A Recombinant Glycoprotein Vaccine for Herpes Simplex Type 2: Safety and Efficacy

TL;DR: The initial phase I and II clinical trials to evaluate an HSV-2 subunit vaccine that contained derivatives of gB2 and gD2 in the MF59 adjuvant emulsion and was administered to persons seronegative for HSV or seropositive only forHSV-1 antibodies were evaluated.
Journal Article

Human herpes simplex virus (HSV)-specific CD8+ CTL clones recognize HSV-2-infected fibroblasts after treatment with IFN-gamma or when virion host shutoff functions are disabled.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the combined effects of the HSV-2 vhs and ICP47 gene products are to block Ag presentation by class I MHC, but this effect can be transiently counteracted by IFN-gamma providing an early role for CD8+ CTL in the cellular immune response to HSv-2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of interleukin-2 signaling: mediation of different outcomes by a single receptor and transduction pathway.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the pleiotrophic effects of IL-2 are determined by different translations of the signal in the nucleus, which does not involve any known second messenger system and that can be blocked by a second T cell lymphokine, interleukin 4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human CD8+ herpes simplex virus-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte clones recognize diverse virion protein antigens.

TL;DR: The diversity of the CD8+ response from a single individual indicated that several different antigens are recognized when presented in the context of a variety of class I HLA alleles, a pattern that markedly differs from that described for another human herpesvirus, cytomegalovirus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Herpes simplex virus infection of human fibroblasts and keratinocytes inhibits recognition by cloned CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

TL;DR: Results suggest that HSV-induced blockade of antigen presentation by cutaneous cells to CD8+ CTL may be a mechanism by which HSV limits or evades the immune response of the host.
