Abstract
From the herpes simplex virus specified glycoprotein C two fractions were isolated with affinity either for Helix pomatia lectin (HPA) or soybean lectin (SBA). The data indicated that HPA and SBA, despite their mutual main specificity for N-acetylgalactosamine, recognize structurally different gC populations.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus type 2 proteins extracted from infected cells and analysed by crossed immunoelectrophoresis identified a nonglycosylated antigen named Ag-5. The antigen contained two proteins when extracted from the agarose gel and the molecular weights were 128K and 91K. Both proteins are located in the nucleus of the infected cells and the 128K is identical to ICP-8. The 91K protein is based on the reactivity with monoclonal antibodies most likely the alkaline exonuclease mapped by Preston and Cordingly (25). Our data show that although the proteins ICP-8 and 91K coprecipitate they differ in both peptide composition and in immunological specificity.

Abstract
Virus clones which express glycoprotein gC (gC+) were obtained from two persistently infected (p.i.) MDBK cell lines which had been independently established by infection with HSV-1(MP)10311, a gC- syncytial (syn) variant of herpes simplex virus type 1 strain MP [HSV-1(MP)]. The gC+ revertants were syn in MDBK, HEp-2, and Vero cell lines and in primary human fibroblasts; this offers further evidence that glycoprotein gC does not inhibit cell fusion. The gC+ revertants represented from 70 to 100 percent of the virions present in the virus populations examined, thus suggesting a possible selective advantage of the gC+ revertants in this system of persistent infection.

Abstract
To investigate the protective ability of monoclonal antibodies (MCAs) to viral glycoprotein in herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, athymic nude mice were inoculated intracutaneously with HSV type-1 (HSV-1) in the midflank. Three hours after inoculation, one group of mice was passively immunized with one of a series of MCAs to glycoprotein gB of HSV-1, and a control group of mice was given phosphate buffered saline alone. The control mice died within 16 days after infection, whereas the mice passively immunized with any of the MCA showed suppressed development of skin lesions. Three of six mice given MCA failed to develop any visible lesions and no HSV could be isolated from the lumbar dorsal root ganglia of these mice 60 days after the challenge. BALB/c mice were also protected from infection with HSV type 2 by passive immunization with MCA to HSV-1 gB.

Abstract
Cell-surface glycoproteins of mock-infected and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-infected BHK-21 and HEp-2 cells were radiolabeled by incubation with galactose oxidase followed by reduction with NaB3H4. The incorporation of radiolabel into glycoconjugates in both BHK-21 and HEp-2 cells was increased several fold following infection with HSV, showing an increase in surface-exposed Gal residues in the infected cells. This was further confirmed by an increase in binding of cell-surface-labeled glycoproteins gC and gB from HSV-infected BHK-21 cells to Ricinus communis agglutinin I, which is specific for beta-D-Gal residues. Prior treatment of cells with Clostridium perfringens neuraminidase enhanced the surface radiolabeling by the galactose oxidase/NaB3H4 method: HEp-2 cells exhibited over sixfold enhancement in labeling, while BHK-21 cells showed only a slight increase. HSV glycoprotein gC was the predominant cell-surface glycoprotein radiolabeled by the galactose oxidase/NaB3H4 method in virus-infected BHK-21 cells. The glycoprotein gC was purified by immunoaffinity column chromatography on monoclonal anti-gC-antibody-Sepharose. The radiolabel in the glycopeptides of gC was resistant to beta elimination, showing that it was associated only with Asn-linked oligosaccharides. A serial lectin affinity chromatography of glycopeptides on columns of concanavalin A-Sepharose, lentil (Lens culinaris) lectin-Sepharose, and Ricin I-agarose allowed the assignment of minimal oligosaccharide structures bearing terminal Gal residues in gC.

Abstract
We previously defined eight groups of monoclonal antibodies which react with distinct epitopes of herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D (gD). One of these, group VII antibody, was shown to react with a type-common continuous epitope within residues 11 to 19 of the mature glycoprotein (residues 36 to 44 of the predicted sequence of gD). In the current investigation, we have localized the sites of binding of two additional antibody groups which recognize continuous epitopes of gD. The use of truncated forms of gD as well as computer predictions of secondary structure and hydrophilicity were instrumental in locating these epitopes and choosing synthetic peptides to mimic their reactivity. Group II antibodies, which are type common, react with an epitope within residues 268 to 287 of the mature glycoprotein (residues 293 to 312 of the predicted sequence). Group V antibodies, which are gD-1 specific, react with an epitope within residues 340 to 356 of the mature protein (residues 365 to 381 of the predicted sequence). Four additional groups of monoclonal antibodies appear to react with discontinuous epitopes of gD-1, since the reactivity of these antibodies was lost when the glycoprotein was denatured by reduction and alkylation. Truncated forms of gD were used to localize these four epitopes to the first 260 amino acids of the mature protein. Competition experiments were used to assess the relative positions of binding of various pairs of monoclonal antibodies. In several cases, when one antibody was bound, there was no interference with the binding of an antibody from another group, indicating that the epitopes were distinct. However, in other cases, there was competition, indicating that these epitopes might share some common amino acids.

Abstract
We have determined the complete DNA sequence of the short unique region in the genome of herpes simplex virus type 1, strain 17, and have interpreted it in terms of messenger RNAs and encoded proteins. The sequence contains variable regions whose length differs between DNA clones. The clones used for most of the analysis gave a short unique length of 12,979 base-pairs. We consider that this region contains 12 genes, which are expressed by mRNAs which have separate promoters, but may share 3'-termination sites, so that all but two mRNAs belong to one of four 3'-coterminal "families": 79% of the sequence is considered to be polypeptide coding. One pair of genes has an extensive out-of-frame overlap of coding sequences. The proteins encoded in the short unique region include two immediate-early species, two virion surface glycoproteins, and a DNA-binding species. Six of the genes have little or no previous characterization. From the nature of the amino acid sequences predicted for their encoded proteins, we deduce that several of these proteins may be membrane-associated.

Abstract
A plasmid with an insert that encodes the glycoprotein B(gB) gene of Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) has been isolated. DNA sequences coding for a portion of the HSV-2 gB peptide were cloned into a bacterial lacZ alpha expression vector and used to transform Escherichia coli. Upon induction of lacZpo-promoted transcription, some of the bacteria became filamentous and produced inclusion bodies containing a large amount of a 65-kDal peptide that was shown to be precipitated by broad-spectrum antibodies to HSV-2 and HSV-1. The HSV-2 insert of one of these clones specifies amino acid residues corresponding to 135 through 629 of the gB of HSV-1 [Bzik et al., Virology 133 (1984) 301-314].

