Abstract
Anterograde transport of herpes simplex virus (HSV) from its site of synthesis in the neuronal cell body out the neuronal process to the mucosal membrane is crucial for transmission of the virus from one person to another, yet the molecular mechanism is not known. By injecting GFP-labeled HSV into the giant axon of the squid, we reconstitute fast anterograde transport of human HSV and use this as an assay to uncover the underlying molecular mechanism. HSV travels by fast axonal transport at velocities four-fold faster (0.9 microm/sec average, 1.2 microm/sec maximal) than that of mitochondria moving in the same axon (0.2 microm/sec) and ten-fold faster than negatively charged beads (0.08 microm/sec). Transport of HSV utilizes cellular transport mechanisms because it appears to be driven from inside cellular membranes as revealed by negative stain electron microscopy and by the association of TGN46, a component of the cellular secretory pathway, with GFP-labeled viral particles. Finally, we show that amyloid precursor protein (APP), a putative receptor for the microtubule motor, kinesin, is a major component of viral particles, at least as abundant as any viral encoded protein, while another putative motor receptor, JIP 1/2, is not detected. Conventional kinesin is also associated with viral particles. This work links fast anterograde transport of the common pathogen, HSV, with the neurodegenerative Alzheimer's disease. This novel connection should prompt new ideas for treatment and prevention strategies.

Abstract
Mutants of cell lines and viruses are important biological tools. The pathway of herpesvirus particle maturation and egress are contentious issues. The mutant gro29 line of mouse L cells is defective for egress of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) virions, and a candidate for studies of virus-cell interactions. The properties of uninfected and HSV-1-infected L fibroblasts and gro29 cells investigated by protein assay, immunoblot, titration assay, immunofluorescence light microscopy and immunogold cryosection electron microscopy are reported. The ultrastructure of both HSV-1-infected L and gro29 cells confirmed primary envelopment of virions at the nuclear membranes followed by maturing multiple de-envelopments and re-envelopments in the endoplasmic reticulum and in the Golgi complex. The gro29 cells presented changed cytoskeleton, abolished egress of virions, and were defective in the trafficking of glycoproteins, giving rise to accumulation of viral particles and glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex. The results suggest that gro29 cells harbour a causal underlying defect of the cytoskeleton in addition to the HSV-1-induced cytoskeletal changes.

Abstract
Membrane glycoproteins of enveloped animal viruses are synthesized, processed, and transported inside infected cells. Expression of viral glycoproteins on the surface of viral particles and host cells are essential for many biologic functions. In the case of herpes simplex virus, the glycoprotein molecules may act as nucleation points for virus assembly and budding at the nuclear membrane. The temporal distribution of herpes simplex virus type 1 particles and glycoproteins in cultured human fibroblasts was studied by titration plaque assay, immunoblots, immunofluorescence light microscopy, and immunogold cryosection electron microscopy to describe the virus-cell interactions. These concordant analyses revealed significant release of infectious viral particles to the medium at 6 hours postinfection, that the capacity of the host cells to make infectious viral particles was complete at 18 hours postinfection, and that the infection brought time-related modifications of tubulin, cell morphology, and viral glycoproteins. The data presented is in accord with the theory of envelopment at the nuclear membranes containing immature glycoproteins followed by multiple deenvelopments and reenvelopments of the virus particles during the transport and maturation in the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex.

Abstract
During herpesvirus egress, capsids bud through the inner nuclear membrane. Underlying this membrane is the nuclear lamina, a meshwork of intermediate filaments with which it is tightly associated. Details of alterations to the lamina and the inner nuclear membrane during infection and the mechanisms involved in capsid transport across these structures remain unclear. Here we describe the fate of key protein components of the nuclear envelope and lamina during herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection. We followed the distribution of the inner nuclear membrane protein lamin B receptor (LBR) and lamins A and B(2) tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP) in live infected cells. Together with additional results from indirect immunofluorescence, our studies reveal major morphologic distortion of nuclear-rim LBR and lamins A/C, B(1), and B(2). By 8 h p.i., we also observed a significant redistribution of LBR-GFP to the endoplasmic reticulum, where it colocalized with a subpopulation of cytoplasmic glycoprotein B by immunofluorescence. In addition, analysis by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching reveals that LBR-GFP exhibited increased diffusional mobility within the nuclear membrane of infected cells. This is consistent with the disruption of interactions between LBR and the underlying lamina. In addition to studying stably expressed GFP-lamins by fluorescence microscopy, we studied endogenous A- and B-type lamins in infected cells by Western blotting. Both approaches reveal a loss of lamins associated with virus infection. These data indicate major disruption of the nuclear envelope and lamina of HSV-1-infected cells and are consistent with a virus-induced dismantling of the nuclear lamina, possibly in order to gain access to the inner nuclear membrane.

