| cells expressing herpes simplex virus glycoprotein gc but not gb, gd, or ge are recognized by murine virus-specific cytotoxic t lymphocytes. | to determine which viral molecule(s) is recognized by herpes simplex virus (hsv)-specific cytotoxic t lymphocytes (ctl), target cells were constructed which express individual hsv glycoproteins. a mouse l cell line, z4/6, which constitutively expressed high levels of hsv type 2 (hsv-2) gd (gd-2) was isolated and characterized previously (d. c. johnson and j. r. smiley, j. virol. 54:682-689, 1985). despite the expression of gd on the surface of z4/6 cells, these cells were not killed by anti-hsv- ... | 1987 | 3037106 |
| sensitivity in vitro of herpes simplex virus isolates to human fibroblast interferon. | sensitivity of herpes simplex virus (hsv) isolates, from patients with recurrent infections, to human fibroblast beta interferon (ifn), was tested in vitro. among 25 hsv strains, 12 were hsv-1, isolated from facial and labial lesions, and 13 were hsv-2 isolated from genital lesions. viral sensitivity to ifn was examined on epithelial mb cell line by yield reduction and plaque reduction and close correspondence between the two methods was observed. most of hsv-1 isolates were in the same range of ... | 1987 | 3037288 |
| failure of intertypic recombinant constructed from hsv-1 x hsv-2 virulent parents to induce ocular pathology. | an intertypic recombinant constructed from hsv-1 x hsv-2 parents was isolated which failed to induce any overt ocular pathology when inoculated onto the sacrificed cornea of four-week-old sjl/j mice. during the 24-48 hour post-infection period there was transient virus replication but by day 3 the infectious titer in the eye had dropped by greater than or equal to 10(4)-fold, and little or no virus could be recovered thereafter. when immunosuppressed (600 r) mice were infected corneally, virus c ... | 1987 | 3030649 |
| inflammatory sensory polyradiculopathy and reactivated peripheral nervous system infection in a genital herpes model. | to study effects of herpesvirus reactivation on the nervous system, mice with latent genital herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) infections were immunosuppressed. reactivated infection was detected by virus isolation or by antigen screening in histological sections of spines that contained cords, roots, and dorsal root ganglia. in ganglia, viral antigen was restricted to 2 distinct groups at t9-l2, and l6-s2 levels. in some ganglia, antigen was found in up to 4% of non-contiguous neurons, in the ... | 1987 | 3039065 |
| expression of the hsv specified major dna-binding protein in virus infected raji and vero cells. | we studied the expression of the herpes simplex virus type-2 (hsv-2) specified major dna-binding protein (icsp 11/12) in virus infected raji and vero cells. immunofluorescence staining by a specific icsp 11/12 antiserum distinguished between different cell-virus interactions. icsp 11/12 synthesized in the hsv-2 infected vero cells showed dense homogenous nuclear staining early in the infection. during virus replication the pattern changed into a less dense, somewhat marginating staining. the cor ... | 1987 | 3034205 |
| herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein biogenesis: effect of monensin on glycoprotein maturation, intracellular transport and virus infectivity. | the ionophore monensin inhibited the formation of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) particles by about 30% but the yields of infectious particles were reduced to 5% and 1% for cell-associated and extracellular virus, respectively. the presence of monensin did not affect the processing of the two viral glycoproteins gb-2 and gg-2. however, two other glycoproteins, gc-2 and gd-2, were not processed to their fully mature forms in the monensin-treated cells and only the faster moving pgc-2 and pgd ... | 1987 | 3037016 |
| the pathogenesis of herpetic ocular disease in the guinea pig. | a detailed study of the pathogenesis of herpetic eye disease in the guinea pig was undertaken to further develop this animal model. several well-known hsv-1 strains were tested for their ability to produce disease and cause acute and latent infections of the trigeminal ganglion: mckrae, kos, mcintyre, re, and shealey. two hsv-2 strains failed to cause eye infections. the shealey strain [hsv-1 (sh)] produced the most severe eye infections, characterized by epithelial and stromal disease, corneal ... | 1987 | 3038053 |
