in markedly different patterns of dna-synthesis. isolation and separation of cellular and viral dna on cscl equilibrium density gradients during the "late" phase after infection with 5pfu/cell revealed a rapid increase in synthesis of virus-specific dna (which banded at density q25 = 1.729 g/ccm) while synthesis of host cell dna (banding at 1.705 g/ccm) was constantly inhibited. 15 hours after infection and incub ... | 1976 | 186742 |
| comparison of dna facilitators in the uptake and intracellular fate of infectious herpes simplex virus type 2 dna. | the comparative efficiencies of polyornithine, cacl2 and deae-dextran in enhancing the infectivity of exogenous herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 2 dna were examined. cacl2 was 12-times more effective in promoting genetic expression of viral dna than deae-dextran, while polyornithine did not mediate any hsv dna infectivity. a comparison of sedimentation profiles of dna extracted from cells inoculated with viral dna in the presence of each facilitator revealed that input 56 s hsv dna underwent mark ... | 1976 | 187236 |
| herpesviruses and cancer in man and subhuman primates. | because there is strong evidence for the involvement of epstein-barr virus in the etiology of burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, we have discussed the relationship of epstein-barr virus to these two diseases in the context of geographic distribution, pathology, epidemiology, genetics, immunovirology, and biochemistry. we have also discussed the relationship of epstein-barr virus to other diseases, both malignant and non-malignant. although the etiologic relationship of herpes simpl ... | 1976 | 187259 |
| reaction of antigens isolated from herpes simplex virus-transformed cells with sera of squamous cell carcinoma patients. | antigens isolated from herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes simplex virus type 2, or cytomegalovirus-transformed hamster cells were tested against 66 sera from non-cancer individuals or patients with different types of cancer. by use of the microcomplement fixation procedure to quantify all antigen-antibody interactions, it was observed that 94% (p less than 0.001) of all sera from patients with squamous cell carcinoma reacted with antigens from herpes simplex virus type 1-transformed cells, whil ... | 1976 | 187320 |

| antiviral activity of arabinosylthymine in herpesviral replication: mechanism of action in vivo and in vitro. | 1-beta-d-arabinofuranosylthymine (ara-t), a metabolite of the sponge tethya crypta, has shown selective activity against herpes simplex virus (hsv) replication (g. a. gentry and j. f. aswell, virology 65:294-296, 1975). analysis of hsv-infected and uninfected cell lysates by cscl isopycnic centrifugation showed that ara-t blocked the incorporation of [(3)h]hypoxanthine into viral deoxyribonucleic acid and, to a large extent, into host deoxyribonucleic acid of infected (but not uninfected) cells. ... | 1977 | 197886 |
| anatomy of herpes simplex virus dna. ix. apparent exclusion of some parental dna arrangements in the generation of intertypic (hsv-1 x hsv-2) recombinants. | we are reporting the physical location of parental dna sequences in 28 recombinants produced by crossing herpes simplex viruses (hsv) 1 and 2. the parental crosses were of two kinds. in the first, temperature-sensitive mutants of hsv-1 and hsv-2 were crossed to produce wild-type recombinants. in the second, temperature-sensitive mutants of hsv-1 rendered resistant to phosphonoacetic acid were crossed with wild-type hsv-2, and recombinants that multiplied at nonpermissive temperature and were res ... | 1977 | 198577 |
| prolongation of herpes simplex virus latency in cultured human cells by temperature elevation. | treatment of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2)-infected human fibroblast cells with cytosine arabinoside (ara-c) at 25 microgram/ml resulted in complete inhibition of virus replication. removal of ara-c after 7 days of treatment ultimately resulted in renewed virus replication, but after a delay of at least 5 days. if however, the temperature was elevated from 37 degrees c to 39.5 to 40 degrees c at the time of ara-c reversal, infectious hsv-2 did not reappear. as long as the cultures were mai ... | 1977 | 198583 |