Abstract
Because cell cultures are essential in biological research which involves the analysis of virus morphogenesis, this study focused on examining the significance of cell passages. Human embryonic lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) at passage (P) 27 were seeded twice a week to P 32, P 40, and P 48, when just at confluence and then infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). The structure of the non-virus-infected (MOCK) and HSV-1 infected cells, the amount of cellular infectious virus particles and the capability to express HSV-1 glycoproteins C (gC-1) and D (gD-1) were investigated by phase-contrast and immunofluorescence light microscopy, immunogold cryosection EM, plaque assays, immunoblots, and total protein assays. Modified cell structure including fragmentation of tubulin fibers were visible in MOCK from P 38 onwards. The quantity of vimentin remained unchanged while actin accumulated and beta-tubulin decreased in HSV-1 infected late P cells compared to early P cultures. Cells of high P counts contained significantly fewer infectious virus particles, very likely of lower virulence, and their expression of gC-1 and gD-1 were concordantly reduced. These observations indicate that the number of cell P must be considered in order to reproduce results of cell biology and viral morphogenesis. The MRC-5 cells ought not to be passaged more than ten times beyond P 27 in the laboratory.

Abstract
Cell biology concerns the interactions between different cellular compartments and between the cell and the environment. The mechanisms of herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) envelopment and the transport of virus particles and HSV-1 glycoproteins have not been completely investigated. It is of interest to examine the formation of complete virus particles and the cellular distribution of viral glycoproteins correlated with microtubules. The illustration of these conditions by immunocytochemistry is best done by multiple labelling techniques in the same cell. Single-staining of neighbouring serial sections or two-face double-immunolabelling methods are not technically compatible with ultrathin cryosections. The results are reported here of a simultaneous, simple and reliable immunogold double-staining technique using primary antibodies of the same species in ultrathin cryosections. Compared to other inactivation procedures, phosphate-buffered 3% paraformaldehyde plus 2% glutaraldehyde for 2 h at room temperature is an excellent and gentle method to destroy free anti-IgG binding sites on the antibodies and to prevent cross-labelling, which has proven necessary for obtaining reproducible results on cellular distribution of tubulin and viral glycoproteins gD-1 and gC-1.

Abstract
Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) binds to nucleotide sequences between -80 and -70 bp upstream of the transcriptional start site in the interleukin-8 (IL-8) promoter and is crucial for transcription of the IL-8 gene. We showed that exogenous nitric oxide in the form of a nitric oxide donor significantly reduced IL-8 mRNA in cytokine-activated ECV304. Similarly, nitric oxide significantly reduced migration of polymorphonuclear neutrophils through cytokine-activated ECV304 monolayers, an IL-8-dependent process. Using a luciferase reporter construct containing the NF-κB site of the IL-8 gene, we showed that exposing cytokine-activated ECV304 to exogenous nitric oxide resulted in significant reduction of NF-κB binding. Follow-up studies using a luciferase reporter construct possessing a mutated NF-κB site confirmed that the luciferase activity observed in the NF-κB reporter resulted from NF-κB binding. These studies demonstrate that nitric oxide, supplied exogenously into reactions containing activated endothelium, down-regulates pro-inflammatory activity, such as the secretion of chemokines, and functional activity, such as transendothelial migration of neutrophils. Key words: interleukin-8, nuclear factor κ B, transendothelial migration, nitric oxide.

