The linear cationic amphiphilic EB peptide, derived from the FGF4 signal sequence, was previously shown to be virucidal and to block herpes simplex type I (HSV-1) entry (H. Bultmann, J. S. Busse, and C. R. Brandt, J. Virol. 75:2634-2645, 2001). Here we show that cells treated with EB
Targeting viral vectors to appropriate cell types so that normal cells are not adversely affected is an important goal for gene therapy. Previously, we described a novel approach to viral gene therapy using a conditional, replication-competent herpes simplex virus (HSV), where replication and
Groups of 5-week-old BALB/c mice were immunized intraperitoneally with approximately 10 micrograms of purified alum-precipitated glycoprotein gB or gD of either herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2) origin. Control mice received injections of alum-precipitated 1% bovine serum albumin
A 59-year-old female patient with atypical chronic herpes simplex encephalitis was reported. Initial symptom was persistent myoclonus involving the trunk and limb muscles, and later lateral gaze palsy to the left side, cerebellar ataxia, consciousness disturbance and other brainstem symptoms
Alterations of cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) proteins and cells and blood-brain barrier impairment were determined in 4 patients with proven and 2 patients with presumptive herpes simplex virus encephalitis ( HSVE ) using simultaneous nephelometric measurements of CSF and serum albumin and
Mice were immunized with synthetic peptides covering the first 56 amino acids of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein D (gD) and a fusion protein, produced in Escherichia coli, containing the first 55 amino acid residues of gD. It was found that mice immunized with peptides composed of
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) glycoprotein D (gD) is essential for virus entry into cells, is modified with mannose-6-phosphate (M-6-P), and binds to both the 275-kDa M-6-P receptor (MPR) and the 46-kDa MPR (C. R. Brunetti, R. L. Burke, S. Kornfeld, W. Gregory, K. S. Dingwell, F. Masiarz, and D. C.
We have investigated the effect of Flt-3 ligand (Flt-3L) on the resistance to herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) infection in BALB/c mice which are normally highly susceptible to challenge with this virus. We have confirmed data by others that in vivo treatment with Flt-3L causes an increase in
Chemokines (chemoattractant cytokines) attract and activate specific leukocyte subsets. With regard to their expression by brain parenchymal cells, they may represent the key molecules that control leukocyte entry into the subarachnoid space. In order to evaluate the contribution of chemokines in
The protein kinase associated with purified herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 virions partitioned with the capsid-tegument structures and was not solubilized by non-ionic detergents and low, non-inhibitory concentrations of urea. The enzyme required Mg2+ or Mn2+ and utilized ATP or GTP. The activity was
A truncated herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 glycoprotein D (t-gD) gene was fused to the human interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene (t-gD-IL-2 gene) and introduced into mouse myeloma Sp2/0 cells. The gene product, t-gD-IL-2, secreted from the cells was immunoprecipitated with five monoclonal antibodies
Nucleotide sequence and mRNA localization studies have allowed the prediction of the amino acid sequence of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein C (gC). We immunized a rabbit with a conjugate of bovine serum albumin and a synthetic peptide having the same sequence as that deduced for
The immuno-modulating properties of different adjuvant systems on the murine humoral and cellular immune response to a synthetic peptide comprising amino acid residues 9-21 of glycoprotein D of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) were investigated. For immunization, the peptide was conjugated to
