| metabolic fate of (e)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine in herpes simplex virus- and mock-infected cells. | (e)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine is a potent antiherpes compound with far better activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 than type 2. to understand the role of drug metabolism in this differential antiviral activity, we examined the metabolic fate of this drug in virus-infected and mock-infected vero cells by high-pressure liquid chromatography. after 8 h of incubation in which cells were exposed to 10 micrograms of the drug per ml, 63 pmol/10(6) cells of the parent compound was detecte ... | 1984 | 6097176 |
| alteration of lymphocyte transformation response to herpes simplex virus infection by acyclovir therapy. | to evaluate the effect of acyclovir (acv) therapy on the cellular immune response, we sequentially followed 43 patients with culture-proven first episodes of genital herpes simplex virus (hsv) infection. twenty-three patients who were treated with acv and 20 who received placebo had blood obtained weekly during the first 6 weeks after onset of lesions and had their in vitro lymphocyte transformation (lt) response to inactivated hsv antigens measured. the mean stimulation index to hsv antigens at ... | 1984 | 6098221 |
| monoclonal antibodies against herpes simplex viruses. | hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies against hsv-1 and 2 have been produced. balb/c mice were immunized by footpad infection and boosted by i.v. injection of viral antigens extracted from virus infected balb/c fibroblasts. after fusion hybrid cells were screened for antibody production by elisa and indirect immunofluorescence (iif). in our hands, iif had similar sensitivity and higher specificity than elisa but was more time-consuming. selected hybridomas have been characterized ... | 1984 | 6098497 |

| use of aggregating brain cultures to study the replication of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 in central nervous system tissue. | a novel tissue culture system consisting of reaggregated embryonic mouse brain cells was used to examine the replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and type 2 (hsv-2) within central nervous system tissue. brain aggregates cultured 30-40 days in vitro demonstrated progressive maturation and differentiation into cells recognizable as neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, with the latter cell type exhibiting myelin production. mature aggregates were infected with hsv and sampled at ... | 1984 | 6099372 |
| herpes simplex virus genital infection of the female guinea pig as a model for the evaluation of an experimental vaccine. | substantial protection against herpes simplex type 2 (hsv 2) infection of the female guinea pig genital tract was provided by immunization with an experimental hsv 2 vaccine prepared from the plasma membranes of infected mrc-5 cells. protection was evaluated in terms of the modification of histopathological lesions and clinical signs and in changes in viral replication and serological responses in vaccinated and control animals. | 1984 | 6099646 |
| antibodies to membrane antigens of herpes simplex virus type-2 infected cells and hsv-2 specific antibodies in patients with cervical cancer in malawi. | in a geographical study involving the united kingdom, sudan, sri lanka and malawi, sera were taken from 27 malawian patients with cervical cancer and 18 controls matched for age, ethnic origin and socioeconomic status. the sera were tested by indirect immunofluorescence for igg and iga antibodies to membrane antigens of herpes simplex virus type-2 (hsv-2). the results showed that there was no significant difference at titres 1:4 between malawian patients and controls, but at titres 1:16 the diff ... | 1984 | 6100279 |
| role of cytomegalovirus in kaposi's sarcoma. | previous studies have established an association between cytomegalovirus (cmv) and classic and endemic kaposi's sarcoma (ks) which can be extended to include the epidemic form of ks. the identification of nucleic acid sequences homologous to cmv but not to epstein-barr virus (ebv) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and type 2 (hsv-2) as well as the detection of cmv gene products, particularly early antigens, in tumour biopsies and/or early cultures derived from them is an important criterio ... | 1984 | 6100282 |