Abstract
Using membrane-based dekapeptides, the reactivity of human serum antibodies with linear antigenic determinants of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 and type 2 glycoprotein C (gC-1, gC-2) was studied by pep scan and immunodot assay. The entire coding sequences of gC-1 and gC-2 were screened for the presence of linear epitopes by pep scan. Peptides recognized in an HSV-1 type-specific manner were mainly identified within the N-terminal third and at the C-terminus of gC-1, whereas most type-common antibodies were directed against colinear peptides within the central parts of gC-1 and gC-2. The type-specific reaction of human sera with gC-2 peptides in pep scan was poor. Eight peptides identified as immunoreactive by pep scan were further tested in immunodot assay for their reactivity with a human serum panel. None of the eight HSV-negative sera gave positive results by immunodot assay. Positive reactions with gC peptides were found to be strongly age-dependent, i.e., the rate of positive reactions was significantly higher in HSV-positive adults than in HSV-positive children. Antibody reactivity with two type-common gC peptides was demonstrated in 17 out of 28 HSV-positive sera. A putative type-specific gC-2 peptide employed in immunodot assay was inconsistently recognized by human sera. Twenty HSV-positive sera reacted with at least 1 of 5 type-specific gC-1 peptides. Nine sera showing no reactivity with glycoprotein G of HSV-1 (gG-1) by immunobloting recognized type-specific gC-1 peptides in immunodot assay. Thus, gC-1 peptides might allow the detection of HSV-1-specific antibodies in individuals showing no reactivity with commonly employed HSV-1-specific diagnostic antigenes, i.e., purified or recombinant gG-1.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a common human pathogen of skin and mucous membranes and is potentially dangerous when the infection is disseminated. Viral morphogenesis, especially the mechanism of viral envelopment and the exact pathway for processing and transport of HSV-1 glycoproteins, is still unclear. We report the results of optimized immunogold-labeled cryosection electron microscopy of HSV-1-infected cultured human fibroblasts (MRC-5). The simplified method presented has proved necessary to obtain reproducible results on cellular distribution of viral glycoproteins. It is now possible to demonstrate the viral glycoprotein gD-1, but not gC-1, in the nuclear membranes and to demonstrate gD-1- and gC-1-labeled viral particles in the perinuclear space, and to show the fate of the viral particles in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi area in infected cells.

Abstract
Pretreatment of murine (BALB/3T3) cells with either murine or recombinant hybrid human B/D interferon (IFN) blocked the release of infectious herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) from treated cells. The block in replication was not due to an effect on attachment of HSV-1 to the target cells or to toxic effects of IFN. Immunoblot analyses showed that murine IFN significantly reduced the expression of virus-specific proteins in IFN-treated cells. In contrast, B/D IFN had no major effect on the expression of viral proteins in treated cells. In support of the above observation, electron microscopy of virus-infected cells displayed formation of nucleocapsids within the nucleus of IFN-treated cells. However, the expression of glycoproteins B and D was reduced in B/D IFN-treated cells. These results suggested that murine IFN blocked HSV-1 replication at an early stage whereas B/D IFN inhibited HSV-1 replication at a late stage in virus morphogenesis.

Abstract
Pretreatment of human neuroblastoma cells with an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), staurosporine or H-7, prior to the addition of human alpha interferon (HuIFN-alpha), recombinant HuIFN-alpha, or recombinant HuIFN-beta blocked the inhibitory effect of these IFNs on the release of infectious herpes simplex virus type 1 from treated cells. In addition, staurosporine blocked the inhibitory effect of HuIFNs on the expressions of herpes simplex type 1 glycoproteins B, C, and D in treated neuroblastoma cells. Furthermore, addition of HuIFNs resulted in an increased expression of PKC in treated neuroblastoma cells. These results suggest that inhibitors of PKC block the expression of HuIFN-induced genes in treated human neuroblastoma cells. Thus, the activation of PKC is an important step in the HuIFN-treated cells of neuronal origin.

