The Chemokine CCL5 Is Essential for Leukocyte Recruitment in a Model of Severe Herpes simplex Encephalitis

TL;DR: CCL5, a chemokine that binds to CCR1 and CCR5, is essential for leukocyte adhesion during HSV‐1 encephalitis, however, blocking of C CR1 andCCR5 did not affect HSV-1 replication, suggesting that other immune mechanisms are involved in the process of infection control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic cells, macrophages, NK and CD8 + T lymphocytes play pivotal roles in controlling HSV-1 in the trigeminal ganglia by producing IL1-beta, iNOS and granzyme B

TL;DR: The data provide strong evidence that the responses mediated by DCs, Mo/Mϕ, NK and CD8+ T lymphocytes through IL-1β, iNOS and granzyme B production, respectively, together with the production of type I IFN early in the infection, are crucial to host defense against HSV-1.