| tumorigenicity of herpesvirus-transformed cells correlates with production of plasminogen activator. | our studies first demonstrated that established hamster cell lines transformed in vitro by herpesviruses activate plasminogen more effectively than normal hamster fibroblasts. this ability is probably due to increased levels of the enzyme plasminogen activator (pa). in the studies described here, the 333-8-9 cell line, originally transformed by herpes simplex virus type 2 strain 333, was used to derive subclonal lines that maintained stable pa phenotypes over the course of long in vitro passage. ... | 1981 | 6100964 |
| herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 and multiple sclerosis. | a hypothesis is proposed which states that multiple sclerosis (ms) is caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) in persons lacking herpes simplex virus type 1(hsv-1) immunity. it is examined by comparing the epidemiology of these viruses with that of ms. the age at which hsv-2 infections are first detected, as well as the age of peak incidence are similar to those for ms. if age-specific hsv-1 immunity data from various places is compared, an inverse relationship of immunity levels with lati ... | 1981 | 6116906 |
| correlation of the chemical structure of 4-nitroquinolines inactivating human cytomegalovirus and established in vivo carcinogenicity tests. | inactivation of the infectivity of human cytomegalovirus (cmv) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and type 2 (hsv-2) has been observed following exposure to 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (nqo) or its metabolite, 4-hydroxyaminoquinoline 1-oxide (haqo). the present study of the specificity of the chemical structure of 4-nitroquinolines demonstrated that both the 4-nitro and 1-oxide groups were required for inactivation of virus infectivity. reduction of the 4-nitro group to a 4-hydroxyamino group ... | 1980 | 6119808 |
| control of expression of the herpes simplex virus-induced deoxypyrimidine triphosphatase in cells infected with mutants of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 and intertypic recombinants. | infection of cells with herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) induces high levels of deoxypyrimidine triphosphatase. the majority of the enzyme activity is found in infected cell nuclei. a similar activity is induced by hsv type 2 (hsv-2) which, in contrast to the hsv-1 enzyme, fractionates to more than 99% in the soluble cytoplasmic extract. of a series of temperature-sensitive mutants of hsv-1 studied, only the immediate-early mutants in complementation group 1-2 (strain 17 mutants tsd and tsk a ... | 1982 | 6128430 |
| detection of rna complementary to herpes-simplex virus in mononuclear cells from patients with behçet's syndrome and recurrent oral ulcers. | viral dna probes were used in in-situ hybridisation to detect the complementary rna in mononuclear cells from the blood of normal subjects and patients with behçet's syndrome and recurrent oral ulcers. hybridisation of 125i-labelled dna probes was detected by means of autoradiography and quantitated with a video image-analysis technique. hybridisation between herpes-simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) dna and the complementary rna in mononuclear cells was significantly greater in 10 of 20 patients with ... | 1982 | 6129461 |
| induction of nuclear deoxyribopyrimidine triphosphatase and sensitivity of clinical isolates of herpes simplex virus to (e)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine. | in a blind study, 21 clinical isolates of herpes simplex virus which had been typed using differential growth on guinea pig embryo versus chicken embryo cells were tested for the presence of the viral deoxyribopyrimidine triphosphatase. in all isolates of type 1, the triphosphatase was present in the nuclei of the infected cells, while none of the hsv-2 isolates induced a nuclear enzyme. in all isolates there was a complete correlation between the presence of nuclear deoxyribopyrimidine triphosp ... | 1983 | 6135391 |
| demonstration of a herpes simplex virus type 2-induced deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase in infected kb cells and in biochemically transformed hela cells. | the deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dutpase) activity which is induced in kb cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) and expressed in biochemically transformed hela cells was separated from the host dutpase activity using either gel filtration or chromatofocusing chromatography. the hsv-2-induced dutpase differed from the host dutpase activity in its molecular weight (53000 versus 46000) and isoelectric point (pi 5 x 9 versus 6 x 4). however, it was similar to the ... | 1984 | 6141216 |