Abstract
We have used the glycoprotein gB of herpes simplex virus type 1 (gB-1), which buds from the inner nuclear membrane, as a model protein to study localization of membrane proteins in the nuclear envelope. To determine whether specific domains of gB-1 glycoprotein are involved in localization in the nuclear envelope, we have used deletion mutants of gB-1 protein as well as chimeric proteins constructed by replacing the domains of the cell surface glycoprotein G of vesicular stomatitis virus with the corresponding domains of gB. Mutant and chimeric proteins expressed in COS cells were localized by immunoelectron microscopy. A chimeric protein (gB-G) containing the ectodomain of gB and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of G did not localize in the nuclear envelope. When the ectodomain of G was fused to the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of gB, however, the resulting chimeric protein (G-gB) was localized in the nuclear envelope. Substitution of the transmembrane domain of G with the 69 hydrophobic amino acids containing the membrane anchoring domain of gB allowed the hybrid protein (G-tmgB) to be localized in the nuclear envelope, suggesting that residues 721 to 795 of gB can promote retention of proteins in the nuclear envelope. Deletion mutations in the hydrophobic region further showed that a transmembrane segment of 21 hydrophobic amino acids, residues 774 to 795 of gB, was sufficient for localization in the nuclear envelope. Since wild-type gB and the mutant and chimeric proteins that were localized in the nuclear envelope were also retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, the membrane spanning segment of gB could also influence retention in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
The gB glycoprotein of herpes simplex virus type 1 is involved in viral entry and fusion and contains a predicted membrane-anchoring sequence of 69 hydrophobic amino acids, which can span the membrane three times, near the carboxy terminus. To define the membrane-anchoring sequence and the role of this hydrophobic stretch, we have constructed deletion mutants of gB-1, lacking one, two, or three predicted membrane-spanning segments within the 69 amino acids. Expression of the wild-type and mutant glycoproteins in COS-1 cells show that mutant glycoproteins lacking segment 3 (amino acids 774 to 795 of the gB-1 protein) were secreted from the cells. Protease digestion and alkaline extraction of microsomes containing labeled mutant proteins further showed that segment 3 was sufficient for stable membrane anchoring of the glycoproteins, indicating that this segment may specify the transmembrane domain of the gB glycoprotein. Also, the mutant glycoproteins containing segment 3 were localized in the nuclear envelop, which is the site of virus budding. Deletion of any of the hydrophobic segments, however, affected the intracellular transport and processing of the mutant glycoproteins. The mutant glycoproteins, although localized in the nuclear envelope, failed to complement the gB-null virus (K082). These results suggest that the carboxy-terminal hydrophobic region contains essential structural determinants of the functional gB glycoprotein.

Abstract
An extract of culture medium of Lentinus edodes mycelia, JLS-S001, significantly blocked the release of infectious herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) from African green monkey kidney cells. The block in replication was not due to the effect of JLS-S001 on the adsorption and penetration of HSV-1 to the monkey kidney cells. This observation was supported by the fact that JLS-S001 had no significant effect on the expression of virus-specific nucleocapsid proteins in the treated cells. Furthermore, electron microscopy demonstrated the presence of nucleocapsids within the nuclei of the infected and JLS-S001-treated cells. However, the expression of glycoproteins B, C, D, E and I was reduced in the JLS-S001-treated cells. These results suggested that JLS-S001 blocked HSV-1 replication at a late stage in virus replication cycle probably in the assembly and budding of nucleocapsids and subsequent egress from the treated cells.

Abstract
Brefeldin A (BFA), a fungal metabolite, significantly inhibited the release of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) from infected human fibroblast cells. Electron micrographs of HSV-1-infected and BFA-treated human cells demonstrated the presence of enveloped particles trapped between outer and inner nuclear membranes. Analyses of viral glycoproteins B, C, and D (gB, gC, and gD) showed faster migrating, immature forms in BFA-treated cells when compared to the mature glycoproteins, as observed in the untreated control cells. The shift in mobilities of the glycoproteins in BFA-treated cells apparently was due to the disassembly of the Golgi complex when evaluated by an indirect immunofluorescence assay. The immature forms of gB, gC, and gD could not be detected on the surface of BFA-treated human fibroblast cells. Removal of BFA resulted in a reorganization of the Golgi complex and formation of fully glycosylated gB, gC, and gD. Moreover, the HSV-1 particles released from the treated cells after the removal of BFA completely restored the infectivity of the viral particles. Our results indicate that human fibroblast cells have an endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi cycling pathway.