Abstract
Epitopes of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) strain KOS glycoprotein gC were identified by using a panel of gC-specific, virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies and a series of antigenic variants selected for resistance to neutralization with individual members of the antibody panel. Variants that were resistant to neutralization and expressed an antigenically altered form of gC were designated monoclonal antibody-resistant (mar) mutants. mar mutants were isolated at frequencies of 10(-3) to 10(-5), depending on the antibody used for selection. The epitopes on gC were operationally grouped into antigenic sites by evaluating the patterns of neutralization observed when a panel of 22 antibodies was tested against 22 mar mutants. A minimum of nine epitopes was identified by this process. Three epitopes were assigned to one antigenic site (I), and six were clustered in a second complex site (II) composed of three distinct subsites, IIa, IIb, and IIc. The two antigenic sites were shown to reside in physically distinct domains of the glycoprotein, by radioimmunoprecipitation of truncated forms of gC. These polypeptides lacked portions of the carboxy terminus and ranged in size from approximately one-half that of the wild-type molecule to nearly full size. Antibodies recognizing epitopes in site II immunoprecipitated the entire series of truncated polypeptides and thereby demonstrated that site II resided in the N-terminal half of gC. Antibodies reactive with site I, however, did not immunoprecipitate fragments smaller than at least two-thirds the size of the wild-type polypeptide, suggesting that site I was located in the C-terminal portion. Sites I and II were also shown to be spatially separate on the gC polypeptide by competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with monoclonal antibodies representative of different site I and site II epitopes.

Abstract
In this paper we report the nucleotide sequence and predicted amino acid sequence of glycoprotein B of herpes simplex virus 1 strain F and the amino acid substitutions in the domains of the glycoprotein B gene of three mutants selected for resistance to monoclonal antibody H126-5 or H233 but not to both. Analyses of the amino acid sequence with respect to hydropathicity and secondary structure yielded a two-dimensional model of the protein. The model predicts an N-terminal, 29-amino-acid cleavable signal sequence, a 696-amino-acid hydrophilic surface domain containing six potential sites for N-linked glycosylation, a 69-amino-acid hydrophobic domain containing three segments traversing the membrane, and a charged 109-amino-acid domain projecting into the cytoplasm and previously shown to marker rescue glycoprotein B syn mutations. The nucleotide sequence of the mutant glycoprotein B DNA fragments previously shown to marker transfer or rescue the mutations revealed that the amino acid substitutions cluster in the hydrophilic surface domain between amino acids 273 and 305. Analyses of the secondary structure of these regions, coupled with the experimentally derived observation that the H126-5- and H233-antibody cognitive sites do not overlap, indicate the approximate locations of the epitopes of these neutralizing, surface-reacting, and immune-precipitating monoclonal antibodies. The predicted perturbations in the secondary structure introduced by the amino acid substitutions correlate with the extent of loss of reactivity with monoclonal antibodies in various immunoassays.

Abstract
The analysis of 23 clinical isolates of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) showed that 15 of 15 isolates that had undergone a few passages in tissue culture (fresh isolates) and two of eight isolates that had never been passaged (new isolates) were composed of a mixed population with respect to plaque morphology in Vero cells. Cloning and characterization of 10 large plaque viruses (L variants) and nine small plaque viruses (S variants), obtained from seven different isolates, showed the following. BamHI DNA restriction patterns of the L and the S variants from a single isolate differed only with respect to the electrophoretic mobility of the fragments that contain reiteration of specific sequences; they did not differ regarding the presence or the absence of restriction endonuclease cleavage sites. The L and S variants differed with respect to the electrophoretic profiles of infected cell glycoproteins, thermosensitivity of growth and plaquing efficiency at 39 degrees C, and, at least in the case of the two couples of variants that we tested, pathogenicity for the mouse. The hypothesis that the L variants might arise from the S variant during in vivo replication is discussed.

Abstract
A biochemical characterization of peptides from herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein gC was carried out. We utilized simple micromethods, based on immunological isolation of biosynthetically radiolabeled gC, to obtain gC in pure form for biochemical study. CNBr fragments of gC were prepared, isolated, and characterized. These CNBr fragments were resolved into six peaks by chromatography on Sephacryl S-200 in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride. Only three of the CNBr fragments contained carbohydrate side chains, as judged from the incorporation of [14C]glucosamine. Radiochemical microsequence analyses were carried out on the gC molecule and on each of the CNBr fragments of gC. A comparison of this amino acid sequence data with the amino acid sequence predicted from the DNA sequence of the gC gene showed that the first 25 residues of the predicted sequence are not present in the gC molecule isolated from infected cells and allowed alignment of the CNBr fragments in the gC molecule. Glycoprotein gC was also examined from three gC mutants, synLD70, gC-8, and gC-49. These mutants lack an immunoreactive envelope form of gC but produce a secreted, truncated gC gene product. Glycoprotein gC from cells infected with any of these gC- mutants was shown to have lost more than one CNBr fragment present in the wild-type gC molecule. The missing fragments included the one containing the putative transmembrane anchor sequence. Glycoprotein gC from the gC-8 mutant was also shown, by tryptic peptide map analysis, to have lost more than five major arginine-labeled tryptic peptides arginine-labeled tryptic peptides present in the wild-type gC molecule and to have gained a lysine-labeled tryptic peptide not present in wild-type gC.

Abstract
The structural proteins of herpesvirus sylvilagus, a lymphotropic gamma herpesvirus, were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoreses. Modification of the proteins by glycosylation and phosphorylation was shown by the incorporation of [14C]glucosamine or 32Pi into material which comigrated with [35S]methionine-labeled proteins. One-dimensional gel electrophoresis resolved four major glycoproteins and four major phosphoproteins. By two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, 9 glycoproteins and 13 phosphoproteins were identified. Four proteins incorporated all three labels, indicating that these structural proteins may be both glycosylated and phosphorylated.

Abstract
DNA fragments encoding structural information of the Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein C (gC) gene were cloned into pUC plasmids [Vieira and Messing, Gene 19 (1982) 259-268]. None of the hybrid plasmids were able to direct the synthesis of significant amounts of gC related peptides. Several of the plasmid-bearing strains, however, exhibited inhibition characteristics which can be correlated with the presence on the plasmid of specific gC gene sequences. After insertion of gC DNA fragments into expression vector pMF2 between phage lambda repressor gene cI and lacZ, significant amounts of cI::gC::beta-galactosidase fusion proteins are synthesized. These tripartite fusion proteins are immunologically reactive with anti-HSV-1 antisera. The expression system based on pMF2 can be generally used to identify and express foreign antigens in Escherichia coli.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies were used to study neutralizing determinants on polypeptides of bovine herpesvirus 1. Two of three monoclonal antibodies which recognized nonoverlapping epitopes on a glycoprotein of 82,000 daltons were found to neutralize. A second group of monoclonal antibodies that individually precipitated five viral glycopolypeptides ranging in size from 102,000 to 55,000 daltons also neutralized. Two monoclonal antibodies which were the most efficient in neutralization recognized a non-glycosylated protein of 115,000 daltons which was the major polypeptide on the virus. A fourth group of monoclonal antibodies precipitated a non-glycosylated polypeptide of 91,000 daltons and several smaller polypeptides, but these antibodies demonstrated only limited neutralizing activity.

