Abstract
To better understand the contribution of T cells to the immunity of pigs to pseudorabies virus (PRV), we examined the lymphoproliferation response to this virus. Depletion studies demonstrated that both CD2+CD8+ and CD2+CD4+ cells contributed to lymphoproliferation, but to varying degrees upon stimulation with live and ultraviolet (UV) light-inactivated PRV. Flow cytometric analysis revealed the emergence of both CD2+CD8+ and CD2+CD4+ lymphoblastoid cells. To examine the contribution of specific viral proteins, we prepared immortalized porcine B cells of haplotype d/d that stably expressed a single PRV protein, and used these cells for in vitro stimulation of lymphocytes from PRV-immune miniature pigs of the same haplotype. Cells expressing PRV gB or gC induced proliferation. An immunization/challenge experiment showed that the lymphoproliferation response was stronger upon immunization with the virulent NIA-3 strain than with the attenuated Bartha strain. Upon challenge inoculation, the NIA-3-immunized pigs were almost completely immune, in contrast to the Bartha-immunized pigs. Such poorly protected pigs showed secondary B- and T-cell immune responses upon challenge. In contrast, the better protected NIA-3-immunized pigs did not show a secondary B-cell response. However, they developed a secondary lymphoproliferation response, which was quicker and stronger than in the Bartha-immunized pigs. This dichotomy between secondary B- and T-cell responses indicates that an effective T-cell memory response is able to quickly eliminate challenge virus in immune pigs, so preventing a secondary B-cell response.

Abstract
Enteroviruses are implicated as etiologic agents in the inflammatory diseases myocarditis and polymyositis. In this report, we show that a previous enterovirus exposure in mice can influence development of myocardial inflammation with a second enteroviral exposure. Inoculation of 25-day-old male C3H/HeJ mice with 10(3) or 10(5) plaque-forming units (PFU) of infectious or ultra violet (UV)-inactivated coxsackievirus B2 (CVB2), followed by inoculation 28 days later with 10(5) PFU of a myocarditic variant of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3-m) results in more intense myocardial inflammation and injury than is seen in age-matched mice inoculated with CVB3-m alone. More severe disease occurs with the lower primary dose of CVB2. Neutralizing antibody to CVB2 is detected early after primary inoculation and neutralizing antibody to CVB3 is first detected 5 days after secondary inoculation. In vitro proliferation of splenocytes from mice inoculated with one or both viruses occurs in response to both CVB2 and CVB3 antigens. We recently demonstrated that murine T cells are capable of recognizing an enterovirus group antigen. Thus cell-mediated immune responses to a conserved antigenic epitope(s) among the enteroviruses may be involved in the exacerbation of myocardial inflammatory disease during a second enterovirus infection. The secondary infection model described here may more accurately mirror virus-induced myocarditis in the human population because the majority of adults have been exposed to several enteroviruses before induction of disease.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is the causal agent of herpetic stomatitis, recurrent herpes labialis, and the recurrent intraoral infections seen particularly in the immunocompromised patient. HSV has also been implicated in some erythema multiforme, cranial neuropathies, Behçet's syndrome, and oral squamous carcinoma. Recent advances in understanding of HSV, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and treatment are reviewed because there have been numerous advances over the past 5 years.

Abstract
Murine cytomegalovirus infection of spleen cultures induced the production of a small (less than 10,000 molecular weight) immunosuppressive factor (VISF), which suppressed concanavalin-A mitogenesis in fresh mouse spleen cells, and in fresh human peripheral blood leukocytes. The factor did not affect the growth of two murine T-cell lines or of mouse fibroblasts. A similar factor was also found in the serum of infected mice, at the time of maximum immune suppression. The properties of VISF indicate that the mechanism of MCMV immune suppression is different from that caused by several other viruses which are important in human and veterinary medicine.