Abstract
Treatment of African green monkey kidney cells with 1 microgram/ml of (S)-1-[(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonyl methoxy) propyl] cytosine (HPMPC) inhibited the release of infectious herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) by more than 90%. Electron microscopic observations of HPMPC-treated monkey kidney cells demonstrated few intracellular or extracellular viral particles. The viral particles seen were without dense cores. In addition, HPMPC blocked cell fusion induced by HSV-1 in monkey kidney cells. Immunoblot analysis showed that HPMPC significantly blocked the expression of HSV-1-specific proteins. Furthermore, HPMPC inhibited the synthesis of viral DNA as determined by in situ hybridization. These results indicate that HPMPC inhibits the replication of HSV by blocking one of the events involved in DNA synthesis.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein C (gC-1) elicits a largely serotype-specific immune response directed against previously described determinants designated antigenic sites I and II. To more precisely define these two immunodominant antigenic regions of gC-1 and to determine whether the homologous HSV-2 glycoprotein (gC-2) has similarly situated antigenic determinants, viral recombinants containing gC chimeric genes which join site I and site II of the two serotypes were constructed. The antigenic structure of the hybrid proteins encoded by these chimeric genes was studied by using gC-1- and gC-2-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) in radioimmunoprecipitation, neutralization, and flow cytometry assays. The results of these analyses showed that the reactivity patterns of the MAbs were consistent among the three assays, and on this basis, they could be categorized as recognizing type-specific epitopes within the C-terminal or N-terminal half of gC-1 or gC-2. All MAbs were able to bind to only one or the other of the two hybrid proteins, demonstrating that gC-2, like gC-1, contains at least two antigenic sites located in the two halves of the molecule and that the structures of the antigenic sites in both molecules are independent and rely on limited type-specific regions of the molecule to maintain epitope structure. To fine map amino acid residues which are recognized by site I type-specific MAbs, point mutations were introduced into site I of the gC-1 or gC-2 gene, which resulted in recombinant mutant glycoproteins containing one or several residues from the heterotypic serotype in an otherwise homotypic site I background. The recognition patterns of the MAbs for these mutant molecules demonstrated that (i) single amino acids are responsible for the type-specific nature of individual epitopes and (ii) epitopes are localized to regions of the molecule which contain both shared and unshared amino acids. Taken together, the data described herein established the existence of at least two distinct and structurally independent antigenic sites in gC-1 and gC-2 and identified subtle amino acid sequence differences which contribute to type specificity in antigenic site I of gC.

Abstract
A recombinant baculovirus (vAc-gC1) was constructed that expresses the glycoprotein C (gC) gene of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). When Sf9 cells were infected with this recombinant, a protein that was smaller in size than authentic HSV-1 gC was detected by Western blotting using anti-gC polyclonal antibody. The recombinant gC was susceptible to tunicamycin, partially resistant to Endo-H, and was found on the membrane of Sf9 cells. Antibodies raised in mice to recombinant gC reacted with gC from HSV-1 infected cells and neutralized the infectivity of HSV-1 in vitro. Immunized mice were protected from lethal challenge with HSV-1.

Abstract
A recombinant baculovirus (vAc-gB1) was constructed which expresses the glycoprotein B (gB) gene of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). When Sf9 cells were infected with these recombinant viruses, a protein that was close in size to authentic HSV-1 gB was detected by gB polyclonal antibody. The recombinant gB was found on the membrane of Sf9 cells and was susceptible to tunicamycin, glycosidase F (PNGase F) and partially susceptible to Endo-H. Antibodies raised in mice to this recombinant recognized viral gB and neutralized the infectivity of HSV-1 in vitro. Mice inoculated with the recombinant gB were protected from lethal challenge with HSV-1.