Abstract
A virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibody specific for glycoprotein C (gC) of herpes simplex virus type 1 strain KOS was used to select a number of neutralization-resistant mutants. A total of 103 of these mutants also were resistant to neutralization by a pool of gC-specific antibodies and thus were operationally defined as gC-. Analysis of mutant-infected cell mRNA showed that a 2.7-kilobase mRNA, comparable in size to the wild-type gC mRNA, was produced by nearly all mutants. However, six mutants, gC-5, gC-13, gC-21, gC-39, gC-46, and gC-98, did not produce the normal-size gC mRNA but rather synthesized a novel 1.1-kilobase RNA species. These mutants had deletions of 1.6 kilobases in the coding sequence of the gC structural gene, which explains their gC- phenotype. Despite the production of an apparently normal mRNA by the remaining 97 mutants, only 7 mutants produced a detectable gC polypeptide. In contrast to wild-type gC, which is a membrane-bound glycoprotein with an apparent molecular weight of 130,000 (130K), five of these mutants quantitatively secreted proteins of lower molecular weight into the culture medium. These were synLD70 (101K), gC-8 (109K), gC-49 (112K), gC-53 (108K), and gC-85 (106K). The mutant gC-3 secreted a protein that was indistinguishable in molecular weight from wild-type KOS gC. Another mutant, gC-44, produced a gC protein which also was indistinguishable from wild-type gC by molecular weight and which remained cell associated. Pulse-labeling of infected cells in the presence and absence of the glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin demonstrated that these proteins were glycosylated and provided estimates of the molecular weights of the nonglycosylated primary translation products. The smallest of these proteins was produced by synLD70 and was 48K, about two-thirds the size of the wild-type polypeptide precursor (73K). Physical mapping of the mutations in synLD70 and gC-8 by marker rescue placed these mutations in the middle third of the gC coding sequence. Mapping of the mutations in other gC- mutants, including two in which no protein product was detected, also placed these mutations within or very close to the gC gene. The biochemical and genetic data available on mutants secreting gC gene products suggest that secretion is due to the lack of a functional transmembrane anchor sequence on these mutant glycoproteins.

Abstract
Incubation of herpes simplex virus type 1-infected Vero and HEp-2 cells at a reduced temperature (34 degrees C) enhanced the detection of the nonglycosylated precursors (pgB97 and pgC75) to the gB and gC glycoproteins in the cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions. Relative to the fully glycosylated and high-mannose forms detected, the nonglycosylated precursors were the predominant components associated with the nuclear fraction of infected cells. Furthermore, addition of protease inhibitors to the fractionation buffers did not affect the distribution or abundance of the nonglycosylated precursors, suggesting that the presence of pgB97 and pgC75 was not the result of proteolysis. When infected Vero or HEp-2 cells were harvested at various times postinfection, the nonglycosylated precursors were detected after the initial appearance of the high mannose components (pgB110 and pgC105). In Vero cells, pgB97 and pgC75 were detected simultaneously at 8 h postinfection, whereas detection was not apparent in HEp-2 cells until 20 h postinfection. Conditions which favored detection of appreciable amounts of nonglycosylated precursors provided an unique approach to probe possible post-translational modifications in the absence of inhibitors of glycosylation. In nuclear fractions isolated from cycloheximide-treated HEp-2 or Vero cells, numerous discrete gC-immunoreactive bands migrating with decreased electrophoretic mobility relative to the nonglycosylated precursor pgC75 were observed. This series of one to four additional bands was eliminated by digestion with endoglycosidase H, and the appearance of these bands was blocked by the addition of tunicamycin. Collectively, the data suggest that high-mannose core oligosaccharides may be added to the nonglycosylated precursor of the gC glycoprotein of herpes simplex virus type 1 in a post-translational fashion.

Abstract
Treatment of HSV-infected BHK-21 cells with 5-10 mM of beta-hydroxynorvaline (Hnv), an analog of threonine which blocked attachment of oligosaccharides at the Asn-X-Thr sites, markedly inhibited the synthesis of all viral glycoproteins as well as the major capsid protein. However, the synthesis of host-specific dolichol-linked oligosaccharides was not significantly affected by Hnv. Treatment of cells with 10 mM reduced the yield of virus greater than 95% and completely blocked endogenous fusion. Inhibition of Hnv could be reversed by simultaneous addition of threonine to the culture medium. It is likely that the incorporation of Hnv into HSV polypeptides at Asn-X-Thr (in place of Thr) sites blocked transfer of N-linked oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Immature and mature forms of glycoprotein gC were purified by immunoadsorbent from herpes simplex virus type 1-infected BHK cells labeled with [3H]mannose for a 20-min pulse or for 11 h followed by a 3-h chase. The nature of N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharides carried by the immature form, pgC (molecular weight = 92,000), and the mature gC (molecular weight = 120,000) has been investigated. All pronase-digested glycopeptides of pgC were susceptible to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H treatment; thus they have a high-mannose structure. Using thin-layer chromatography to separate endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H-cleaved oligosaccharides, polymannosyl chains of different sizes, ranging from Man9GlcNAc to Man5GlcNAc, were separated. The major components were Man8GlcNAc and Man7GlcNAc, suggesting that pgC labeled in a 20-min pulse represents the form of glycoprotein already routed to the Golgi apparatus. Analysis of glycopeptides of mature gC showed that the majority (95%) of N-linked glycans were converted to complex-type glycans. Ion-exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose and leucoagglutinin-agarose revealed that diantennary and triantennary glycans predominated, whereas tetrantennary chains were not present. Parts of the di- and triantennary chains were not fully sialylated. The high heterogeneity of complex-type chains found in mature gC may be related to the high number of N-glycosylation sites of the glycoprotein as predicted by DNA sequencing studies (Frink et al., J. Virol. 45:634-647, 1983).

