Abstract
UNLABELLED Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) enters mice via olfactory epithelial cells and then colonizes the trigeminal ganglia (TG). Most TG nerve endings are subepithelial, so this colonization implies subepithelial viral spread, where myeloid cells provide an important line of defense. The outcome of infection of myeloid cells by HSV-1 in vitro depends on their differentiation state; the outcome in vivo is unknown. Epithelial HSV-1 commonly infected myeloid cells, and Cre-Lox virus marking showed nose and lung infections passing through LysM-positive (LysM(+)) and CD11c(+) cells. In contrast, subcapsular sinus macrophages (SSMs) exposed to lymph-borne HSV-1 were permissive only when type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling was blocked; normally, their infection was suppressed. Thus, the outcome of myeloid cell infection helped to determine the HSV-1 distribution: subepithelial myeloid cells provided a route of spread from the olfactory epithelium to TG neurons, while SSMs blocked systemic spread. IMPORTANCE Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infects most people and can cause severe disease. This reflects its persistence in nerve cells that connect to the mouth, nose, eye, and face. Established infection seems impossible to clear. Therefore, we must understand how it starts. This is difficult in humans, but mice show HSV-1 entry via the nose and then spread to its preferred nerve cells. We show that this spread proceeds in part via myeloid cells, which normally function in host defense. Myeloid infection was productive in some settings but was efficiently suppressed by interferon in others. Therefore, interferon acting on myeloid cells can stop HSV-1 spread, and enhancing this defense offers a way to improve infection control.

Abstract
CTLA-4 is a surface receptor on activated T cells that delivers an inhibitory signal, serving as an immune checkpoint. Treatment with anti-CTLA-4 Abs can induce clinical responses to different malignancies, but the nature of the induced Ag-specific recognition is largely unknown. Using microarrays spotted with >8000 human proteins, we assessed the diversity of Ab responses modulated by treatment with CTLA-4 blockade and GM-CSF. We find that advanced prostate cancer patients who clinically respond to treatment also develop enhanced Ab responses to a higher number of Ags than nonresponders. These induced Ab responses targeted Ags to which preexisting Abs are more likely to be present in the clinical responders compared with nonresponders. The majority of Ab responses are patient-specific, but immune responses against Ags shared among clinical responders are also detected. One of these shared Ags is PAK6, which is expressed in prostate cancer and to which CD4(+) T cell responses were also induced. Moreover, immunization with PAK6 can be both immunogenic and protective in mouse tumor models. These results demonstrate that immune checkpoint blockade modulates Ag-specific responses to both individualized and shared Ags, some of which can mediate anti-tumor responses.

Abstract
Complete characterization of the B cell response to infection or vaccination is dependent on accurate quantitation of the memory B cell (MBC) pool. An established method for measuring MBC frequencies is limiting dilution analysis based on in vitro stimulation of MBCs to divide and differentiate into antibody-secreting cells (ASCs). The presence of specific antibody then serves to identify cultures positive for precursor MBCs. The sensitivity of this approach is critically dependent on optimal in vitro MBC activation. To develop a limiting dilution assay (LDA) for measuring influenza-specific MBC frequencies, we evaluated strategies for the in vitro stimulation of influenza-specific MBCs. An ELISPOT assay to enumerate influenza-specific IgG ASCs was used as the readout for MBC activation. Culture of influenza-specific MBCs with influenza-infected splenocytes was effective for MBC activation, but T cell-associated factors were required for optimal LDA sensitivity and clonal expansion of activated MBCs. However, optimal influenza-specific MBC activation was T cell-independent when MBCs were simply cultured with beta-propiolactone (BPL)-inactivated influenza virus particles (BPL-flu). BPL-flu did not stimulate naïve B cells to produce influenza-specific IgG, demonstrating that only MBCs were activated. In addition, BPL-flu acted selectively and only activated influenza-specific MBCs, not MBCs of other specificities. Analysis of influenza-specific MBC frequencies in different anatomical locations in influenza-immune mice established that in vitro stimulation with BPL-flu provided the basis for a sensitive and reproducible LDA. Extending our studies to the herpes simplex virus (HSV) system, we demonstrated that HSV-specific MBCs cultured with BPL-inactivated HSV were selectively activated to IgG secretion in the absence of T cells. Our studies identify BPL-inactivated viral particles as a valuable tool for selective, T cell-independent activation of virus-specific MBCs in vitro. This strategy eliminates the influence of poorly defined T cell-associated factors on MBC frequency determinations.