| mechanism of inhibition of herpes simplex virus replication by delta 7-prostaglandin a1 and delta 12-prostaglandin j2. | we studied the effect of prostaglandins (pgs) a1, delta 7-a1, a2, d2, e1, e2, f2 alpha, j2 and delta 12-j2 on the replication of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2). of nine pgs we tested, delta 7-pga1 was found to have the most potent inhibitory effect; 50% inhibitory dose (id50) was 0.35 microgram/ml in the plaque reduction assays and hsv-2 induced protein synthesis was strongly suppressed at 0.5 microgram/ml whereas at this dose, the protein synthesis of uninfected cells was not inhibited. do ... | 1987 | 3040001 |
| hsv-2 replication sites, monocyte and lymphocytic cell infection and virion phagocytosis by neutrophils, in vesicular lesions on penile skin. electronoptical studies of a biopsy. | from a heterosexual male with recurrent genital herpes simplex virus (hsv-2) infection, a fresh intraepidermal vesicle on the penile skin was excised by punch biopsy, fixed and processed for electron microscopy. differing locations and appearances of capsids and virions were studied to elucidate true host or destroyer cells. hsv-2 propagation and virion formation occurred predominantly in multi- or mononucleate spinosum cells situated at the base of the vesicle. however, some of the monocytes, y ... | 1987 | 3038975 |
| antibody response to herpes simplex virus glycoprotein d: effects of acyclovir and relation to recurrence. | we developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for measuring the antibody response to herpes simplex virus (hsv) glycoprotein d (gd). the elisa was specific and more sensitive than immunoblotting techniques. antibody to hsv gd was detected in 10 of 12 sera (geometric mean titer, 36.3) obtained from hsv-2-infected guinea pigs 14 days after intravaginal inoculation, and the titer increased to greater than or equal to 5,120 on day 60. therapy with acyclovir delayed and diminished the ant ... | 1987 | 3039009 |
| studies on dna topoisomerases i and ii in herpes simplex virus type 2-infected cells. | it has been suggested that herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 1 may induce a virus-specific dna topoisomerase activity which copurifies with virus-induced dna polymerase. we have examined dna topoisomerase (topo) i and ii activities in hsv-2-infected hela s3 cells. both activities were partially purified using deae-cellulose, phosphocellulose and double-stranded dna cellulose column chromatography. it was found that both activities could be separated from hsv-2-specific dna polymerase. throughout t ... | 1987 | 3039049 |
| antiherpesvirus activity of 9-(4-hydroxy-3-hydroxy-methylbut-1-yl)guanine (brl 39123) in cell culture. | the activity of 9-(4-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylbut-1-yl)guanine (brl 39123) against several herpesviruses was compared with that of acyclovir (acv). in plaque reduction tests with clinical isolates of herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1), herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2), and varicella-zoster virus, mean 50% inhibitory concentrations (ic50s) (n = number tested) for brl 39123 were 0.4 (n = 17), 1.5 (n = 13), and 3.1 (n = 5) micrograms/ml, respectively. corresponding ic50s for acv were 0.2, 0.6, an ... | 1987 | 3631945 |
| antiviral activities of human monoclonal antibodies to herpes simplex virus. | hybridomas producing human monoclonal antibodies (mabs) against herpes simplex virus (hsv) were established by fusing human tonsillar lymphocytes with mouse myeloma cells. three hybridomas have been stably producing mabs for more than 16 months. all three mabs--h1, h2, and h3--were of the igg1 isotype and recognized the gb glycoprotein of hsv types 1 and 2 (hsv-1 and hsv-2). mabs h2 and h3 not only bound to the surface membrane of hsv-infected cells but also neutralized both hsv-1 and hsv-2, whe ... | 1987 | 3025308 |
| induction of cellular functions in spontaneously immortalized rat-2 cells transfected with cloned herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) dna. | experiments were done to determine if cloned transforming sequences from herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) dna confer upon transfected rat-2 cells the capacity to be stimulated in phospholipase and cyclooxygenase activities following 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (tpa) treatment. tumor-derived rat-2 cells transformed with sub-fragments (bamhi-e, hindiii/hpai-ed, or psti-c) overlapping the right-hand end of the bglii-c transforming region of hsv-2 dna were stimulated by tpa in both phosp ... | 1987 | 3026679 |