| specifically immune mouse t-cells can destroy h-2 compatible murine target cells infected with herpes simplex virus types 1 or 2. | lymphocytes from the spleen (sl) or peritoneal cavities (pl) of hsv-1- or hsv-2-immunized c 3 h mice expressed pronounced cytotoxicity, as measured by 51cr release assay, against l cells experimentally infected with hsf-types 1 or 2 but not against uninfected l cells. hsv-1 or hsv-2 immune lymphocytes induced substantially more 51cr release when l-cell targets were infected with homotypic virus compared to those infected with heterotypic virus. inasmuch as the cytotoxicity of specifically immune ... | 1977 | 198986 |
| complement-dependent cytotoxic antibodies in the course of cervical carcinoma. | complement-dependent cytotoxic antibodies to three cervical carcinoma cell lines (me-180, sw-732 and hela) and to herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2)-infected cells were determined in a long-term study of women with cervical carcinoma. cytolysis of surface antigens differed significantly between the cervical carcinoma cell lines and hsv-2. regression of the tumor during treatment was accompanied by decreasing cytolysis in the cervical carcinoma lines, while tumor bearers and patients who became ... | 1977 | 200570 |
| unexpected disseminated herpes simplex infection in a newborn. | disseminated herpes simplex virus type 2 was unexpectedly discovered in a baby delivered by primary cesarean section at 36 weeks' gestation prior to rupture of the membranes. the mother was free of orogenital lesions at each prenatal examination. examination of the placenta revealed chorioamnionitis implicating an ascending infection from the mother's infected genital tract. | 1977 | 200876 |
| [herpes simplex virus (hsv-1 and hsv-2) infection: its clinical and oncogenic properties (author's transl)]. | the epidemiology and clinical features of diseases caused by the herpes simplex virus, are reviewed and recent results are discussed which give an insight into the complex mechanism of primary and chronic, recurrent hsv-1 infections. immunological reactions in hsv infection and data concerning the oncogenic potential of hsv-1 and -2 are dealt with. furthermore, current therapeutic possibilities are outlined. | 1977 | 201107 |
| studies on tumors produced by cells transformed with herpes simplex virus type 2. | biological, histological, and ultrastructural studies were made on tumors produced in weanling hamsters inoculated with hamster embryo fibroblasts (hef) transformed by herpes simplex virus type 2 or with cultured cells (tumor cell lines t1 and t2) derived from the tumor tissues. the malignancy of transformants increased through passages in vitro and in vivo. histologically, two tumor cells lines (155-4t1 and u-15t1) produced fibrosarcomas and one (u-26t1) produced lesions resembling "malignant f ... | 1977 | 201537 |
| an investigation into the relationship of the immunological status of herpes simplex virus type-2 (hsv-2) infected animals and the tumor-enhancing property of this infection. | in order to compare the state of immunity of hsv-2 infected animals with their sham treated counterparts, several in vivo methods for cell-mediated immunity in addition to the stimulation in vitro of mouse splenocytes with pha were performed. the grafting of c 3 h mice with heterologous skin and the paw test with pha showed no noticeable difference between the two groups. the tuberculin test performed on guinea pigs infected via the footpads, permitted the detection of a slightly impaired reacti ... | 1977 | 201898 |
| induction of latent herpes simplex virus type 2 infection in human cervical epithelial cells in vitro. | an in vitro method was used to induce non-productive herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) infections in human ecto- and endocervical epithelial cells. adenine arabinoside (ara-a) could prevent the replication of hsv-2 in ecto- and endocervical cells and after removal of ara-a from growth medium a rapid destruction of explants with development of infectious virus was observed. when ara-a was not withdrawn until 4 days or later after in vitro infection the morphological, immunofluorescent and virol ... | 1977 | 203162 |