Abstract
The expression of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) glycoproteins on the surface of human neuroblastoma cells has been investigated using Millipore Millicell culture plate inserts. Utilizing a modified radioimmunoassay, we learned that glycoproteins B, C, D, E, and I were expressed predominantly on the apical membrane domain of the infected neuroblastoma cells. The unidirectional transport of HSV-2 glycoproteins was substantiated by the analysis of extracellular glycoproteins released from neuroblastoma cells. The results suggest that the evaluated HSV-2 glycoproteins were transported primarily to the apical plasma membrane domain of human neuroblastoma cells.

Abstract
Antibody therapy holds great promise for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and viral infections. Murine monoclonal antibodies are relatively easy to produce but are severely restricted for therapeutic use by their immunogenicity in humans. Production of human monoclonal antibodies has been problematic. Humanized antibodies can be generated by introducing the six hypervariable regions from the heavy and light chains of a murine antibody into a human framework sequence and combining it with human constant regions. We humanized, with the aid of computer modeling, two murine monoclonal antibodies against herpes simplex virus gB and gD glycoproteins. The binding, virus neutralization, and cell protection results all indicate that both humanized antibodies have retained the binding activities and the biological properties of the murine monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract
Simultaneous immunocytochemical triple staining of ultrathin cryosections of herpes simplex virus type 1-infected cells was carried out using monoclonal antibodies specific for glycoprotein C, glycoprotein D and alpha + beta tubulin. The viral glycoproteins were identified in the cytoplasm, in the Golgi sacs, on the plasma membrane and on the surface of intra- and extracellular virus particles, but not on the nuclear membrane. The glycoproteins identified in the cytoplasm outside the Golgi region were not always confined to the membranes of vesicles, but were often located in close proximity to the tubulin-labelled structures. The glycoproteins C and D were usually codistributed in the cytoplasm, and both accumulated in the Golgi sacs in the same membrane domains. As the glycoproteins occur in close proximity to the microtubular structures, we speculate that these might be directly involved in the intracellular transport of viral glycoproteins.

Abstract
Eight monoclonal antibodies that recognize a serodiagnostically important 58-kDa antigen of Aspergillus fumigatus were produced and partially characterized. 2-7, 2-12, and 2-14 are of the immunoglobulin M class, and 2-2-1, 2-2-4, 2-2-6, 2-2-9, and 2-2-13 are all immunoglobulin G1(kappa) antibodies. Immunoblot analysis with A. fumigatus mycelial extract demonstrated that all of the monoclonal antibodies recognize a major 58-kDa antigen. The antigen was also detected by immunoblot analysis of 4- and 7-day culture filtrate preparations. 2-2-1, 2-2-4, and 2-2-6 cross-reacted with an antigen of approximately 55 kDa from an extract of Candida albicans. 2-7, 2-12, 2-14, and 2-2-4 formed a precipitin band with immunoaffinity-purified 58-kDa antigen by immunodiffusion. Results from indirect immunofluorescence assays with 2-7 and 2-2-9 showed fluorescent staining mainly on the surfaces of conidia and hyphae, indicating that the 58-kDa antigen may be cell wall associated. 2-2-9 and 2-2-13 and antibodies in patient and immune rabbit sera precipitated the [35S]methionine-labeled 58-kDa antigen. The 58-kDa antigen immunoprecipitated by each of the antibodies was enzymatically cleaved by Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease; one cleavage product, a 35-kDa fragment, was generated, indicating that the precipitated antigens share primary structure. Immunoblot analysis with an immunoaffinity-purified 58-kDa antigen showed that sera from patients with invasive aspergillosis reacted with the same antigen as that recognized by the monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract
Human alpha interferon (IFN) significantly inhibits the replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 in human neuroblastoma cells. This inhibitory effect can be blocked by pretreatment with antiserum to IFN. We observed no significant differences in the expression of major nucleocapsid proteins, including VP5, between IFN-treated and untreated neuroblastoma cells. Electron micrographs demonstrated that there were distinct viral nucleocapsids within IFN-treated neuroblastoma cells. The expression of glycoproteins B and E was significantly reduced in these IFN-treated cells. On the other hand, glycoprotein D, although reduced in quantity, was expressed after IFN treatment. An immunofluorescence assay of the IFN-treated and virus-infected cells detected glycoprotein D in the Golgi complexes and in the nuclear membranes. Our results indicate that human alpha IFN may be useful in the study of gene expression in IFN-treated cells of neuronal origin.