| structure and expression of the herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein gb gene. | the gene for glycoprotein gb2 of herpes simplex virus type 2 strain 333 was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in mammalian cells. the gb2 protein had an overall nucleotide and amino acid sequence homology of 86% with the cognate gb1 protein. however, of the 125 amino acid substitutions or deletions, only 12.5% were conservative replacements. these differences were clustered within an nh2-terminal region, a central region, and a cooh-terminal region, resulting in domains of near identity broken by ... | 1987 | 3027364 |
| a single-base change within the dna polymerase locus of herpes simplex virus type 2 can confer resistance to aphidicolin. | an aphidicolin-resistant (aphr) mutant of herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 2 strain 186 previously has been shown to induce an altered viral dna polymerase that is more resistant to aphidicolin and more sensitive to phosphonoacetic acid (paa) than is wild-type dna polymerase. in this study the mutation responsible for the aphidicolin-resistant phenotype was physically mapped by marker transfer experiments. the physical map limits for the aphr mutation were contained in a 1.1-kilobase pair region ... | 1987 | 3027369 |
| antigenic cross-reactions among herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, epstein-barr virus, and cytomegalovirus. | polyvalent rabbit antisera against herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (hsv-1 and hsv-2), cytomegalovirus (cmv), and epstein-barr virus (ebv), monospecific antisera against affinity-purified hsv-2 glycoproteins gb and gg, and a panel of monoclonal antibodies against hsv and ebv proteins were used to analyze cross-reactive molecules in cells infected with the four herpesviruses. a combination of immunoprecipitation and western blotting with these reagents was used to determine that all four viruses ... | 1987 | 3029407 |
| protective effect of passive immunization on herpetic retinitis of newborn rabbits. | we studied the protective effects of passive immunization with virus specific antibody in newborn rabbits inoculated subcutaneously with type 2 herpes simplex virus (hsv-2). newborn rabbits given anti-hsv-2 antibody intraperitoneally (ip) on days 0, 2 and 4 post infection had smaller herpetic skin lesions and reduced mortality when compared to controls. in addition, the ip treatment using this schedule reduced virus growth in the skin lesions and virus dissemination, so that it decreased the fre ... | 1987 | 3030640 |
| neonatal herpes simplex virus infection occurring in second twin of an asymptomatic mother. failure of a modern protocol. | a case of neonatal herpes that occurred after vaginal delivery in the absence of genital lesions is presented. the mother had a history of drug addiction and genital herpes. asymptomatic shedding of herpes simplex virus type 2 from the cervix was noted in the second trimester of pregnancy. despite being followed with a protocol of close surveillance and serial culturing of the genital tract, the patient gave birth to twins, one of whom developed herpes simplex virus type 2 in the postpartum peri ... | 1987 | 3025467 |
| photodynamic inactivation of influenza and herpes viruses by hematoporphyrin. | hematoporphyrin (hp), at concentrations as low as 0.5 microgram/ml, was found to inhibit the in vitro replication of influenza a and herpes simplex viruses, but not of several other viruses. the effect required exposure of the viruses or cells to visible light and was demonstrable when hp was administered shortly before virus inoculation or during the infection. in studies on the mechanism of action of hp, we found that in the presence of light, hp caused decomposition of gmp but not of various ... | 1987 | 3026246 |