Abstract
It is often stated that individuals of a species can differ significantly in their innate resistance to infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Three decades ago Lopez reported that C57BL/6 mice could survive a 5,000-fold-higher inoculum of HSV-1 given intraperitoneally than mice of the A or BALB/c strain (Nature 258:152-153, 1975). Susceptible strains of mice died of encephalitis-like symptoms, suggesting that viral spread to the central nervous system was the cause of death. Although Lopez's study documented that C57BL/6 mice were resistant to the development of HSV-1 encephalitis and mortality, the resistance of C57BL/6 mice to other steps of the HSV-1 infection process was not assessed. The results of the present study extend these observations to clarify the difference between resistance to (i) HSV-1 pathogenesis, (ii) HSV-1 replication, (iii) HSV-1 spread, and (iv) the establishment of latent HSV-1 infection. Although C57BL/6 mice are more resistant to HSV-1 pathogenesis than BALB/c mice, the results of the present study establish that HSV-1 enters, replicates, spreads, and establishes latent infections with virtually identical efficiencies in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. These observations raise questions about the validity of the inference that differences in natural resistance are relevant in explaining what differentiates humans with recurrent herpetic disease from the vast majority of asymptomatic carriers of HSV-1 and HSV-2.

Abstract
Macrophages play a central role in establishing a specific immune response by acting as professional antigen presenting cells (APC) for T cells leading to a vigorous immune response. In order to analyze if Herpes simplex Virus (HSV) type 1 infection might affect the macrophage APC-function, monocyte-derived human macrophages were infected with HSV-1 strain F in vitro. Cocultures with allogeneic T cells revealed a strongly impaired stimulatory capacity of HSV-infected macrophages compared to uninfected controls which was not owing to a productive viral infection in macrophages. An increased expression of Fas ligand (FasL/CD95L) was detected in HSV-infected macrophages by FACS analysis. Although the majority of the macrophages expressed high levels of Fas (CD95/Apo-1), the HSV-induced upregulation of FasL did not result in an increased autocrine apoptosis of macrophages which might be related to endogenous expression of the apoptosis inhibitor FLICE inhibitory protein (FLIP). However, substantial apoptosis occurred in peripheral T cells as well as Fas-sensitive Jurkat T cells when cocultured with HSV-infected macrophages. These findings suggest that the paracrine killing of activated T cells by FasL expressing APC might be a novel strategy of immune evasion by HSV.

Abstract
Freshly isolated macrophages from mature mice are poorly or nonpermissive for infections with HSV. However, despite lack of significant viral replication, HSV infection has been demonstrated to induce substantial cell death among macrophages. To determine if HSV-induced cytotoxicity of macrophages is due to apoptosis, peritoneal macrophages were obtained from C57BL/6 (B6) mice, and apoptosis was analyzed following HSV-2 infection in vitro. Macrophages underwent apoptosis upon HSV-2 infection indicated by annexin V staining, labeling of DNA strand breaks and electronmicroscopy. Apoptosis was associated with macrophage activation demonstrated by upregulation of MHC class II and Mac-1 surface expression. Though there was also an upregulation of Fas (Apo-1/CD95) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-receptor 1 (TNF-R1) pathways, inhibition of Fas by soluble Fas and blocking of TNF-alpha using a TNF-binding protein did not prevent HSV-induced apoptosis. Moreover, apoptosis was not impaired in HSV-2 infected macrophages from Fas-deficient B6-lpr/lpr mice suggesting involvement of other apoptosis pathways, or activation of Fas or TNF-R pathways downstream of the receptor level. The present results demonstrate that HSV-2 infection leads to activation and subsequent apoptosis in peritoneal macrophages independent of Fas or TNF-R1 signaling.