Abstract
Vaccinia virus recombinants expressing glycoproteins B (vgB11), D (VgD52), E (gE/7.5 and gE/4B), G (gG-vac), H (gH-vac), and I (gI-vac) of HSV-1 were used to compare the protective response to these individual glycoproteins in the mouse. Glycoprotein D induced the best neutralizing antibody titers and the most increased rates of HSV clearance from the ear as well as good protection from the establishment of latent HSV infections in the sensory ganglia. Glycoprotein B also induced good neutralizing antibody titers and as great a protection from the establishment of latency as gD although the rate of virus clearance from the ear was not as great as after immunization with gD. Glycoprotein E induced weak neutralizing antibody but gG, gH, and gI did not show a neutralizing antibody response. At higher challenge doses of virus (10(6) PFU HSV-1 in the ear), gE induced a protective response by increasing the rate of virus clearance and reducing the acute infection of ganglia as compared to negative control immunized mice. However there was no protection from the establishment of latent infections after immunization with gE. No protective response was seen to gG, gH, or gl.

Abstract
Glycoprotein C from herpes simplex viruses types 1 and 2 (gC-1 and gC-2) acts as a receptor for the C3b fragment of the third component of complement. Our goal is to identify domains on gC involved in C3b receptor activity. Here, we used in-frame linker-insertion mutagenesis of the cloned gene for gC-2 to identify regions of the protein involved in C3b binding. We constructed 41 mutants of gC-2, each having a single, double, or triple insertion of four amino acids at sites spread across the protein. A transient transfection assay was used to characterize the expressed mutant proteins. All of the proteins were expressed on the transfected cell surface, exhibited processing of N-linked oligosaccharides, and bound one or more monoclonal antibodies recognizing distinct antigenic sites on native gC-2. This suggested that each of the mutant proteins was folded into a native structure and that a loss of C3b binding by any of the mutants could be attributed to the disruption of a specific functional domain. When the panel of insertion mutants was assayed for C3b receptor activity, we identified three distinct regions that are important for C3b binding, since an insertion within those regions abolished C3b receptor activity. Region I was located between amino acids 102 and 107, region II was located between residues 222 and 279, and region III was located between residues 307 and 379. In addition, region III has some structural features similar to a conserved motif found in complement receptor 1, the human C3b receptor. Finally, blocking experiments indicated that gC-1 and gC-2 bind to similar locations on the C3b molecule.

Abstract
The role of glycosylation in transport and expression of HSV-1 glycoproteins on the surface of HSV-1-infected African green monkey kidney cells was investigated by using tunicamycin (TM). A concentration of 0.05 microgram/ml of TM inhibited the replication of HSV-1 by greater than 99%. Immunoblot analysis of TM-treated and virus-infected cells indicated that 0.05 microgram/ml of TM blocked the addition of N-linked oligosaccharides into glycoproteins B, C and D. An immunofluorescence assay of TM-treated (0.05 and 0.1 microgram/ml) and virus-infected cells demonstrated the presence of nonglycosylated gC, gD and a reduced amount of gB on the surface of infected cells. The results suggest that the addition of N-linked oligosaccharides on the studied HSV-1 glycoproteins was not necessary for their transport and expression on the virus-infected cell surface.

Abstract
The target specificity of natural killer (NK) cells for either tumor cells or virus-infected cells has been investigated. Lymphocyte clones with the surface phenotype of NK cells (CD3-, CD16+) were obtained by limiting dilution of peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with PHA, Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), or Varicella-Zoster antigens. Clones were maintained in media with recombinant interleukin 2 (IL-2). Both NK-sensitive (K562 cells) and NK-resistant (Raji cells) targets were lysed by three cloned lines of NK cells. The ability to lyse NK-resistant target cells was largely lost when the cloned lymphocytes were cultured overnight in the absence of IL-2. Effector cells from all three clones were also capable of specifically lysing HSV-1 infected human fibroblasts in comparison with uninfected fibroblasts. We also showed that lysis of HSV-1 infected targets by NK cloned cells was independent of interferons in the culture system.