| incidence and distribution of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 from genital lesions in college women. | during a 9-month period, 9,772 women were treated at the student health center's gynecology clinic. herpes simplex virus was isolated from 30 of 57 patients clinically diagnosed as suffering from a herpetic or herpetic-like genial infection for a virological incidence rate of 0.31%. using virus plaque diameter in chick embryo cells and heat stability of viral thymidine kinase, 37% of the isolates were classified as herpes simplex virus type 1 and 63% were classified as herpes simplex virus type ... | 1977 | 204741 |
| chromosome abberations in rat embryo cells transformed after infection with ultraviolet-irradiated herpes simplex virus. | two rat embryo cell lines (tr1 and tr2) transformed after infection with ultaviolet-inactivated herpes simplex virus type 2 showed modal chromosome numbers in the tetraploid range. in the tr1 cell line a near-diploid cell population replaced during subcultivation the hypotetraploid cells thus explaining the loss of immunofluorescent viral antigens. both transformed cell lines showed frequent achromatic gaps. in the tr1 cell line such gaps were preferentially located in specific chromosome region ... | 1978 | 205041 |
| induction capacity and influence of dthdmp on thymidine kinase activity of type 1 and 2 strains of herpes simplex virus. | the thymidine kinase inducing ability of 104 strains of herpes simplex virus was studied comparatively. a pronounced relationship was established between induction of the enzyme and the serotype of the strains. as a rule, the strains of serotype 2 are weaker inducer of dthd- and dcyd-kinase activity than serotype 1 strains. a certain parallelism exists between induction of both enzymes, however the activity of the thymidine kinase increases after infection with herpes simplex virus 4--5 times mo ... | 1978 | 205197 |
| production of plasminogen activator by cells transformed by herpesviruses. | plasminogen activator is produced by hamster cells transformed by human herpesviruses. these cell lines have previously been shown to be oncogenic when injected s.c. into newborn syngeneic hamsters. lysis of fibrin overlays by these cell lines was plasminogen dependent. normal hamster embryo fibroblasts and a hamster cell line transformed by para-7 (an adenovirus-sv 40 hybrid) failed to produced lysis. in separate experiments fibrin overlay of lytically infected secondary rabbit kidney cells did ... | 1978 | 205345 |
| role of activated macrophages in resistance of congenitally athymic nude mice to hepatitis induced by herpes simplex virus type 2. | congenitally athymic nude (nu/nu) mice of a balb/c genetic background were found considerably more resistant to the induction of focal necrotic hepatitis by herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) tha, were phenotypically normal littermates (nu/+) or balb/c mice. the augmented resistance was age dependent, as it was only manifested in mice from 4 to 5 weeks of age. studies of the course of infection showed that nude mice were able to restrain virus multiplication in the liver far better than normal ... | 1978 | 205507 |
| the deoxyribonuclease induced after infection of kb cells by herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2. i. purification and characterization of the enzyme. | the deoxyribonuclease induced in kb cells by herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 1 and type 2 has been purified. both enzymes are able to completely degrade single- and double-stranded dna yielding 5'-monophosphonucleotides as the sole products. a divalent cation, either mg2+ or mn2+, is an absolute requirement for catalysis and a reducing agent is necessary for enzyme stability. the maximum rate of reaction is achieved with 5 mm mgcl2 for both hsv-1 and hsv-2 dnase. the optimum concentration for mn ... | 1978 | 206546 |
| biochemical transformation of mouse cells by herpes simplex virus type 2: enhancement by means of low-level photodynamic treatment. | the biochemical transformation of thymidine kinase-deficient cells by uv-inactivated herpes simplex virus is enhanced by low-level photodynamic treatment of the infected cells. at the concentration of proflavine used, the virus was not inactivated and both virus and cellular dna syntheses were only marginally inhibited. the observed enhancement of the transfer of a virus gene to the cell genome suggests a possible cocarcinogenic role for photodynamically active dyes at very low concentrations. | 1978 | 206727 |
