Localization of epitopes of herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein D

Localization of epitopes of herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein D.

We previously defined eight groups of monoclonal antibodies which react with distinct epitopes of herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D (gD). One of these, group VII antibody, was shown to react with a type-common continuous epitope within residues 11 to 19 of the mature glycoprotein (residues 36 to 44 of the predicted sequence of gD). In the current investigation, we have localized the sites of ...

Immunogenicity and Efficacy of Baculovirus Derived Glycoprotein D of Herpes Simplex Virus Type-I in Mice

Localization of a type-specific antigenic site on herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein D.

A herpes simplex virus type 1 strain isolated from a recurrent lesion of the nose reacted with monoclonal antibodies recognizing a type 2-specific site on glycoprotein D but not with monoclonal antibodies recognizing other type 2-specific sites. DNA sequence analysis of the glycoprotein D gene of the isolate revealed a single nucleotide alteration which changed the codon for asparagine to one e...

Prevalence of Herpes Simplex Virus type-1, 2 and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in Eye Infection

Abstract Background and Aims: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common cause of corneal disease and is the leading infectious cause of corneal blindness among developed nations. This study is aimed to provide an estimation of the incidence of Herpes Simplex Virustype-1, 2(HSV1, 2) and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in tears and swab from eye infection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in eye ...