Abstract
The mechanism of intracellular maturation and sorting of herpes simplex virus type I glycoproteins is not known in details. To elucidate the intracellular sorting of viral glycoproteins and their possible interaction with the cytoskeleton, a method for simultaneous immunogold staining of three antigens in ultrathin cryosections is described. Each antigen is stained by an indirect technique using mouse monoclonal IgG as first layer, rabbit anti-mouse IgG as second and gold-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG as third layer antibody. After each staining cycle the sections are covered by methyl cellulose and exposed to paraformaldehyde vapour at 80 degrees C for 30 min. This destroys the free antigen combining sites of the second and the third layer IgG and abolish contaminating staining. Simultaneous triple-staining is documented with three mouse monoclonal antisera specific for 1) herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein C, 2) glycoprotein D and 3) alpha- and beta-tubulin as primary antibodies. Labelling for virus glycoproteins was found in some Golgi vesicles and close to the cytoplasmic microtubules as well as on the cell surface and on intracytoplasmic and extracellular virus particles.

Abstract
Glycoprotein B (gB) of Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) plays an essential role in viral entry. A set of more than 100 HpaI (GTTAAC) linker insertion mutations and their derivatives were isolated in plasmids specifying the gB coding and flanking sequences. Mutations including addition, deletion and nonsense mutations at 34 independent sites were identified by DNA sequence analysis of 48 plasmids. A map was constructed for the ability of addition mutants to complement a gB-null virus. The expression of gB activity for some plasmids was temperature-dependent. Many complementation-negative plasmids inhibited the complementation activity of a plasmid specifying wild-type gB, suggesting an interaction between active and inactive molecules to form oligomers. The interaction was localized to 328 of the total of 904 amino acids comprising gB. Partial Endo H digestion of nonsense polypeptides revealed that five of the six potential N-linked oligosaccharide sites are glycosylated; the most C-terminal site appears not to be glycosylated. A number of mutations, including some on the cytoplasmic side, were identified that blocked processing, transport and secretion. Addition mutations that blocked processing of membrane polypeptides also blocked processing and secretion when combined into a nonsense mutant that by itself was processed and secreted. The previously predicted membrane spanning domain and the membrane orientation of the N-terminal portion of gB were confirmed.

Abstract
The genome of herpes simplex virus 1 consists of two components, L and S, each containing unique sequences flanked by inverted repeats. Current and earlier studies have shown that 11 of the 12 open reading frames contained in the unique sequences of the S component can be deleted and are dispensable for growth in cell culture. Analyses of one recombinant virus containing a deletion in the open reading frame US7 permitted the identification of a monoclonal antibody specific for the product of this gene. The protein encoded by this gene has a predicted translated molecular weight of 41,366 and an apparent molecular weight of approximately 65,000 in denaturing polyacrylamide gels. The electrophoretic mobility of the protein synthesized by cells in the presence of inhibitory concentrations of tunicamycin is faster than that of the protein accumulating in lysates of untreated infected cells. We conclude that the product of US7 is glycoprotein subject to N-linked glycosylation, and we have designated it glycoprotein I. These studies indicate that the unique sequences of the S component encode four glycoproteins (G, D, I, and E) of which at least three (G, I, and E) are dispensable for growth in continuous lines of primate cells.

Abstract
The effects of passive immunization with specific monoclonal antibodies against herpes simplex virus glycoproteins gB, gC, gD, and gE on the course of herpetic keratitis, survival and the establishment of latency in an outbred mouse model are described. A total of nine monoclonal antibodies were tested in these experiments. Passive immunization at 24 or 48 hours post-inoculation had little effect on the severity of the initial epithelial infection of the cornea, but blocked dissemination of the virus to the central nervous system and periocular tissues and prevented development of blepharitis, iritis and stromal keratitis. Additional studies are needed to characterize these monoclonal antibodies in greater detail, and to define the mechanism of these protective effects.