Abstract
We compared the rates of synthesis of herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoproteins C and D and quantitated the accumulation of translatable mRNA for each glycoprotein at various times after infection. The rate of synthesis of gD increased sharply early in the infection, peaked by 4 to 6 h after infection, and declined late in the infection. In contrast, the rate of synthesis of gC increased steadily until at least 15 h after infection. The levels of mRNA for both of these glycoproteins, as detected by hybridization and by translation in vitro, continued to increase until at least 15 or 16 h after infection. Synthesis of both gC and gD and their respective mRNAs was found to be sensitive to inhibition of viral DNA replication with phosphonoacetic acid. The finding that reduced amounts of gD were synthesized late in the replicative cycle, whereas gD mRNA continued to accumulate in the cytoplasm, argues that the synthesis of gD is regulated, in part, at the level of translation.

Abstract
The tsB5 isolate of herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) enters host cells more rapidly than does KOS, an independent isolate of HSV-1, and this rate-of-entry determinant is located between prototypic map coordinates 0.350 and 0.360 (1). The nucleotide sequence of strain tsB5 has now been determined between prototypic map coordinates 0.347 and 0.360. Comparison of the tsB5 sequence to the homologous KOS sequence revealed that the rate-of-entry difference between these two HSV-1 strains may be due to the single amino acid difference observed within these sequences (0.350 to 0.360). A cell fusion determinant in tsB5 is located between coordinates 0.345 and 0.355 and to the left of the rate-of-entry determinant (1). Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed a second amino acid difference between tsB5 and KOS at coordinate 0.349. The cell fusion determinant was tentatively assigned to this location.

Abstract
HEp-2 cells were infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and harvested at selected times thereafter. IgG, IgA, and IgM antibody to virus antigens present in these cells at each time was measured in sera from oral cancer patients, and in matched controls. The IgA response of oral cancer patients was significantly greater than that of controls both at 8 and at 48 hours after infection, but showed no difference in response to HSV-1 virus particles. IgM antibody detected two peaks of antigen synthesis, at 4 and 48 hours after infection. Oral cancer patients had a stronger IgM response than did controls to both early and late peaks; the latter was significant at the 5% level. Oral cancer patients also had a significantly higher IgM response to the virus particle. These results imply the existence of at least two different HSV-1 antigens associated with oral cancer. Both are late antigens; one is recognized by IgA, and the other is recognized by IgM antibody.

Abstract
A pseudorabies virus variant ( mar197 -1) containing a mutation in a viral glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 50,000 ( gp50 ) was isolated by selecting for resistance to a neurtralizing monoclonal antibody ( MCA50 -1) directed against gp50 . This mutant was completely resistant to neutralization with MCA50 -1 in the presence or absence of complement, and was therefore defined as a mar (monoclonal-antibody-resistant) mutant. The mutation did not affect neutralization with polyvalent immune serum. The mar197 -1 mutant synthesized and processed gp50 normally, but the mutation prevented the binding and immunoprecipitation of gp50 by MCA50 -1. Thus, the mutation was within the structural portion of the gp50 gene affecting the epitope of the monoclonal antibody. The mutation was mapped by marker rescue with cloned pseudorabies restriction enzyme fragments to the short region of the pseudorabies genome between 0.813 and 0.832 map units. This is equivalent to a 2.1-kilobase-pair region.

Abstract
Feline rhinotracheitis virus is an upper-respiratory-tract pathogen of cats. It may also cause generalized infections or abortions. Antigens present in [35S]methionine- or [14C]glucosamine-labeled purified virions, in Nonident P-40 (NP-40) extracts of a mixture of virions and infected cells, and in virion-free cell culture medium, along with mock-infected Crandell -Rees feline kidney cell controls, were analyzed by direct sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) or by SDS-PAGE preceded by Staphylococcus aureus protein A immunoprecipitation. The direct SDS-PAGE analysis revealed at least 17 virus-specific peptides with molecular weights ranging from less than 200,000 ( 200K ) to more than 30K . Three of these peptides were glycosylated and had molecular weights of 105K , 68K , and 60K. Immunoprecipitates of purified virions and NP-40 extracts contained three major glycoproteins with the same estimated molecular weights as those found by the direct analysis. A prominent 105K glycoprotein was present in virion-free cell culture medium immunoprecipitates. In addition, a number of nonglycosylated feline rhinotracheitis virus-specific polypeptides (eight in virions, three in NP-40 extracts, and nine in virion-free cell culture medium), ranging in molecular weight from 145K to 32K, were present in the various immunoprecipitates.

Abstract
We have used elements of the E. coli lactose (lac) operon to produce a collection of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 glycoprotein D (gD-1 and gD-2) antigens. Our approach employed recombinant DNA techniques to construct plasmids with various segments of the gD-1 and gD-2 coding sequences fused to the lacZ gene. Such hybrid genes were expressed in a regulated manner in E. coli by joining them to the lac promoter-operator region. Efficient translation of these hybrid genes was facilitated by incorporating a coding sequence specifying a short peptide leader (lambda cro) in the plasmid expression vectors resulting in synthesis of chimeric Cro-gD-beta-galactosidase proteins. In addition, insertion of synthetic translation terminators at the junction of gD and lacZ enabled us to produce specific truncated gD polypeptide sequences unfused to beta-galactosidase. The gD antigens produced in E. coli were not glycosylated and were generally recovered as dense insoluble aggregates. Proteins containing portions of gD-1 or gD-2 were analyzed by immunoprecipitation using anti-HSV rabbit serum and a number of monoclonal antibodies recognizing different epitopes of gD-1. Initial animal studies were done with antigens that reacted with neutralizing antisera or monoclonal antibodies. When these bacterially produced proteins were injected into rabbits, antibodies were produced that specifically immunoprecipitated authentic gD polypeptides and neutralized the infectivity of both virus types. These studies suggest that gene fusion techniques can be used to produce immunogenic proteins in large quantity. These polypeptides are not only useful in analyses of gene structure and function, but also can provide novel diagnostic reagents and well-defined pure antigens for vaccine development.

Abstract
Receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulins or for the third component of complement (C3) are present on a variety of circulating and fixed tissue cells including granulocytes, monocytes, lymphocytes and glomerular epithelial cells. Cells which lack Fc receptors may express them after infection by herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1, HSV-2, cytomegalovirus or varicella zoster virus. We recently reported that infection by HSV-1 induces both Fc and C3 receptors on human endothelial cells. Glycoprotein E of HSV-1 has been shown to function as an Fc receptor. We now demonstrate that glycoprotein C (gC) of HSV-1 functions as a C3b receptor. This receptor appears following HSV-1, but not HSV-2, infection. Detection of the C3b receptor is blocked by monoclonal antibodies to glycoprotein C (gC) of HSV-1, but not by monoclonal antibodies to other HSV-1 glycoproteins. In addition, the MP mutant of HSV-1, which lacks gC, fails to express a C3b receptor. These results assign a new function of gC of HSV-1 and demonstrate potentially important differences between HSV-1 and HSV-2 glycoproteins.