Abstract
Alveolar macrophages (AM) infected with Pseudorabies virus (PRV) were compared to noninfected AM for cytotoxicity against foreign or transformed cells and production of interferon (IFN). Five PRV strains were used to infect AM including strains that are known to be highly virulent for pigs, i.e. strain 4892 and strain S-62 as well as strains that are regarded as mild or nonvirulent, i.e. BUK and Bartha. The multiplicity of infection ranged from 0.005 to 0.05 TCID50/cell. The target cells in the cytotoxicity assays were either chicken red blood cells, PRV-infected vero cells, or human myeloblastoma cells (K562 cell line). For the production of IFN, AM cultures were treated with polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C) diluted in tissue culture media at a concentration of 5 micrograms/10(6) cells. Culture supernatants were collected at various times poststimulation and tested for antiviral activity using the Vesicular Stomatitis Virus replication inhibition test. Swine AM were able to lyse chicken red blood cells in an antibody-independent way but not in an antibody-dependent way, whereas lysis of PRV-infected vero cells was accomplished both ways. The cytotoxicity against chicken red blood cells was reduced in the PRV-infected AM as compared to noninfected cells, particularly in AM infected with virulent PRV strains. Specific 51Cr release values for AM infected with S-62 and 4892 strains were 14 and 19, while the noninfected AM had values of 36. Similarly, in the antibody-dependent cytotoxicity assay against PRV-infected vero cells there was no activity of AM against K562 cells. The production of IFN was readily stimulated with Poly I:C. The optimal time for supernatant collection was between 12 and 16 h poststimulation. The antiviral activity was abrogated by treatment of the supernatant with antiserum against human leukocyte IFN; it was therefore considered to be due to interferon-alpha (IFN alpha) released from the macrophages. The antiviral activity present in supernatants of PRV-infected AM was reduced compared to noninfected AM. The difference between AM cultures infected with virulent strains of PRV and noninfected AM cultures was statistically significant at P < or = 0.025. The results provide support to the premise that the role of AM in lung defense can be compromised by PRV infection.

Abstract
In the human macrophage-like cell line U937, which is resistant to infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), it was previously shown that resistance can be overcome by inducing differentiation of the cells by treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). The present data show that differentiation, and not PMA treatment alone, enabled HSV-1 replication, because vitamin D3 and mezerein were also able to cause U937 cells to differentiate to a state permissive for HSV-1 infection. Additionally, a portion of the undifferentiated cells underwent a productive infection when treated with PMA 2 days after infection, suggesting persistence of HSV-1 in these cells. The nonpermissiveness of the undifferentiated cells was further defined. Resistance did not involve differences in virus uptake, because the amounts of viral DNA in the infected cells and nuclei of differentiated and undifferentiated U937 cells were not significantly different early after infection. However, only very low levels of RNA for HSV-1 immediate-early, early, and late genes could be detected in the undifferentiated U937 cells by Northern blot analysis compared with the differentiated U937 cells. These data suggest that the primary block in HSV-1 replication in undifferentiated U937 cells occurred after transport of the viral DNA to the cell nucleus but prior to steady-state accumulation of viral RNA for immediate-early genes.

Abstract
Previous work has shown that splenic macrophages derived from herpes simplex virus (HSV)-resistant C57BL/6 mice undergo a persistent HSV infection which is characterized by the continuous release of infectious virus particles from a small subpopulation of infected cells. Treatment of persistently infected macrophages for 2 weeks with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) resulted in an increase of HSV yield and in virus-induced cytopathic effects. HSV was also reactivated by treatment of macrophage cultures with lipid A or tumour necrosis factor (TNF). Like macrophages of C57BL/6 origin, cells from LPS-hyporesponsive C3H/HeJ mice could be persistently infected with HSV. These cells were resistant to LPS-induced virus reactivation. The results show that macrophages derived from C57BL/6 mice are rendered susceptible to lytic HSV infection by treatment with LPS or TNF. Thus, these substances may interfere with persistent HSV infection which can be established due to genetically controlled properties of the host.

Abstract
The capability of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), strain Angelotti (ANG), to replicate in human promyelocytic HL-60 cells treated with 1,2-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was examined. Virus titrations and infectious center assays revealed that HSV-1 ANG replicated in nontreated HL-60 cells and in HL-60 cells treated with TPA. An abortive infection was observed in DMSO-stimulated HL-60 cells. Viral DNA synthesis was detected in nontreated and TPA-treated cells, but not in DMSO-treated cells. Analysis of HSV-1 transcripts revealed that albeit the differences in pretreatment, HL-60 cells synthesized viral immediate-early (ICP4) and early (tk and pol) RNAs, whereas a late viral transcript (gC) was almost exclusively detected in nontreated and TPA-treated HL-60 cells. In line with these observations were the results obtained from studies on viral protein synthesis. The immediate-early protein ICP4 was found in all three cell types. Early (pol), delayed-early (gB), as well as late proteins (VP 5, gC) were identified in nontreated and TPA-treated cells, but only in reduced amounts in DMSO-treated cells. These data suggest a translational block of HSV replication in DMSO-treated HL-60 cells at the level of early gene expression.