| transmission of infection with herpes simplex virus by renal transplantation. | disseminated infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 was identified in two patients 20 days after they had received kidney transplants from the same organ donor. neither patient had neutralizing antibody to herpes simplex virus before transplantation, and both had herpes simplex virus isolated from surveillance cultures of urine before the onset of clinical symptoms. a clear focus of primary infection was not found in either patient. analysis of the patients' isolates by dna restriction endon ... | 1987 | 3027191 |
| suppression of delayed type hypersensitivity to herpes simplex virus type 1 following immunization with anti-idiotypic antibody: an example of split tolerance. | intraperitoneal (i.p.) immunization with herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) or an anti-idiotypic antibody (anti-id c) prepared against a monoclonal antibody specific for glycoprotein c of hsv-1, tolerizes mice for an hsv-1 delayed type hypersensitivity (dth) response. this tolerization could be adoptively transferred to naive x-irradiated mice by splenic t cells, and was specific for hsv-1 dth. thus, dth-tolerized mice responded to vaccinia virus or hsv-2 challenge, while remaining tolerized fo ... | 1987 | 3033128 |
| three mutants of herpes simplex virus type 2: one lacking the genes us10, us11 and us12 and two in which rs has been extended by 6 kb to 0.91 map units with loss of us sequences between 0.94 and the us/trs junction. | in the process of generating restriction endonuclease site deletion mutants, we have isolated and characterized three mutants of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2), strain hg52, with large genomic deletions in us and trs. the deleted sequences (7.5 kb) extend from 0.94 map coordinates (m.c.) to 0.99 m.c. and are presumed to contain the hsv-2 gene equivalents of us10, 11 and 12, one copy of immediate early (ie) gene 3 and one copy of an origin of replication (oris). one of the mutants (hg52x163x ... | 1987 | 3027237 |
| processing of the herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein gg-2 results in secretion of a 34,000-mr cleavage product. | herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein gg-2 undergoes a cleavage event during its synthesis and processing. the focus of this report is on the detection and fate of the small-molecular-weight component of gg-2, designated the 34k component. in cultures containing the inhibitor monensin, a 31k component accumulated within infected cells. in contrast, the intracellular accumulation of this 31k precursor was not detected in cultures grown in the absence of the inhibitor. however, the 34k componen ... | 1987 | 3033302 |
| nucleosides. 139. synthesis and anticytomegalovirus and antiherpes simplex virus activity of 5'-modified analogues of 2'-fluoroarabinosylpyrimidine nucleosides. | in order to determine if modification of the 5'-position reduces or abolishes the antiviral activity of 2'-fluoro-5-iodo-ara-c (fiac), 2'-fluoro-5-iodo-ara-u (fiau), or 2'-fluoro-5-methyl-ara-u (fmau) against human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) and herpes simplex virus (hsv), the 5'-deoxy, 5'-mercapto, and 5'-amino analogues of these nucleosides were prepared. 5'-deoxy-fiac and 5'-deoxy-fiau were prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of 5'-iodo-fiac and 5'-iodo-fiau to 5'-deoxy-fac and 5'-deoxy-fau, resp ... | 1987 | 3027334 |
| antiviral antibodies in the sera of homosexual men: correlation with their lifestyle and drug usage. | healthy homosexual men between the ages of 21 and 65 years, from the washington, dc (n = 162), and new york city (n = 89) areas, were studied for antibodies in the serum against cytomegalovirus (cmv), herpes simplex virus (hsv) types 1 and 2, and epstein barr virus (ebv) viral capsid antigen (vca). cmv-specific antibodies were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa), anti-hsv-1 and -2 antibodies were measured by indirect hemagglutination (iha), and antibodies to ebv vca were measure ... | 1987 | 3029318 |
| demonstration of viral thymidine kinase inhibitor and its effect on deoxynucleotide metabolism in cells infected with herpes simplex virus. | the thymidine analog 5'-ethynylthymidine was a potent inhibitor of herpes simplex virus type 1 (strain kos)-induced thymidine kinase with a ki value of 0.09 microm. 5'-ethynylthymidine was less inhibitory against herpes simplex virus type 2 (strain 333)-induced thymidine kinase with a ki of 0.38 microm and showed no inhibition against human cytosolic thymidine kinase under the conditions tested. the compound was effective against the altered thymidine kinase induced by acyclovir- and bromovinyld ... | 1987 | 3034143 |