Abstract
Hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies to bovine herpes virus type 1 (BHV-1) were established. The monoclonal antibodies were characterized with respect to their antigen specificities and biological activities. One group of eight monoclonal antibodies precipitated the glycoproteins GVP 3 (180K) and GVP 9 (91K), a second group of thirteen monoclonal antibodies precipitated GVP 6 (130K), GVP 11 (74K) and GVP 16 (55K), and one monoclone secreted antibodies specific for GVP 7 (105K). Analysis of the immune precipitates by electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions suggested that GVP 3 is a dimer of GVP 9. It also indicated that GVP 11 and GVP 16 are components of a disulfide-linked complex, GVP 6. The results, obtained by immunoprecipitation were confirmed by Western blot analysis and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), using electrophoretically separated viral glycoproteins. In addition, these techniques demonstrated differential reactivities of the monoclonal antibodies with GVP 11 and GVP 16. The monoclonal antibodies were used to analyze the biological roles of these three sets of glycoproteins. Monoclonal antibodies directed against GVP 3/GVP 9 did not neutralize viral infectivity, but most of them mediated complement-dependent lysis of the infected cell. Individual monoclonal antibodies directed against GVP 6/GVP 11/GVP 16 could neutralize virus as well as participate in complement-mediated lysis. The only available monoclone against GVP 7 did not show any biological activity in the above two assays. Thus, GVP 6/GVP 11/GVP 16 may contain the attachment site of the virion.

Abstract
Three classes of HSV-1(F) mutants expressing a resistance phenotype to two highly potent-type common monoclonal antibodies, H126-5 and H233, to glycoprotein B (gB) were selected. Class 1 mutants, selected for resistance to neutralization from nonmutagenized virus stocks, expressed a gB which reacted in biotin-avidin-enhanced surface immunoassays and in immune precipitation tests with the selecting antibodies. Class 2 and 3 mutants were selected for nonreactivity in the biotin-avidin-enhanced surface immunoassay from BUdR-mutagenized, preneutralized virus stocks, but differ in that the selecting antibodies immune precipitated the gB of Class 2 but not that of Class 3. Mutants expressing a resistance phenotype to one monoclonal antibody (H126-5 or H233) invariably retained reactivity in all tests with the heterologous antibody, and recombinants resistant to both antibodies were produced by cotransfection of intact DNA of one mutant with a cloned DNA fragment from another mutant. Class 1 mutations were mapped by marker transfer to a 1734-bp DNA fragment. Class 2 and 3 mutations were mapped to a region defined by a maximum of 377 bp and a minimum of 46 bp, in a biotin-avidin-enhanced surface immunoassay with a panel of DNA fragments of HSV-1(F) BamHI G carrying staggered deletions across the region encoding gB. This region does not overlap the neutralizing antibody determinant site mapped by T.C. Holland, R.M. Sandri-Goldin, L.E. Holland, S.D. Marlin, M. Levine, and J. Glorioso (1983, J. Virol. 46, 649-652) and is located 3' to the ts lesion of HSV-1(HFEM)tsB5 and 5' to the syn3 locus of that virus. It was concluded that (i) inasmuch as the biotin-avidin-enhanced surface immunoassay does not destroy the virus contained in the plaque, it is a rapid and convenient method for both identification and selection of mutants reactive and nonreactive to specific monoclonal antibodies. (ii) gB may contain multiple domains carrying epitopic sites of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. (iii) The resistance phenotype may arise from mutations which alter the conformation or the amino acid sequence of the epitope. These mutations might be differentiable on the basis of reactivity of mutated gB with selecting monoclonal antibody in nondenaturing and denaturing environments, respectively.

Abstract
The replication of the simian herpesvirus SA8 in Vero cells was examined. The time course of replication of the simian herpesvirus SA8 was found to be similar to that of the herpes simplex viruses. Infectious progeny virions were first detectable by 6 h postinfection and were readily released into the extracellular fluids beginning at 9 h postinfection. All cell lines tested, with the exception of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, were permissive for SA8. Analysis of SA8-infected cells by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed over 40 infected cell polypeptides ranging in molecular weight from 158,000 to less than 10,000. Of these proteins, 23 were present in virions. Three classes of infected cell polypeptides could be identified based on the kinetics of their synthesis. Post-translational processing of several SA8-induced proteins was also observed in pulse-chase experiments. Six distinct SA8-specific glycoproteins ranging from 118,000 to 19,500 daltons were also identified in infected cells. Of these glycoproteins, five were present in virions.

Abstract
Evidence is presented showing that the 92,000-dalton glycoprotein (g92K) induced by herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 2 has properties distinct from those assigned to any other HSV glycoprotein. First, the carbohydrate composition and extent of sulfation differ from those of glycoproteins D and E. Second, two clonally unrelated monoclonal antibodies, AP1 and LP5, shown in this paper to specifically immunoprecipitate g92K, do not react with any of the known processed forms of glycoproteins B, C, D, and E. Third, by using HSV type 1/HSV type 2 intertypic recombinants and a simple radioimmunoassay, the target antigen of the two monoclonal antibodies was shown to map in the same region as g92K (0.846 to 0.924). Fourth, the intertypic recombinant R12-3 was shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of infected cells to induce the HSV type 2 g92K and HSV type 1 gD and GE, whereas R12-1, which did not induce g92K, induced HSV-2 gE and an altered gD, providing genetic evidence that g92K is encoded, at least in part, by a different region of the genome from that encoding gD and gE.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence thought to specify the glycoprotein gene, gB, of the KOS strain of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) has been determined. A 3.1-kilobase (kb), viral-specified RNA was mapped to the left half of the BamHI-G fragment (0.345 to 0.399 map units). TATA, CAT-box, and possible mRNA start sequences characteristic of HSV-1 genes are found near 0.368 map units. The first available ATG codon is at 0.366 and the first in-phase chain terminator at 0.348 map units. A polyA-addition signal (AATAAA) occurs 17 nucleotides past the chain terminator. Translation of these sequences would yield a 100.3-kilodalton (kDa) polypeptide characterized by a 5' signal sequence, nine N-linked saccharide addition sites, a strongly hydrophobic membrane-spanning sequence, and a highly charged 3' cytoplasmic anchor sequence. Two mutants of KOS, tsJ12 and tsJ20, that are temperature-sensitive for viral growth and for the production of gB, have been physically mapped to 0.357 to 0.360 and 0.360 to 0.364 map units, respectively (DeLuca et al., in preparation). The nucleotide sequence of the mutants was determined in these regions. In both cases a single amino acid replacement within the 100.3-kDa polypeptide is predicted from the sequence analysis.