Abstract
Four synthetic peptides which correspond to continuous antibody epitopes of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 glycoprotein D (gD) within amino acid residues 1-23 (8-23), 268-287 and 340-356 were evaluated for in vitro stimulating activity on HSV-primed murine T lymphocytes. All peptides stimulated lymphoproliferative responses and interleukin 2 (IL2) production from draining lymph node (LN) cell populations taken 5 days after footpad immunization with live HSV. Similar responses were elicited from splenic memory T cells only if these T cells were restimulated with HSV in vitro and rested prior to peptide stimulation. Furthermore, peptide stimulated memory T cell populations released soluble factor(s) into the culture supernates which modulated the induced lymphoproliferative and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activities of HSV-stimulated, HSV-immune splenocytes (indicator cultures). Memory T cell supernates suppressed lymphoproliferation of indicator cultures, while CTL activity of indicator cultures was either enhanced or suppressed, depending on the peptide and concentration. In contrast, supernates generated by peptide stimulation of draining LN cells had no effect on CTL activity of indicator cultures. However, the lymphoproliferative responses were augmented with three of the four peptides at the highest concentration of peptides tested. Our experiments indicate T helper (Th) and T suppressor (Ts) lymphocyte recognition of four synthetic peptides which encompass continuous antibody epitopes of HSV gD. Immunization with one of these peptides (1-23) induces virus neutralizing antibodies and protection against lethal viral challenge. Th lymphocyte recognition of this peptide in particular, together with its observed function in the induction of protection against HSV infection, indicates that this peptide is a promising candidate as a synthetic vaccine against HSV infection.

Abstract
Interaction of two potential immunosuppressive factors, sublethal pesticide exposure and viral inhibition of lymphocyte mitogenesis, was examined in mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). Inbred (C57Bl/6 x A/J)F mice, semisusceptible to mouse hepatitis virus 3 (MHV3) infection were exposed to selected pesticides and subsequently infected with the MHV3 virus. The mortality of animals was examined as a function of pesticide exposure. Two pesticides were selected for further studies: the organochlorine pesticide dieldrin, which increased the cumulative mortality of animals, and the carbamate pesticide aminocarb, which did not affect the virus-induced cumulative mortality of animals. Spleen lymphocytes from dieldrin- and aminocarb-exposed C57Bl/6 mice (susceptible to MHV3 infection) were used as responder cells in one-way MLR. A marked immunosuppression of the MLR proliferative response was observed in the dieldrin group, whereas sublethal exposure to aminocarb did not affect the in vitro MLR response. The MLR cultures were subsequently infected in vitro with the MHV3 virus, which resulted in a time-dependent and virus dose-dependent inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation. However, no synergism was observed with the addition of either the MHV3 virus-induced inhibition of in vitro MLR lymphoproliferative response or dieldrin-related immunosuppression, since in vitro MHV3 infection of cells from dieldrin-exposed mice did not aggravate the dieldrin-related immunosuppression. In addition, no "hidden" aminocarb-related damage of the lymphoproliferative response was noted, as the kinetics of the virus-induced inhibition in the aminocarb group were analogous to the control. In conclusion, dieldrin-induced immunosuppression of the cellular immune response, rather than MHV3 virus-induced inhibition of lymphoproliferative activity itself, was the primary factor potentially responsible for the impaired cellular response. Furthermore, the data support the observation that cell-mediated immunity can be a potential target for the adverse effects of pesticide exposure.

Abstract
Murine cytomegalovirus infection in spleen cultures resulted in the production of a soluble factor, VISF (virus-induced suppressive factor), which inhibited concanavalin A mitogenesis in fresh spleen cells. Its production was specific for MCMV, since infection of spleen cultures by Sindbis virus, or bacteriophages PM 2 and T 4, and the phagocytosis of latex beads, all failed to elicit VISF. Maximum appearance of the factor occurred within 24 hours p.i. in spleen cultures, and its source was identified as the population of spleen cells which adhered to a plastic culture dish within two hours at 37 degrees C. Non-adherent cells did not produce the factor. Its production was not inhibited by indomethacin. VISF could be concentrated by ultrafiltration on a YM 2 membrane filter, and it was readily fractionated by chromatography on sephadex G-25. In relation to peptides of known molecular weight it appeared to be smaller than 1,400 daltons. Its ability to suppress concanavalin A mitogenesis was largely removed by digestion with proteinase K. Thus VISF appears to be a relatively small peptide or peptide-containing substance. It was purified further by HPLC.