| antiherpes activity of some novel analogues of (e)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (e-brvudr) in two different cell lines. | in a series of 5-vinyl-2'-deoxyuridine (vudr) analogues (5-(2-x-vinyl)-udrs) the (e)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-udr (e-brvudr) proved the most potent inhibitor of plaque formation of two herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) strains in human embryonic lung fibroblast (helf) and african green monkey kidney (vero) cell cultures. the (z)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-udr (z-brvudr) isomer and the 5-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-udr (br2vudr) analogue were 10-20 times less efficient, whereas the (e)-5-(2-cyanovinyl)-udr (cnvudr) and t ... | 1984 | 6143491 |
| effects of herpes simplex virus strains on human fibroblast and lymphocyte chromosomes and the localization of chromosomal aberrations. | the effects on human chromosomes of types 1, 2 and of intermediate serotype of herpes simplex virus (hsv) was compared in fibroblast and lymphocyte cultures. the karyological changes due to hsv were shown to depend on the serotype used as well as on the kind of cells examined (agent-specificity and cell-reaction specificity). differences were noted among the strains in relation to the degree and character of the aberrations induced. conventional giemsa staining and the trypsin g-banding techniqu ... | 1984 | 6145351 |
| differential antiherpes activity of the (e)-and (z)-isomers of 5-(2-fluorovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (fvudr). | four novel analogues of (e)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine [(e)-brvudr]--the (e)- and (z)-isomer of 5-(2-fluorovinyl)-udr (fvudr), (z)-5-(2-carboxy-2-fluorovinyl)-udr [(z)-cooh-fvudr], and (e)-5-(2-ethoxyvinyl)-udr [(e)-eovudr] were compared with the reference compounds (e)-brvudr and 5-vinyl-udr (vudr) for their inhibitory effects on plaque formation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1 strain 77) and type 2 (hsv-2 strain 82) in human embryonic lung fibroblast (helf) cell cultures. (z)-fvudr ... | 1984 | 6148852 |
| purification of herpes simplex virus-specified major dna-binding proteins and detection of antibodies to them in human and rabbit sera. | we purified herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2-specified nonstructural dna-binding proteins (icp8 and icsp 11/12, respectively) from infected vero cells and applied them in elisa test to analyse human and rabbit sera. only a weak immune response to the icp8 and icsp 11/12 could be demonstrated following experimental hsv-1 or hsv-2 infections of rabbits. low levels of icsp8 antibodies were found also in acute hsv infections of man. | 1984 | 6152122 |
| inhibition of herpes simplex virus type 2-induced biochemical transformation by interferon. | the effect of interferon on the biochemical transformation of thymidine kinase-deficient cells by uv-inactivated herpes simplex virus type 2 has been studied. transformation was much less sensitive to the action of interferon than virus multiplication. however, the continuous presence of a high dose of interferon (2,000 u) inhibited transformation almost completely. although we could not differentiate between the effect of interferon on fixation and expression of the virus thymidine kinase gene, ... | 1980 | 6154151 |
| biochemical transformation of mouse cells by a purified fragment of marmoset herpesvirus dna. | although the size of marmoset herpesvirus (marhv) dna, estimated by velocity sedimentation in sucrose gradients, was similar to that of herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) dna, the restriction endonuclease sites of marhv and hsv-1 dnas were quite different. a specific bamhi restriction fragment (6.2 x 10(6) daltons) of marhv dna biochemically transformed lm(tk-) mouse fibroblasts to the thymidine kinase(tk)-positive phenotype. rabbit antisera, prepared against marhv tk, inhibited marhv-induced t ... | 1980 | 6154671 |
| structural analysis of the capsid polypeptides of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2. | capsids of herpes simplex virus (hsv) types 1 and 2 contain seven polypeptides ranging in molecular weight from 154,000 to 12,000 (termed nc-1 through nc-7 in order of descending molecular weight). antibodies prepared to hsv-1 capsid polypeptides isolated from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels reacted in an immunofluorescence assay against hsv-1-infected kb cells. three of the antibodies (anti-nc-1, anti-nc-2, and anti-nc-3,4) also reacted with hsv-2-infected cells. tryptic peptide anal ... | 1980 | 6154808 |