Abstract
A function(s) involved in the altered susceptibility of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2)-infected cells to specific lysis by cytotoxic T lymphocytes was mapped in the S component of HSV-2 DNA by using HSV-1 X HSV-2 intertypic recombinants (RH1G44, RS1G25, R50BG10, A7D, and C4D) and HSV-1 MP. Target cells infected with R50BG10, A7D, and C4D exhibited reduced levels of cytolysis, as did HSV-2-infected cells, whereas RH1G44 and RS1G25 recombinant-infected and HSV-1 MP-infected cells showed levels of lysis equal to that of HSV-1 KOS-infected cells. The intertypic recombinants R50BG10, RS1G25, RH1G44, and HSV-1 MP induced cross-reactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Coinfection of cells with HSV-1 KOS and either HSV-2 186 or R50BG10 recombinant also resulted in a decrease in the level of specific lysis by anti-HSV cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

Abstract
Monospecific antisera to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoproteins gB, gC, and gD were used to identify the HSV-1-specific glycoproteins associated with the nuclear fraction as compared with those associated with cytoplasmic fraction, whole-cell lysates, and purified virions. The results indicate that a predominance of HSV glycoprotein precursors pgC(105), pgB(110), and pgD(52) is associated with the nuclear fraction. Treatment of the nuclear fraction with the enzyme endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H indicated that the lower-molecular-weight glycoproteins are sensitive to this endoglycosidase. These results suggest that in the nuclear fraction of HSV-1-infected cells virus-specific glycoproteins gB, gC, and gD are predominately in the high-mannose precursor form; however, detectable amounts of the fully glycosylated forms of gC and gD were also found.

Abstract
Glycoprotein D is a virion envelope component of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2. Sets of mice were immunized with purified gD-1 or gD-2 and were challenged with a lethal dose of herpes simple virus, either type 1 or type 2. All or virtually all of the immunized mice survived challenge with either agent, whereas challenge of sham-immunized mice was almost always fatal. Serum samples taken before challenge contained gD-specific antibodies which had 50% neutralization titers ranging from 1:16 to 1:512 against homologous and heterologous virus types. We conclude that either gD-1 or gD-2 is a potential candidate for a subunit vaccine against herpetic infections.

Abstract
The usefulness of lentil lectin affinity chromatography for the rapid enrichment of HSV glycoproteins in an undenatured state for both research and clinical purposes was investigated. In order to compare the lentil lectin-binding characteristics and immunologic specificities of undenatured HSV-1 and HSV-2 glycoproteins, [35S]methionine-labelled extracts of virus-infected HEp-2 cells were subjected to lentil lectin affinity chromatography. Individual HSV-1 and HSV-2 glycoproteins in bound and unbound fractions were identified using monoclonal antibodies. With the exception of a portion of pgD and gD, all major viral glycoprotein species (gA, gB, gC, gD, gE and gF) and their glycosylated processive intermediates bound to lentil lectin indicating that all possess predominantly mannosyl and/or glucosyl carbohydrate moieties. Although the unbound pgD and gD species were glycosylated, no gD and only a portion of pgD bound to lentil lectin when reapplied to the column indicating that these subspecies possess alterations in factors required for efficient lectin binding. Immunoprecipitation of undenatured lectin-bound glycoproteins from infected cells using HSV-1 and HSV-2-specific rabbit and human antisera confirmed previous findings that the predominant type-specific glycoproteins of HSV-1 and HSV-2 are gC and gE/gF, respectively.

Abstract
Glycoprotein D (gD) of herpes simplex virus is a structural component of the virion envelope which stimulates production of high titers of herpes simplex virus type-common neutralizing antibody. We carried out automated N-terminal amino acid sequencing studies on radiolabeled preparations of gD-1 (gD of herpes simplex virus type 1) and gD-2 (gD of herpes simplex virus type 2). Although some differences were noted, particularly in the methionine and alanine profiles for gD-1 and gD-2, the amino acid sequence of a number of the first 30 residues of the amino terminus of gD-1 and gD-2 appears to be quite similar. For both proteins, the first residue is a lysine. When we compared our sequence data for gD-1 with those predicted by nucleic acid sequencing, the two sequences could be aligned (with one exception) starting at residue 26 (lysine) of the predicted sequence. Thus, the first 25 amino acids of the predicted sequence are absent from the polypeptides isolated from infected cells.

Abstract
An antigenic determinant capable of inducing type-common herpes simplex virus (HSV)-neutralizing antibodies has been located on glycoprotein D (gD) of HSV type 1 (HSV-1). A peptide of 16 amino acids corresponding to residues 8 to 23 of the mature glycoprotein (residues 33 to 48 of the predicted gD-1 sequence) was synthesized. This peptide reacted with an anti-gD monoclonal antibody (group VII) previously shown to neutralize the infectivity of HSV-1 and HSV-2. The peptide was also recognized by polyclonal antibodies prepared against purified gD-1 but was less reactive with anti-gD-2 sera. Sera from animals immunized with the synthetic peptide reacted with native gD and neutralized both HSV-1 and HSV-2.

Abstract
We describe a 1635-bp Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) DNA sequence containing the entire coding region of glycoprotein D (gD-2). The amino acid sequence of gD-2, deduced from the nucleotide sequence, was compared to that of the analogous Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein (gD-1). The two glycoproteins are 85% homologous and contain highly conserved regions of as much as 49 amino acids in length. Comparison of DNA sequences upstream from gD-1 and gD-2 coding regions identified possible conserved regulatory sequences.

Abstract
The gene for glycoprotein D of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) was expressed in stable mammalian cell lines. Glycoprotein D produced in these cells has a number of antigenic determinants in common with the native glycoprotein. Cell lines expressing glycoprotein D were used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect human antibodies to glycoprotein D. This strategy should prove useful in determining the extent to which the immune response to HSV-1 is directed toward glycoprotein D.

Abstract
We carried out studies of in vitro translation and processing of glycoprotein D (gD) of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 by using mRNA from cells infected for 6 h and a reticulocyte lysate translation system. Polypeptides of 49,000 daltons were immunoprecipitated with anti-gD-1 sera. Each in vitro-synthesized molecule had the same methionine tryptic peptide profile as the respective in vivo precursors, pgD-1 and pgD-2. In addition, the polypeptides synthesized in vitro were larger than the corresponding molecules synthesized in the presence of tunicamycin. This suggested that each of the gD polypeptides synthesized in vitro contained a transient N-terminal signal sequence. When the translation mixture was supplemented with pancreatic microsomes, each of the gD polypeptides was converted cotranslationally to a larger-molecular-weight form. Processing involved addition of three N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharides and removal of the signal peptide. When trypsin was added after in vitro processing, a polypeptide which was 3,000 daltons smaller than the in vitro-modified form of gD was immunoprecipitated. Experiments with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H showed that this polypeptide still contained the three N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharides. Two monoclonal antibodies, 57S (group V) and 17O (group VII), were used to further orient gD in microsomes. The group V determinant was located in the trypsin-sensitive 3,000-dalton fragment, and the group VII determinant was located in the portion of gD which was protected from trypsin. We concluded that gD is oriented with the three glycosylation sites inside the vesicles and that 3,000 daltons containing the group V determinant are located outside. Immunofluorescence studies indicated that the group V determinant of gD is inside the plasma membrane of herpes simplex virus-infected cells and that the group VII determinant is outside. This cellular orientation is consistent with predictions based on the in vitro experiments.

