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...

Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) is usually the cause of oral infection. This infection oftenprecedes development this chronic anemia, and it reasonable that blood in circulation through virusinfectedtissue becomes contaminated with virus particles on red cell surface. These virus-contaminated redblood cells may stimulate reticuloendothelial system to produce antibodies destroy andlead anemi...

virus with 2 subtypes: herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). Although each is a distinct virus, they share some antigenic components. HSV causes vesicular and ulcerative lesions in healthy individuals and may cause severe systemic disease in neonates and immunosuppressed hosts. Infection with HSV-1 commonly causes oropharyngeal infection, and transmission is primari...

objective(s) herpes simplex viruses (hsvs) have widespread and ubiquitous prevalence in the human population and they have received a great deal of attention due to the range of diseases, they caused as a result of an infection. it seems that the fast and reliable diagnostic methods are needed for detecting the herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv1) antibodies especially in patients with hsv enceph...

The antigenic cross-reactive characteristics of herpes B virus and herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2 are responsible for false-positive diagnoses by serological assays in humans and macaques. In the present study, we developed a fluorometric indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with recombinant herpes B virus glycoprotein D (gD) and HSV-1 and HSV-2 gG (gG-1 and g...

The characteristic site-specific reactivation phenotypes of HSV-1 and HSV-2 depend upon the latency-associated transcript region. Increasing proportion of herpes simplex virus type 1 as a cause of genital herpes infection in college students. episodes of genital herpes in a Swedish STD population: a study of epidemiology and transmission by the use of herpes simplex virus (HSV) typing and speci...

sexual transmission an important pattern for herpes simplex type 2 virus seroconversion in the Spanish general population? J Med Virol 1999;59:194–7. 3 Fleming DT, McQuillan GM, Johnson RE, et al. Herpes simplex virus type 2 in the United States, 1976 to 1994. N Engl J Med 1997;337: 1105–11. 4 Pasquini P, Mele A, Franco E, et al. Prevalence of herpes simplex virus type 2 antibodies in selected ...

Herpes are a group of similar viruses that responsible for number infecting diseases, the most important which herpes simplex, zoster and pseudopox. Resistance to traditional antiviral medications is becoming increasingly common, making treatment such infections even more difficult. For example, usage nucleoside analogues like acyclovir target DNA-polymerase virus on regular long-term basis pro...

Background: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis is the most common cause of sporadic encephalitis, with significant morbidity and mortality that are effectively reduced by antiviral treatment. Herpes simplex infection in pregnant women rarely results in encephalitis. The most common symptoms of a pregnant woman with herpes simplex infection are colds and skin vesicles. Herpetic encephalitis...

Fattiviracin A1, showed potent antiviral activities against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), influenza A virus and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). It showed no cytotoxicity against Vero cells. Fattiviracin A1 exhibited no significant antibacterial or antifungal activities. Treatment of HSV-1 with fattiviracin A1 decreased its infectivity to Vero ce...
