CTL are inactivated by herpes simplex virus-infected cells expressing a viral protein kinase.

چکیده
Numerous cell-to-cell signals tightly regulate CTL function. Human fibroblasts infected with HSV type 1 or 2 can generate such a signal and inactivate human CTL. Inactivated CTL lose their ability to release cytotoxic granules and synthesize cytokines when triggered through the TCR. Inactivation requires cell-to-cell contact between CTL and HSV-infected cells. However, inactivated CTL are not infected with HSV. The inactivation of CTL is sustainable, as CTL function remains impaired when the CTL are removed from the HSV-infected cells. IL-2 treatment does not alter inactivation, and the inactivated phenotype is not transferable between CTL, distinguishing this phenotype from traditional anergy and T regulatory cell models. CTL inactivated by HSV-infected cells are not apoptotic, and the inactivated state can be overcome by phorbol ester stimulation, suggesting that inactivated CTL are viable and that the signaling block is specific to the TCR. HSV-infected cells require the expression of U(S)3, a viral protein kinase, to transmit the inactivating signal. Elucidation of the molecular nature of this signaling pathway may allow targeted manipulation of CTL function.

PCR detection of thymidine kinase gen of latent herpes simplex Virus type 1 in mice trigeminal ganglia
Herpes simplex virus type 1 establishes a latent infection in the peripheral nervous system following primary infection. During latent infection, virus genome exhibit limited transcription, with the HSV LATs consistently detected in latency infected ganaglia. Following ocular infection viral latency develops in the trigeminal ganglia. In this study PCR has been used for detection of HSV-1 nuc...
متن کاملThe Effects and Pharmacokinetics of Acyclovir in Neonates
Acyclovir (9-[2-hydroxyethoxymethyl] guanine) is an acyclic nucleoside analogue of guanosine which is a potent and selective antiviral agent. Acycloviris converted to the monophosphate by thymidine kinase the virus-specific form of this enzyme and is subsequently converted to the triphosphate by the host cell kinase. Acyclovir triphosphate inhibits viral DNA-polymerase terminating the chain...
متن کاملEffects of Sodium Valproate on the Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1: An in Vitro Study
Background: Sodium valproate, an anticonvulsant drug, is reported to stimulate Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 and Human cytomegalovirus replication. Since epileptic patients undergoing sodium valproate therapy may suffer from various virus infections, the effect of this drug on replication of viruses especially those affecting neuronal tissues such as Herpes simplex virus type 1 is worthy ...
متن کاملEffects of Morphine on Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1&2
Background and Aims: Several drugs are being used in treatment of HSV infection in human but still introducing an effective safe drug is desirable. Methods: We investigated the inhibitory effect of morphine on replication of HSV in vitro. Results: The results indicated that a concentration of up to 200 ug/ml morphine had a limited effect on Vero cell viability. At this concentration the growt...
