Replication-Competent Controlled Herpes Simplex Virus.
UNLABELLED We present the development and characterization of a replication-competent controlled herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). Replication-essential ICP4 and ICP8 genes of HSV-1 wild-type strain 17syn+ were brought under the control of a dually responsive gene switch. The gene switch comprises (i) a transactivator that is activated by a narrow class of antiprogestins, including mifepristone a...
متن کاملHerpes simplex virus DNA replication.
The Herpesviridae comprise a large class of animal viruses of considerable public health importance. Of the Herpesviridae, replication of herpes simplex virustype-1 (HSV-1) has been the most extensively studied. The linear 152-kbp HSV-1 genome contains three origins of DNA replication and approximately 75 open-reading frames. Of these frames, seven encode proteins that are required for originsp...
متن کاملResveratrol inhibition of herpes simplex virus replication.
Resveratrol, a phytoalexin, was found to inhibit herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) replication in a dose-dependent, reversible manner. The observed reduction in virus yield was not caused by the direct inactivation of HSV by resveratrol nor inhibition of virus attachment to the cell. The chemical did, however, target an early event in the virus replication cycle since it was ...
متن کاملA replication-competent, neuronal spread-defective, live attenuated herpes simplex virus type 1 vaccine.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) produces oral lesions, encephalitis, keratitis, and severe infections in the immunocompromised host. HSV-1 is almost as common as HSV-2 in causing first episodes of genital herpes, a disease that is associated with an increased risk of human immunodeficiency virus acquisition and transmission. No approved vaccines are currently available to protect against HS...
متن کاملAttenuated, replication-competent herpes simplex virus type 1 mutant G207: safety evaluation in mice.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutants that are attenuated for neurovirulence are being used for the treatment of cancer. We have examined the safety of G207, a multimutated replication-competent HSV-1 vector, in mice. BALB/c mice inoculated intracerebrally or intracerebroventricularly with 10(7) PFU of G207 survived for over 20 weeks with no apparent symptoms of disease. In contrast, over...