| rapid diagnosis of herpes simplex virus infections in conventional and shell vial cell cultures using monoclonal antibodies. | one hundred specimens for herpes simplex virus (hsv) isolation were tested in parallel by conventional and by centrifugation-enhanced cell culture, followed by identification using monoclonal antibodies to hsv-1 and hsv-2. sensitivity was comparable by the two methods; conventional culture was only marginally slower and was easier to fit into the routine of a busy laboratory. it is, therefore, advocated for hsv detection in clinical specimens. | 1987 | 3034946 |
| dna sequence and genetic content of the hindiii l region in the short unique component of the herpes simplex virus type 2 genome: identification of the gene encoding glycoprotein g, and evolutionary comparisons. | the dna sequence was determined of the hindiii l fragment of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2), which is located in the short unique region of the hsv-2 genome. hindiii l was found to comprise 9629 base pairs. comparison with the previously determined corresponding sequence for herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1), and limited mrna mapping, showed that hindiii l contained six genes (termed us2 to us7) and part of another (us8). the hsv-1 and hsv-2 sequences were found to be generally colinear, ... | 1987 | 3027242 |
| regulation by recombinant interleukin-2 of protective immunity against recurrent herpes simplex virus type 2 genital infection in guinea pigs. | the goal of our study was to determine whether recombinant interleukin-2 (ril-2) could modify the recurrence pattern of chronic herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) genital infection in guinea pigs. animals that developed symptomatic acute hsv-2 infection were distributed at 14 days after viral inoculation into several treatment groups, which were similar with respect to the severity of acute disease. three ril-2 dosages administered for 4 weeks in daily subcutaneous injections were tested in thi ... | 1987 | 3035213 |
| characterization of a herpes simplex virus type 2 deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase and mapping of a gene conferring type specificity for the enzyme. | the herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2)-induced deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dutpase) was purified approximately 600 +/- 43-fold using a combination of affinity, hydrophobic, absorption, and ion-exchange chromatography techniques. the only substrate for the dutpase was dutp with a km of 3.6 +/- 1.1 microm. there was no apparent divalent cation requirement, but the hsv-2-induced dutpase was inhibited by edta (0.1 mm) and this inhibition was reversed by either co2+ (0.5 mm) or mg ... | 1987 | 3027979 |
| vaccination with recombinant herpes simplex virus glycoproteins: protection against initial and recurrent genital herpes. | the natural history of initial and subsequent recurrent herpes simplex virus (hsv) genital infection was studied in guinea pigs immunized with hsv glycoprotein vaccines before vaginal challenge with hsv-2. the vaccines used included hsv-1 glycoprotein b and hsv-1 glycoprotein d, both prepared by recombinant dna techniques, and mixtures of hsv-1 or hsv-2 glycoproteins, prepared from infected cell monolayers by lectin chromatography. immunizing guinea pigs with subunit hsv glycoprotein vaccines fa ... | 1987 | 3031173 |
| virus-specific igm and igg antibody production by b cells during herpes simplex virus type 2-induced immunosuppression as analysed by an immunospot assay. | the mechanism of herpes simplex virus (hsv)-2-induced immunosuppression was analysed by determination of the number of igm and igg antibody-secreting b cells in female balb/c mice using an immunospot assay. primary hsv-1 or -2 as well as homologous or heterologous booster infections at different times were performed. in accordance with earlier results on humoral antibody generation, in contrast to hsv-1, hsv-2 induced only very low numbers of antibody-producing b cells in dose-response experimen ... | 1987 | 3037017 |