| glycoproteins with type common and type specific antigenic sites excreted from cells infected with herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2. | agar immunodiffusion tests demonstrated that bhk 21 cells infected with either hsv i or hsv 2 release only a few hsv-specified antigens into the extracellular fluid (infected cell released polypeptides-icrp). neutralization blocking experiments showed that the majority of antigens/(including the band ii common antigen) involved as target sites in antibody-mediated virus neutralization are present in the icrp of both hsv i and hsv 2.sds-page identified six regions of virus-specified proteins in t ... | 1980 | 6156995 |
| function, target-cell preference and cell-surface characteristics of herpes-simplex virus type-2-induced non-antigen-specific killer cells. | wild-type and congenitally athymic nude mice injected with herpes-simplex virus type 2 (hsv 2) responded with a local outburst of non-antigen-specific killer cells masking any virus-specific response. cytolytic activity could be assayed on mouse-tumor cell lines and on syngeneic or allogeneic non-transformed cells from various sources. some of the tumor cell lines and proteose-peptone-induced peritoneal exudate cells were lysed more efficiently after infection with either hsv 2, vaccinia or infl ... | 1981 | 6165679 |
| comparison of the effects of arabinosyladenine, arabinosylhypoxanthine, and arabinosyladenine 5'-monophosphate against herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, and cytomegalovirus with their effects on cellular deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis. | in a single line of human foreskin fibroblasts, minimum inhibitory concentrations (mics) and the minimum intracellular virus inactivation concentrations (miics) of arabinosyladenine, arabinosylhypoxanthine, and arabinosyladenine 5'-monophosphate were assayed for a number of recent isolates of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (hsv-1, hsv-2), varicella-zoster virus (vzv), and cytomegalovirus (cmv). (the term miic is used here to describe the selective qualitative intracellular inhibition of the ... | 1981 | 6166244 |
| detection of rna complementary to herpes simplex virus dna in human cervical squamous cell neoplasms. | nonneoplastic and neoplastic cervical biopsy specimens were examined by in situ hybridization to 125i-labeled dna of herpes simplex virus (hsv), adenovirus, and bacteriophage lambda dna's, and quantitative hybridization data were obtained using a video image analyser. hsv-specific rna was detected in 72% of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, 60% of squamous cervical carcinomas, 2% of nonneoplastic cervices, and 9% of primary adenocarcinomas of the cervix. none of the tissues gave positive hybri ... | 1981 | 6167349 |
| monoclonal antibodies to two glycoproteins of herpes simplex virus type 2. | monoclonal antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 2 were found to precipitate different numbers of radiolabeled polypeptides from lysates of virus-infected cells. antibodies directed against two viral glycoproteins were characterized. antibodies from hybridoma 17 alpha a2 precipitated a 60,000-molecular-weight polypeptide which chased into a 66,000- and 79,000-molecular-weight polypeptide. all three polypeptides labeled in the presence of [3h]glucosamine and had similar tryptic digest maps. the ... | 1981 | 6168775 |
| characteristics of a persistent rubella infection in a human cell line. | a persistent infection of the human mcf-7 cell line (mcf-7rv) was established with the dbs strain of rubella virus at a low multiplicity of infections. fluorescent antibody staining revealed that 100% of the cells were positive for rubella antigens. the infected cells were refractory to superinfection with vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv) but were susceptible to herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2). no interferon could be detected in infected cell culture fluid, and continuous passage in the pres ... | 1981 | 6169785 |
| herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 intracellular p40: type-specific and cross-reactive antigenic determinants on peptides generated by partial proteolysis. | intracellular p40 is a class of protein ranging in molecular weight from 39,000 to 45,000 that is immunoprecipitated from herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1)- and hsv-2-infected cell extracts by mouse monoclonal antibodies or guinea pig antisera against hsv-1 and hsv-2 nucleocapsid p40. analysis by a two-dimensional gel system showed that hsv-1 and hsv-2 intracellular p40 each consisted of three major components. however, these hsv-1 and hsv-2 proteins differed in charge and size. analysis of st ... | 1981 | 6172597 |
| effect of monoclonal antibodies on limited proteolysis of native glycoprotein gd of herpes simplex virus type 1. | we examined the properties of 17 monoclonal antibodies to glycoprotein gd of herpes simplex type 1 (hsv-1) (gd-1) and hsv-2 (gd-2). the antibodies recognized eight separate determinants of gd, based on differences in radioimmuno-precipitation and neutralization assays. the determinants were distributed as follows: three were gd-1 specific, one was gd-2 specific, and four were type common. several type-specific and type-common determinants appeared to be involved in neutralization. we developed a ... | 1982 | 6176725 |
| protease inhibitors suppress fibrinolytic activity of herpesvirus-transformed cells. | previous studies in this laboratory have quantified the fibrinolytic activity of herpesvirus-transformed cell lines and implicated the proteolytic capacity of cloned cell lines in the formation of primary and metastatic tumours. because of the involvement of proteases in tumourigenesis in this system, we examined the effect of various protease inhibitors (alpha-1-antitrypsin, leupeptin and alpha-2-macroglobulin), as well as hamster serum containing acute phase proteins generated in response to p ... | 1982 | 6178796 |
| anti-herpesvirus activity of adenine arabinoside analogues in tissue culture and a genital infection of mice and guinea pigs. | four analogues of adenine arabinoside (ara-a) were compared for activity against herpes simplex virus (hsv) in tissue culture and in a genital infection of mice and guinea pigs. these analogues, 5'-monophosphate (ara-amp), 5'-valerate ester (ara-av), 2'3'-diacetate ester (ara-ada), and 2',3',5'- triacetate ester (ara-ata) have greater water and lipid solubility and resistance to deamination than ara-a. in mouse embryo fibroblast cells, similar viral inhibitory levels were noted with ara-a, amp, ... | 1982 | 6179469 |
| effect of combinations of acyclovir with vidarabine or its 5'-monophosphate on herpes simplex viruses in cell culture and in mice. | the combination of various concentrations of acyclovir and vidarabine or its 5'-monophosphate usually produced an additive interaction with various strains of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 in vero cells. similarly, certain combinations of these drugs were more effective than the individual drugs in decreasing the mortality and increasing the mean day of death of mice inoculated intracerebrally with herpes simplex virus type 2. neither antagonism nor interference was noted for any of the in ... | 1982 | 6182836 |
| herpes simplex infection simulating a positive auto-inoculation for haemophilus ducreyi. | auto-inoculation from a genital ulcer suspected of being ulcus molle gave redness after 24 hours and after 48 hours vesicles and pustules appeared. cultivation from the auto-inoculation after the 48 hours was positive for herpes simplex virus type 2. our observation underlines two points: auto-inoculation for the diagnosing of haemophilus ducreyi infection may be mimicked by herpes simplex infection, and the incubation period of herpes simplex can be shorter than the 4-5 days usually given. | 1982 | 6183910 |
| experimental infection of inbred mice with herpes simplex virus. iv. comparison of interferon production and natural killer cell activity in susceptible and resistant adult mice. | inbred mouse strains differ in susceptibility to infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2 (hsv-1, hsv-2). in this study interferon production was tested in the peritoneal exudate of mice after intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of hsv-1 or hsv-2. in hsv-resistant mice (c57 bl/6, c3 h/hej) high titers of interferon were already present 2 to 4 hours after injection. in comparison, less resistant mice (dba/2, akr) lacked this early response. there was no correlation between interferon tit ... | 1982 | 6187314 |
