Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-specific human T-cell clones recognize HSV glycoprotein D expressed by a recombinant vaccinia virus.

چکیده
Human cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) clones that lyse autologous cells infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 or 2 were generated by stimulating lymphocytes with a recombinant vaccinia virus (recombinant vaccinia-gD-1 virus) that expresses HSV type 1 glycoprotein D (gD-1). Furthermore, CTL clones generated with HSV type 1 or with cloned gD-1 lysed autologous cells infected with the recombinant vaccinia-gD-1 virus. Our findings thus showed that gD serves as a target antigen for human CTLs and that a recombinant vaccinia-gD virus activates HSV-specific human CTL.

Expression of the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Glycoprotein D in Baculovirus Expression System and Evaluation of Its Immunogenicity in Guinea Pigs
Background: Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is highly prevalent and major cause of genital herpes in humans. The life-long nature of infection and the increasing prevalence of genital herpes imply that vaccination is the best strategy for controlling the spread of infection and limiting HSV disease. HSV glycoprotein D (gD) is one of the most important viral immunogen which has an essential ...

To construct of an eukaryotic expression vector encoding herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) glycoprotein D (gD2), an Iranian isolate of HSV-2 was propagated in HeLa cell line and its DNA was extracted and used as template in polymerase chain reactions (PCR), to amplify gD2 gene. Primers were designed and the restriction enzyme sites for EcoRI and XhoI were considered at their 5′ ends respectiv...

The interaction of Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) with human fetal foreskin fibroblast (HFFF) cell was studied using a recent isolate of HSV-1 which was propagated in Hep-2 cells. HFFF cells were challenged with HSV-1 with a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1 virus/cell for 24 hours. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that HSV-1 challenged HFFF cells expressed increased levels of α2β1...

We have evaluated the potential of conferring protective immunity to herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) by selectively inducing an HSV-specific CD8(+) cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response directed against a single major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted CTL recognition epitope. We generated a recombinant vaccinia virus (rVV-ES-gB498-505) which expresses the H-2Kb-restricted, HSV-1...