| a synthetic peptide induces long-term protection from lethal infection with herpes simplex virus 2. | immunization against viral pathogens is generally directed toward the induction of virus neutralizing antibody (vna) and the maintenance of the potential for a second-set (igg) response. indeed, an elevated level of specific antibody is considered a reliable clinical indicator that a state of immunity exists in the host. however, in the case of herpes simplex virus (hsv), the presence of circulating vna does not necessarily correlate with protection. thus, it has been found that secondary infect ... | 1987 | 3029270 |
| effects of the epipodophyllotoxin vp-16-213 on herpes simplex virus type 2 replication. | it has been recently shown that vp-16-213, a semi-synthetic derivative of podophyllotoxin, inhibits the function of mammalian dna topoisomerase ii. in the present study, we examined the effects of vp-16-213 on the replication of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2). the compound did not inhibit the synthesis of early viral polypeptides at concentrations at which viral dna synthesis was strongly suppressed, but induced double-strand breaks in newly synthesized hsv dna. electron microscopic examina ... | 1987 | 3029314 |
| mutants defective in herpes simplex virus type 2 icp4: isolation and preliminary characterization. | vero cells were biochemically transformed with the gene encoding icp4 of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2). these cells were used as permissive hosts to isolate and propagate hsv-2 mutants defective in this gene. two mutants, designated hr259 and hr79, were isolated. neither mutant grew in nontransformed vero cells, but both grew to near wild-type levels in hsv-2 icp4-expressing cells. hr259 contains a deletion of about 0.6 kilobases which eliminates the mrna start site of the icp4 gene. hr79 ... | 1987 | 3029403 |
| purification and structural characterization of herpes simplex virus glycoprotein c. | purification of herpes simplex virus glycoprotein c (gc) in microgram amounts yielded sufficient material for an analysis of its secondary structure. purification was facilitated by using the mutant virus gc-3, which bears a point mutation that interrupts the putative hydrophobic membrane anchor sequence, causing the secretion of gc-3 protein into the cell culture medium. gc-3 protein was purified by size fractionation of concentrated culture medium from infected cells on a gel filtration column ... | 1987 | 3030409 |
| antibodies to the herpes simplex virus type-2-induced tumor-associated antigen ag-4 as markers of recurrence in cervical cancer. | this study was designed to evaluate the potential clinical value of ag-4 antibodies in patients with established cervical cancer, in terms of the assessment of prognosis before treatment, and monitoring the course of the cancer process during long-term follow-up. forty-seven patients were investigated during a median follow-up time of 5.4 years (range 3.5-6.2). during this time, 25 developed recurrent disease. serum was obtained from all patients before treatment and at regular intervals during ... | 1987 | 3037680 |
| an optimized thymidylate kinase assay, based on enzymatically synthesized 5-[125i]iododeoxyuridine monophosphate and its application to an immunological study of herpes simplex virus thymidine-thymidylate kinases. | the biological synthesis and purification of 5-[125i]iododeoxyuridine monophosphate (idump) are described. the specificity of idump as substrate in the thymidylate monophosphate kinase (tmpk) assay is demonstrated, and a 100-fold gain in sensitivity as compared to the conventional tmpk assay is shown. tmpk measurements of isozymes derived from herpes simplex virus (hsv)-infected cells, uninfected cells, and tumor biopsies were performed. the results showed a significant difference in dependence ... | 1987 | 3037945 |
| acquisition of concomitant oral and genital infection with herpes simplex virus type 2. | primary oral and genital infections caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 were diagnosed in an 18-year-old female. a history of sexual practices was critical in determining the anatomic sites of infection. restriction endonuclease analysis of viral dnas helped to identify the male sexual partner from whom the virus had been acquired. he had been infected recently by a previous sexual partner but had not yet developed lesions. clinicians should obtain a history of sexual practices from patients w ... | 1987 | 3031834 |