| hla-restricted t lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity against herpes simplex virus-infected cells in humans. | cytotoxic t lymphocytes (ctl) against herpes simplex virus (hsv) were induced in vitro from human peripheral blood lymphocytes by stimulation with hsv antigen. ctl generated by hsv type 1 (hsv-1) antigen stimulation killed not only hsv-1-infected target cells but also hsv type 2 (hsv-2)-infected target cells, though at a lower level. this evidence suggests that ctl against hsv recognize the hsv type-specific and type-common determinants on hsv-infected target cells. these ctl were generated from ... | 1983 | 6187690 |
| characteristics of a shared idiotype by two igm anti-herpes simplex virus monoclonal antibodies that recognize different determinants. | two igm monoclonal antibodies (mcab) that recognized distinct antigenic determinants of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv2) were shown to share idiotypes. seven other igm mcab generated to either hsv2 or the major envelope glycoprotein of hsv2, vp119, did not express this shared idiotype. the idiotypic determinants were associated with the antibody-combining site, because hsv2 inhibited the idiotype-anti-idiotype reactions. anti-hsv2 sera raised in balb/c mice also expressed the idiotype shared b ... | 1983 | 6187827 |
| antigenic variants of herpes simplex virus selected with glycoprotein-specific monoclonal antibodies. | monoclonal antibodies specific for herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) glycoproteins were used to demonstrate that hsv undergoes mutagen-induced and spontaneous antigenic variation. hybridomas were produced by polyethylene glycol-mediated fusion of p3-x63-ag8.653 myeloma cells with spleen cells from balb/c mice infected with hsv-1 (strain kos). hybrid clones were screened for production of hsv-specific neutralizing antibody. the glycoprotein specificities of the antibodies were determined by sod ... | 1983 | 6187935 |
| human cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex type 2 virus in normal and adenocarcinomatous prostate glands. | normal prostate, benign prostate hypertrophy (bhp), and prostate adenocarcinoma (acp) biopsy specimens were analyzed for the presence of human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2)-specific macromolecules. hcmv dna homologous sequences were detected in 2 of 13 normal prostate, 2 of 9 bhp, and 3 of 10 acp tissues, and hsv-2 dna homologous sequences were found in 1 normal prostate tissue and 2 acp tissues. in situ dna-rna hybridizations indicated hcmv-specific rna in 3 of ... | 1983 | 6188872 |
| a micro solid-phase radioimmunoassay for detection of herpesvirus type-specific antibody: parameters involved in standardization. | a micro solid-phase radioimmunoassay (micro-spria) was developed to demonstrate type-specific antibodies to herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (hsv1 and hsv2). glycoproteins from the 123,000 dalton region of hsv1 (vp123) and the 119,000 dalton region of hsv2 (vp119) were isolated on preparative polyacrylamide gels for use as antigens in the micro-spria. human sera selected from clinical samples by virological history and appropriate microneutralization data were used to standardize the micro-spr ... | 1983 | 6189848 |
| a micro solid-phase radioimmunoassay for detection of herpesvirus type-specific antibody: specificity and sensitivity. | the specificity and sensitivity of a micro solid-phase radioimmunoassay (micro-spria) that detects type-specific igg antibody to herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (hsv1 and hsv2) were evaluated. glycoproteins vp123 (molecular weight, 123,000) of hsv1 and vp119 (molecular weight, 119,000) of hsv2 were found to display the greatest degree of antigenic type-specificity of several hsv antigens tested with the micro-spria technique. when testing a group of sera, negative for anti-hsv antibodies by m ... | 1983 | 6189849 |
| rapid and selective shutoff of plasma protein production in herpes simplex virus type 2-infected hepatoma cells. | the effect of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) infection of hepatoma mca-rh7777 cells on the production of alpha-fetoprotein (afp) and several other secreted plasma proteins was examined. cells infected with hsv-2 were labeled with [35s]methionine for various times postinfection (p.i.). culture media and intracellular extracts were immunoprecipitated with plasma protein antibodies and examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. the relative levels of afp and several other plasma proteins ... | 1983 | 6190309 |
| herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein gf and type 1 glycoprotein gc have related antigenic determinants. | the 104-s monoclonal antibody immunoprecipitated from herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2)-infected cell extracts the 75,000-molecular-weight glycoprotein gf and its 65,000-molecular-weight precursor (pgf). the precursor pgf was sensitive to endoglycosidase h digestion, indicating the presence of high mannose-type oligosaccharides, whereas the stable gf product was sensitive to neuraminidase digestion, indicating the presence of sialic acid residues. the 104-s antibody also weakly precipitated th ... | 1983 | 6191040 |
| characterization of a herpes simplex virus type 2 75,000-molecular-weight glycoprotein antigenically related to herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein c. | evidence is presented that the herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein previously designated gf is antigenically related to herpes simplex virus type 1 gc (gc-1). an antiserum prepared against type 1 virion envelope proteins immunoprecipitated gf of type 2 (gf-2), and competition experiments revealed that the anti-gc-1 component of the antiserum was responsible for the anti-gf-2 cross-reactivity. an antiserum prepared against fully denatured purified gf-2, however, and three anti-gf-2 monoclona ... | 1983 | 6194310 |
| mode of protection of mice against herpes simplex virus type 2 infection by propionibacterium. | we compared various strains of propionibacterium with regard to protection of young adult mice against lethal infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2). propionibacterium acnes, p. granulosum, and p. avidum were protective, while p. acidi-propionici and p. lymphophilum were ineffective. the protective effect proved to be in the cell wall fraction. attempts were made to elucidate possible mechanisms of the protection using both effective and ineffective strains. the results strongly sugg ... | 1983 | 6195512 |
| x-linked resistance of mice to high doses of herpes simplex virus type 2 correlates with early interferon production. | mice inoculated intraperitoneally with herpes simplex virus type 2 develop focal necrotizing hepatitis and eventually die from ascending myelitis and encephalitis. the genetics of resistance to the infection were analyzed in crosses between resistant c57bl/10 mice and susceptible balb/c mice. it was shown that the resistance of c57bl/10 mice to hepatitis induction was influenced by an x-linked dominant gene as previously shown for the gr mouse strain. the course of infection in the liver pointed ... | 1983 | 6196293 |
| comparison of the antiviral effects of 5-methoxymethyldeoxyuridine-5'-monophosphate with adenine arabinoside-5'-monophosphate. | methoxymethyldeoxyuridine-5'-monophosphate (mmudr-mp) and arabinofuranosyladenine-5'-monophosphate (ara-amp) had significant antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) and type 2 (hsv-2) in rk-13 and vero cells. mmudr-mp and ara-amp were more potent than methoxymethyldeoxyuridine (mmudr) and arabinofuranosyladenine (ara-a) against the ms strain of hsv-2. mmudr-mp inhibited replication of hsv-1r (mutant resistant to mmudr). mmudr in combination with ara-amp showed additive act ... | 1983 | 6197027 |
| localization and synthesis of an antigenic determinant of herpes simplex virus glycoprotein d that stimulates the production of neutralizing antibody. | an antigenic determinant capable of inducing type-common herpes simplex virus (hsv)-neutralizing antibodies has been located on glycoprotein d (gd) of hsv type 1 (hsv-1). a peptide of 16 amino acids corresponding to residues 8 to 23 of the mature glycoprotein (residues 33 to 48 of the predicted gd-1 sequence) was synthesized. this peptide reacted with an anti-gd monoclonal antibody (group vii) previously shown to neutralize the infectivity of hsv-1 and hsv-2. the peptide was also recognized by p ... | 1984 | 6197535 |
| identification and preliminary mapping with monoclonal antibodies of a herpes simplex virus 2 glycoprotein lacking a known type 1 counterpart. | the properties of herpes simplex virus 2 (hsv-2)-specific proteins reactive with monoclonal antibody h966 derived from mice immunized with hsv-2 strain g are reported. the reactive proteins contained in infected cell lysates subjected to electrophoresis in denaturing gels and transferred to nitrocellulose sheets form a relatively sharp band characteristic of mr 124,000 proteins and a diffuse, more slowly migrating band. antigens reactive with h966 were detected on the surface of viable, unfixed ... | 1984 | 6199891 |
