Isolation and characterization of HSV-1 DNA from trigeminal ganglion neurons during suppressed infection in vitro.

چکیده
The current study analyzed the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) genome during suppressed and reactivated infection in vitro. Utilization of 3H-labeled HSV1 provided a highly specific probe for intracellular localization, isolation, and characterization of the HSV genome after infection of rabbit trigeminal ganglion neurons. Restriction enzyme analysis of viral DNA extracted during both suppressed and reactivated infection matched that of the HSV1 control DNA. Viral DNAs extracted from both cellular and nuclear fractions of host cells exhibited identical patterns. No detectable alterations in terminal fragments were observed, which suggests that the HSV1 genome is both linear and nonintegrated during suppressed infection in this system.

Interferon Alpha Induces Establishment of Alphaherpesvirus Latency in Sensory Neurons In Vitro
BACKGROUND Several alphaherpesviruses, including herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and pseudorabies virus (PRV), establish lifelong latency in neurons of the trigeminal ganglion (TG). Although it is thought that efficient establishment of alphaherpesvirus latency is based on a subtle interplay between virus, neurons and the immune system, it is not clear which immune components are of major import...
متن کاملLocalization of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 DNA in Latently Infected BALB/c Mice Neurons Using in situ Polymerase Chain Reaction
Background: Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) establishes a lifelong latent infection in neurons following primary infection. The existence of latent HSV-1 DNA in the trigeminal ganglia of infected BALB/c mice was examined using a direct in situ PCR technique, based on Digoxigenin-11-dUTP detection system with anti-digoxigenin-peroxidase and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) substrate. Methods: Eig...
متن کاملLAT Region Factors Mediating Differential Neuronal Tropism of HSV-1 and HSV-2 Do Not Act in Trans
After HSV infection, some trigeminal ganglion neurons support productive cycle gene expression, while in other neurons the virus establishes a latent infection. We previously demonstrated that HSV-1 and HSV-2 preferentially establish latent infection in A5+ and KH10+ sensory neurons, respectively, and that exchanging the latency-associated transcript (LAT) between HSV-1 and HSV-2 also exchanges...
متن کاملA5-positive primary sensory neurons are nonpermissive for productive infection with herpes simplex virus 1 in vitro.
Herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) establish latency and express the latency-associated transcript (LAT) preferentially in different murine sensory neuron populations, with most HSV-1 LAT expression in A5(+) neurons and most HSV-2 LAT expression in KH10(+) neurons. To study the mechanisms regulating the establishment of HSV latency in specific subtypes of neurons, cultured dissoci...
متن کاملCharacterization of herpes simplex virus type 2 transcription during latent infection of mouse trigeminal ganglia.
Using a cornea trigeminal ganglion model, we have investigated transcription by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) during latency in mice. Latency was verified 2 months postinoculation by reactivation of HSV-2 after explant cocultivation of trigeminal ganglia from the majority of mice (83%). Transcription during latent HSV-2 infection was limited to the repeat regions of the viral genome as de...