Abstract
We report on N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (UDPacetylgalactosamine--protein acetylgalactosaminyltransferase; EC 2.4.1.41) activity in herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-infected BHK and RicR14 cells, a line of ricin-resistant BHK cells defective in N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I. The enzyme catalyzed the transfer of [14C]N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) from UDP-[14C]GalNAc into HSV glycoproteins, as identified by immunoprecipitation. The sugar was selectively incorporated into the immature forms of herpesvirus glycoproteins pgC, pgD, and gA-pgB, which are known to contain N-linked glycans of the high-mannose type. The high incorporation of [14C]GalNAc into endogenous acceptors of HSV-1-infected RicR14 cells was consistent with the accumulation of immature forms of HSV glycoproteins which occurs in these cells. Mild alkaline borohydride treatment of glycoproteins labeled via GalNAc transferase showed that the transferred GalNAc was O-linked and represented the first sugar added to the peptide backbone.

Abstract
Evidence is presented that the herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein previously designated gF is antigenically related to herpes simplex virus type 1 gC (gC-1). An antiserum prepared against type 1 virion envelope proteins immunoprecipitated gF of type 2 (gF-2), and competition experiments revealed that the anti-gC-1 component of the antiserum was responsible for the anti-gF-2 cross-reactivity. An antiserum prepared against fully denatured purified gF-2, however, and three anti-gF-2 monoclonal antibodies failed to precipitate any type 1 antigen, indicating that the extent of cross-reactivity between gC-1 and gF-2 may be limited. Several aspects of gF-2 synthesis and processing were investigated. Use of the enzymes endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and alpha-D-N-acetylgalactosaminyl oligosaccharidase revealed that the fully processed form of gF-2 (about 75,000 [75K] apparent molecular weight) had both complex-type N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides, whereas newly synthesized forms (67K and 69K) had only high-mannose N-linked oligosaccharides. These last two forms were both reduced in size to 54K by treatment with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and therefore appear to differ only in the number of N-linked chains. Neutralization tests and radioiodination experiments revealed that gF-2 is exposed on the surfaces of virions and that the 75K form of gF-2 is exposed on cell surfaces. The similarities and differences of gF-2 and gC-1 are discussed in light of recent mapping results which suggest collinearity of their respective genes.

Abstract
Nine temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 selected for their inability to render cells susceptible to immune cytolysis after infection at the nonpermissive temperature have been characterized genetically and phenotypically. The mutations in four mutants were mapped physically by marker rescue and assigned to functional groups by complementation analysis. In an effort to determine the molecular basis for cytolysis resistance, cells infected with each of the nine mutants were monitored for the synthesis of viral glycoprotein in total cell extracts and for the presence of these glycoproteins in plasma membranes. The four mutants whose ts mutations were mapped were selected with polypeptide-specific antiserum to glycoproteins gA and gB; however, three of the four mutations mapped to DNA sequences outside the limits of the structural gene specifying these glycoproteins. Combined complementation and phenotypic analysis indicates that the fourth mutation also lies elsewhere. The ts mutations in five additional cytolysis-resistant mutants could not be rescued with single cloned DNA fragments representing the entire herpes simplex virus type 1 genome, suggesting that these mutants may possess multiple mutations. Complementation tests with the four mutants whose ts lesions had been mapped physically demonstrated that each represents a new viral gene. Examination of mutant-infected cells at the nonpermissive temperature for the presence of viral glycoproteins in total cell extracts and in membranes at the cell surface demonstrated that (i) none of the five major viral glycoproteins was detected in extracts of cells infected with one mutant, suggesting that this mutant is defective in a very early function; (ii) cells infected with six of the nine mutants exhibited greatly reduced levels of all the major viral glycoproteins at the infected cell surface, indicating that these mutants possess defects in the synthesis or processing of viral glycoproteins; and (iii) in cells infected with one mutant, all viral glycoproteins were precipitable at the surface of the infected cell, despite the resistance of these cells to cytolysis. This mutant is most likely mutated in a gene affecting a late stage in glycoprotein processing, leading to altered presentation of glycoproteins at the plasma membrane. The finding that the synthesis of both gB and gC was affected coordinately in cells infected with six of the nine mutants suggests that synthesis of these two glycoproteins, their transport to the cell surface, or their insertion into plasma membranes is coordinately regulated.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) proteins from isolates of both human (HCMV) and simian (SCMV) origin have been compared. Three classes were analyzed: the immediate-early (IE) proteins, other infected-cell-specific proteins not present in virus particles, and the proteins that constitute the mature extracellular virion. Comparisons were based on one- and two-dimensional (charge-size) separations in denaturing polyacrylamide gels, and on the selectivity of biosynthetic radiolabeling with [32P]orthophosphate and [3H]glucosamine. Results indicate that most, if not all, of the HCMV and SCMV proteins recognized, have counterparts in strain Colburn. As a group, the simian strains exhibit protein similarities that distinguish them from the human strains. Among the most diagnostic of these are the 205K and 145K virion proteins, each of which is about 7K smaller than its HCMV counterpart, and the predominant IE proteins, which are 10K to 20K (depending upon the strain) larger than their HCMV counterparts. The proteins of strain Colburn are shown to be more like those of the simian isolates than the human, and more like those of a vervet strain than rhesus. Leads provided by experiments using strain Colburn have aided in the identification of a previously unrecognized, abundant virion protein that is a principal phosphate acceptor, both in vivo and in vitro. Three additional phosphorylated proteins are identified in HCMV virions, as well as three glycoproteins. Only two HCMV strain-specific protein differences were detected by comparisons based on separation in SDS-containing polyacrylamide gels--one in the IE protein of strains Towne and Davis; the other in a virus capsid protein of strain AD169.