Abstract
Human blood monocytes isolated by centrifugal elutriation were resistant to infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV). In vitro cultivation for several days resulted in a stepwise increase of virus yield. Similar amounts of virus absorbed to fresh and cultured monocytes. No viral DNA was associated with the nuclear fraction of freshly isolated monocytes early after infection indicating that early steps of virus infection were already inhibited in resistant cells. This argues against HSV induced interferon (IFN) being a major mediator of resistance. Culturing the cells for some hours was sufficient to overcome the early block. However, as revealed by virus yield assays, monocytes after 1 day of cultivation were not as susceptible as cells after 6 days of cultivation. Viral sequences could be demonstrated in the nuclei of freshly isolated monocytes after treatment with the fusion-promoting agent polyethylene glycol. Under these conditions no DNA replication occurred, indicating that overcoming the block of viral DNA entry into the nucleus was not sufficient to break resistance of the cells. Thus, the results show that several mechanisms are involved in the primary resistance of human blood monocytes to HSV.

Abstract
Embryonic rat dorsal root ganglion neurons were cultured in a two-chamber system allowing infection of neuritic extensions without exposure of neuronal cell bodies or vice versa. Herpes simplex virus type 1 was used to infect interferon-alpha and -beta treated or untreated neurons and the production of virus and interferon was assayed. Treatment of nerve cell bodies with interferon inhibited virus replication in a dose-dependent manner, whether virus was inoculated directly onto the nerve bodies or peripherally on the neuritic extensions. In contrast no antiviral effect was noted when neurities were treated with interferon suggesting possible lack of interferon receptors on neurites. On infection with herpes simplex virus the rat sensory neuron cultures did not produce interferon in amounts above the detection limit (0.5 units per ml) of the interferon assay used.

Abstract
The replication of Pseudorabies virus (PRV) in cultured swine alveolar macrophages (AM) was studied using 6 different virus strains. AM were highly permissive to PRV infection, with progeny virus titres of 10(7) TCID50/ml from some strains. Virus progeny titres were higher in cultures infected with the field strains S-62 and 4892 than in cultures infected with the strains Bartha or PRV-C. Virus replication, viral DNA synthesis and the concomitant cell damage were dependent upon virus input m.o.i.s. and virus strain. Furthermore, cells from 7 day old pigs yielded higher virus progeny titres than cells of 6 week old pigs. The results from this study provide support to the premise that PRV infection may predispose anials to respiratory disease.

Abstract
The interaction of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) with murine macrophage cell lines was examined. The cell lines appeared to be moderately permissive for HSV-1 replication, though the yield of the virus was limited compared with that in Vero cells. Furthermore, the murine macrophage cell line SL-1, bearing Ia antigen, was persistently infected with HSV-1 for over one year, and was designated SL-1/KOS. Persistent infection could not be established in an Ia antigen-negative macrophage cell line, SL-4. In the SL-1/KOS culture, there was a small number of infected cells as revealed by infectious center assay. Treatment with monoclonal antibody against HSV-1 cured the persistent infection. Therefore maintenance of the persistent infection is considered to be due to a carrier culture consisting of a minority of infected cells and a majority of uninfected cells. In the SL-1/KOS cultures a low level of interferon (IFN) was found. When a large amount of exogenous recombinant murine IFN-beta (10(5)-10(6) international units/ml) was added to the culture, virus production diminished to undetectable levels. These results suggest that IFN plays an important role in the maintenance of persistent infection. In long-term persistently infected cultures, syncytium formation appeared and the virus from such cultures had a different DNA structure from that of the virus originally used for infection as revealed by restriction endonuclease analysis.

Splenic macrophage cultures from C57BL/6 mice resistant to infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) in vivo survived HSV infection in vitro. In contrast, macrophages from HSV-susceptible DBA/2 mice were completely lysed by the virus. During prolonged culturing, macrophages from C57BL/6 mice continued to produce infectious virus, indicating establishment of a persistent infection. At this time, interferon (IFN) was undetectable. However, as shown directly by the addition of an anti-IFN serum and indirectly by an increased activity of (2'-5')oligoadenylate synthetase, IFN was involved in the maintenance of the persistent infection. During the acute phase of virus infection, viral DNA replication was identical in macrophages from resistant or susceptible mice. Later, viral DNA content and the number of cells expressing HSV antigens decreased in macrophages from C57BL/6 mice. However, single cells remained to express viral proteins and to produce infectious particles. The results show that macrophages can be persistently infected with HSV due to their genetically controlled properties.