| nucleotide sequence of the dna polymerase gene of herpes simplex virus type 2 and comparison with the type 1 counterpart. | the complete nucleotide sequence of the dna polymerase gene of herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 2 strain 186 has been determined. the gene included a 3720-bp major open reading frame capable of encoding 1240 amino acids. the predicted primary translation product had an mr of 137,354, which was slightly larger than its hsv-1 counterpart. a comparison of the predicted functional amino acid sequences of the hsv-1 and hsv-2 dna polymerases revealed 95.5% overall amino acid homology, the value of whic ... | 1987 | 3038677 |
| virus-specific dth prevents contralateral retinitis following intracameral inoculation of hsv-2. | following inoculation of hsv-1 (kos strain) into the anterior chamber of one eye of a balb/c mouse, the virus travels to the uninoculated contralateral eye and contributes to the devastating retinal necrosis which occurs in this eye 10-12 days p.i. in parallel experiments, hsv-2 (ms strain) was inoculated uniocularly via the anterior chamber route; animals were sacrificed at intervals and their eyes removed for histopathology and virus culture. histopathological examination revealed that, in con ... | 1987 | 3030636 |
| clinical epidemiology of symptomatic primary herpetic infection in children. a study of 50 cases. | we have studied a series of 50 children with clinical primary herpetic infection during 1975-1985. our data confirm: absence of sex differences and seasonal variations, a peak age of incidence between 6 and 24 months, a prevalence of patients of lower social status, evidence of recurrent herpes labialis as the most frequent source of infection, and frequency of herpes simplex virus 1 gingivostomatitis. the relevant findings of this study were as follows: herpes simplex virus 2 was isolated in 10 ... | 1987 | 3031926 |
| genome variations in herpes simplex virus type 2 strains isolated in japan and sweden. | one-hundred and twenty-three epidemiologically unrelated strains of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) isolated in japan and sweden (68 japanese and 55 swedish isolates) were compared by analysis of their genomes using five restriction endonucleases: bamhi, kpni, ecori, hindiii and bg/ii. seven of the 93 restriction sites examined showed statistically significant variation between isolates from the two countries. however, hsv-2 isolates were less variable than the hsv-1 isolates previously anal ... | 1987 | 3039042 |
| transcriptional induction of proto-oncogene fos by hsv-2. | hsv-2 induces the transcription of c-fos gene in both human (diploid) cell strains and mouse (heteroploid) cell lines. hsv-1 is incapable of such induction. the induction of transcription is rapid and transient in both cell types. the product of transcriptional induction of c-fos in mouse cells is mainly a 4.5 kb fos mrna along with lesser amount of a 2.2 kb fos mrna, while in human cells the 4.5 kb mrna is the only detectable product. both the 4.5 kb and 2.2 kb fos mrnas are mature gene product ... | 1987 | 3032180 |
| virulence is not conserved in recombinants between herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2. | the virulence of 31 herpes simplex virus type 1 x herpes simplex virus type 2 intertypic recombinants was determined following intraperitoneal inoculation into cba mice. only eight of the recombinants killed any of the mice and of these, only one recombinant was as virulent as its type 2 parent, the other seven recombinants being intermediate between their type 1 and type 2 parental viruses in virulence. these results indicate that most heterotypic combinations are attenuated independently of th ... | 1987 | 3033143 |
| macromolecular synthesis at the early stage of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) latency in a human neuroblastoma cell line imr-32: repression of late viral polypeptide synthesis and accumulation of cellular heat-shock proteins. | we have shown that a latent infection of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) can be established in a human neuroblastoma cell line imr-32 if the infected cells are cultured at 40 degrees c. in the present study, viral polypeptides and cellular heat-shock proteins which were synthesized in hsv-2 infected imr-32 cells cultured at 40 degrees c were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. it was found that the synthesis of late viral polypeptide icp 5 was markedly reduced in the infected cel ... | 1987 | 3039946 |