Abstract
The 104-S monoclonal antibody immunoprecipitated from herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2)-infected cell extracts the 75,000-molecular-weight glycoprotein gF and its 65,000-molecular-weight precursor (pgF). The precursor pgF was sensitive to endoglycosidase H digestion, indicating the presence of high mannose-type oligosaccharides, whereas the stable gF product was sensitive to neuraminidase digestion, indicating the presence of sialic acid residues. The 104-S antibody also weakly precipitated the 130,000-molecular-weight herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein gC from both infected cell extracts and purified preparations obtained through the use of monoclonal antibody-containing immunoadsorbent columns. Immunofluorescence tests demonstrated that the 104-S antibody reacted with antigen present in cells infected with HSV-2 strain 333 and HSV-1 strain 14012 but not with antigen present in cells infected with HSV-1 strain MP, a strain deficient in HSV-1 gC production. These findings indicate that HSV-1 gC and HSV-2 gF have antigenic determinants that are related.

Two herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) antigens of apparent molecular weight 123,000 and 63,000 which are associated with the viral glycoprotein complex have been identified and purified using virus-specific monoclonal antibodies. Mice immunized with either glycoprotein showed marked resistance to challenge with virulent HSV-1. Therefore purified glycoproteins of HSV-1 free of nucleic acid can be used in protective immunization of mice against human herpes simplex type 1.

Abstract
We have carried out detailed structural studies of the glycopeptides of glycoprotein gD of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2. We first examined and compared the number of N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharides present in each glycoprotein. We found that treatment of either pgD-1 or pgD-2 with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (Endo H) generated three polypeptides which migrated more rapidly than pgD on gradient sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Two of the faster-migrating polypeptides were labeled with [(3)H]mannose, suggesting that both pgD-1 and pgD-2 contained three N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharides. Second, we characterized the [(3)H]mannose-labeled tryptic peptides of pgD-1 and pgD-2. We found that both glycoproteins contained three tryptic glycopeptides, termed glycopeptides 1, 2, and 3. Gel filtration studies indicated that the molecular weights of these three peptides were approximately 10,000, 3,900, and 1,800, respectively, for both pgD-1 and pgD-2. Three methods were employed to determine the size of the attached oligosaccharides. First, the [(3)H]mannose-labeled glycopeptides were treated with Endo H, and the released oligosaccharide was chromatographed on Bio-Gel P6. The size of this molecule was estimated to be approximately 1,200 daltons. Second, Endo H treatment of [(35)S]methionine-labeled glycopeptide 2 reduced the molecular size of this peptide from approximately 3,900 to approximately 2,400 daltons. Third, glycopeptide 2 isolated from the gD-like molecule formed in the presence of tunicamycin was approximately 2,200 daltons. From these experiments, the size of each N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharide was estimated to be approximately 1,400 to 1,600 daltons. Our experiments indicated that glycopeptides 2 and 3 each contained one N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharide chain. Although glycopeptide 1 was large enough to accommodate more than one oligosaccharide chain, the experiments with Endo H treatment of the glycoprotein indicated that there were only three N-asparagine-linked oligosaccharides present in pgD-1 and pgD-2. Further studies of the tryptic glycopeptides by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography indicated that all of the glycopeptides were hydrophobic in nature. In the case of glycopeptide 2, we observed that when the carbohydrate was not present, the hydrophobicity of the peptide increased. The properties of the tryptic glycopeptides of pgD-1 were compared with the properties predicted from the deduced amino acid sequence of gD-1. The size and amino acid composition compared favorably for glycopeptides 1 and 2. Glycopeptide 3 appeared to be somewhat smaller than would be predicted from the deduced sequence of gD-1. It appears that all three potential glycosylation sites predicted by the amino acid sequence are utilized in gD-1 and that a similar number of glycosylation sites are present in gD-2.

Abstract
The intracellular transport of the HSV-1 glycoproteins gA/gB, gC and gD has been followed by the indirect immunofluorescence technique (IIF). Infected tissue culture cells were stained with monoclonal antibodies made to the individual glycoproteins and with fluorochrome-coupled wheat germ agglutinin reacting specifically with Golgi apparatus of the cells. Staining of either infected, human fibroblasts or of VERO cells at 9 hours p.i. with antibodies to gA/gB showed a prominent ring-like nuclear fluorescence and distinct staining of the Golgi apparatus in the cells. Antibodies to gC and gD stained mainly the Golgi apparatus and areas close to or at the surface of the cells. By immunocytolysis of HSV-1-infected VERO cells the viral glycoproteins were demonstrable at the surface of cells but growth of infected cells in the presence of either TM or monensin inhibited the expression of most of the viral glycoproteins at the cell surface. Blocking of the glycosylation of the viral glycoproteins with tunicamycin (TM) was followed by accumulation of the core of the glycoproteins gA/gB and gD in granular structures close to the nucleus as seen by immunofluorescence microscopy. Antibodies to gC did also stain granules close to the nucleus but in addition the periphery of the cells were stained. Inhibition of intracellular transport from the Golgi apparatus by the carboxylic ionophore monensin was followed by accumulation of all the HSV-1 glycoproteins in vesicles derived from the Golgi apparatus in both human fibroblasts and VERO cells. Our data thus support the hypothesis that the HSV-1 glycoproteins are processed in the Golgi apparatus before the transport to and incorporation into the cell surface membrane of infected cells and into virion envelopes.

Abstract
Cells normally insensitive to human natural killer (NK) activity were rendered susceptible by infection with HSV-1. The cytotoxic effector cell was a nonadherent, non-T, non-B lymphocyte. Antibody plus complement treatment, using a monoclonal antibody that recognizes an antigen present on NK cells, removed much of the cytotoxic activity, and a density gradient fraction enriched for NK cells yielded cells of increased virus-specific cytotoxicity. It was concluded that the effector cell active against infected targets possessed characteristics of an NK cell. Blockage of viral protein synthesis during infection inhibited development of increased susceptibility of infected targets to NK activity. When targets were infected with a mutant virus unable to produce viral glycoprotein C (gC), NK activity against these targets was reduced approximately 30% compared with activity against targets infected with wild-type virus. Similarly, activity against targets infected in the presence of 2-deoxyglucose (2dG), which prevents cell surface expression of viral glycoprotein B (gB), was also reduced approximately 30%. An approximately 60% reduction in activity was seen against targets infected with mutant virus in the presence of 2dG; these targets express gD, but neither gB nor gC. When cells expressing various combinations of HSV-1 glycoproteins were used as both labeled targets and cold target competitors, it was found that the susceptibility of a particular target to NK activity was paralleled by its ability to act as a cold target competitor. This indicates that targets with decreased sensitivity to NK cells were less able to bind NK effectors. Further, the amount of interferon produced in co-cultures of NK effectors and infected target cells did not directly correlate with the amount of NK activity generated, and interferon pretreatment of effectors did not decrease virus-specific cytotoxicity. The present results suggest that HSV-1 glycoproteins expressed at the surface of infected targets may act as recognition structures for NK cells.