Abstract
We studied the interactions between rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and the RE strain of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) to determine better the role of inflammatory cells in herpetic stromal keratitis. PMN were found to be nonpermissive for HSV replication and were unable to bind virus in the absence of antibody. However, PMN did bind and internalize HSV-antibody complexes in vitro as was demonstrated visually by electron microscopic studies and quantitatively by measurement of activity associated with radiolabeled HSV-antibody complexes. Virus used for immune complex formation was labeled with either 125Iodine or 35S-methionine. In some experiments, anti-HSV IgG used for immune complex formation was labeled with 125Iodine before incubation with virus. Use of all three radiolabeling approaches resulted in the same general pattern of binding, indicating a requirement for both antibody and virus for interaction with PMN. The activity associated with PMN was increased by preincubation with complement. The results suggest an active role for PMN in controlling HSV infection through their ability to bind and ingest virus-antibody complexes.

Abstract
Macrophages derived from human peripheral blood and cultured for 1 week were permissive for the replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2. Low titers of interferon (IFN) were produced after virus infection. The yield of infectious virions was reduced by pretreatment of cells with natural and recombinant IFN-alpha and natural IFN-beta. Recombinant and natural IFN-gamma exhibited very low antiviral activity. Treatment of cells with IFN-gamma mixed with IFN-alpha or with IFN-beta did not result in a synergistic inhibition of virus yield. We studied the synthesis of HSV type 1- and HSV type 2-coded proteins in macrophages treated with IFN-beta. Induction of the HSV beta-protein DNA polymerase was strongly inhibited in IFN-treated cells in a dose-dependent manner. As shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, other beta- and gamma-proteins of HSV were inhibited as well. Immunofluorescence studies revealed a strong inhibition of the expression of immediate early alpha-protein ICP4. The results indicate that IFN acts early during the viral replication cycle to inhibit the synthesis of HSV alpha- and beta-proteins.

Abstract
Macrophages from murine bone marrow (strain C3Hf Bu/Kam) were cultured in vitro in L-cell conditioned medium. After 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days, they were infected with a clinical strain of herpes simplex virus type 1 and the outcome followed morphologically, by phagocytic index, infectious virus yields, immunofluorescence, expression of Fc receptors and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class II antigens. At a multiplicity of infection of 1-5, little morphological difference was apparent between infected and uninfected cultures at early stages in vitro but marked changes occurred later with reduction in cell numbers in the infected cultures. Indirect immunofluorescence failed to detect cells expressing early viral antigens, and yields of infectious virus indicated that permissive infection was not taking place. While phagocytic index and Fc receptor expression did not change 24 hours post-infection, MHC Class II antigen expression was increased. Thus, although the bone marrow macrophages seem predominantly resistant to infection with HSV-1, they may be modified by the presence of the virus. Since macrophages may act as antigen presenting cells for the immune system, this type of mechanism may be important in the generation of local immune responses.

Abstract
The effect of interferon on the replication of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 was studied in two murine macrophage-like cell lines which differ in their ability to synthesize interferon. Higher titers of herpes simplex virus type 1 occurred in PU5-1.8 cell cultures where interferon was not produced than in J774A.1 cell cultures where low amounts of interferon were produced. Herpes simplex virus type 2 replicated poorly in both types of cell cultures. Interferon synthesis was induced in J774A.1 cell cultures but not in PU5-1.8 cell cultures. Exogenously added interferon was shown to inhibit virus replication, however the restrictiveness of these cells to HSV replication was not relieved by treating cell cultures with anti-interferon serum. These results show that factors other than induced interferon regulate the replication of herpes simplex viruses in these cells and suggest that induced interferon synthesis does not affect herpes simplex virus replication in macrophages.

Abstract
Mouse macrophages grown from spleen cells were found to be very sensitive to the interferon (IFN) activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Therefore we have used these cells to investigate the level at which IFN blocks the replication of HSV-1. IFN treatment resulted in a strong inhibition of the induction of HSV DNA polymerase and other beta proteins. RNA hybridization experiments revealed that the amount of mRNA for the beta protein thymidine kinase was strongly reduced in IFN treated HSV-1 infected cells. Analysis of the effect of IFN on expression of the alpha genes indicated a strong inhibition of alpha protein synthesis. In contrast the synthesis of mRNA of the alpha protein ICP 4 was only moderately inhibited. The results indicate that IFN primarily acts on the translation of HSV alpha proteins.