Abstract
We used a transfected L cell and a vaccinia vector carrying the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) gene coding for glycoprotein D (gD) to characterize HSV-specific T-cell responses. Various studies with mice revealed that the vectors could stimulate some HSV-specific T-cell responses. Although the majority of the T cells contributing to the HSV-1 gD-specific proliferative response were of the Lyt-2.1+ phenotype, cytotoxic T cells (Tc), surprisingly, were not induced by these gD vectors. Even though gD appeared to be a target for a class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted killer cell, neither gD vector was capable of forming a target cell complex which could be recognized by class I MHC-restricted HSV-specific Tc. Further investigation of the gD-specific responses revealed the presence of potent suppressor cells and factors capable of inhibiting HSV-specific Tc induction in in vitro assays. One interpretation of these data is that class I MHC-restricted HSV- and gD-specific Tc do not develop during HSV infection because of active suppression.

Abstract
The severity of HSV stromal keratitis varies among inbred mouse strains, with A/J and BALB/c greater than C57BL/6. Since cell-mediated immunity (CMI) is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of HSV stromal keratitis, we measured the proliferative response of primed splenic mononuclear cells (SMC) from these strains to HSV antigen in vitro. Primed SMC from all three strains showed increased thymidine uptake after incubation with UV-inactivated HSV-1 antigen (UV-HSV) in vitro when compared with control antigen. Uptake by SMC from BALB/c and A/J mice was greater than that by SMC from C57BL/6 mice. The difference between BALB/c and A/J was not significant. Uptake by non-primed SMC cultured with UV-HSV was not significantly greater than uptake induced by control antigen. Thus, among the strains studied, A/J and BALB/c mice, which are relatively susceptible to stromal keratitis, have the greatest proliferative response to UV-HSV antigen. C57BL/6 mice, which are relatively resistant to stromal keratitis, have the least response. These findings suggest that genetically determined differences in CMI may influence the course of HSV keratitis and are consistent with the hypothesis that the host immune response plays a role in the pathogenesis of HSV stromal keratitis.

Abstract
The incubation of herpes simplex virus (HSV) immune murine splenocytes with HSV antigens induced suppressor cells which inhibited HSV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) induction. The cell mediating the suppression was identified as a Thy 1+ Lyt 2+ I-J+ cell. The induction of this suppressor cell required the participation of at least three leukocyte populations. That is, depleting the cultures of either Lyt 1+ or Lyt 2+ splenocytes resulted in a failure to induce suppressor cell activity. Likewise the removal of macrophage-like antigen-presenting cells (APC), in particular I-A- I-J+ APC, abolished suppressor-cell induction. Though the Lyt 2+ I-J+ cells had to be provided by HSV-immune mice, both the APC and the Lyt 1+ cells could be provided by HSV-naive mice. Though the induction of the suppressor cell was virus specific, its action was nonspecific as evidenced by the suppression of influenza-specific CTL induction. The implication of our results for the understanding and manipulation of herpesvirus disease is briefly discussed.

Abstract
Our study was designed to investigate the nature of an antigen-specific suppressor factor generated by antigen-stimulated herpes simplex virus (HSV)-immune splenocytes. Factor SF-200, a 90,000- to 100,000-dalton fraction obtained after Sephacryl gel filtration, suppressed the generation of HSV-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte and lymphoproliferative responses. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blot analysis of SF-200 indicated that it contained an I-J+, anti-idiotypic protein. It was possible to adsorb the suppressor activity of SF-200 to an anti-I-J immunoaffinity column. The suppressor activity could be eluted from the immunoaffinity column with a low-pH buffer. The acid-eluted material was determined to be both I-J+ and reactive with anti-HSV antiserum by Western blot analysis. Both SF-200 and the I-J+ suppressor activity suppressed only HSV-specific cell-mediated immunity responses. However, it was possible to generate nonspecific suppressor activity by incubating the I-J+ suppressor factor with Lyt 1+ splenocytes from HSV-immune mice. The implication of these results with respect to the model for a suppressor cell circuit regulating HSV-specific cell-mediated immunity responses is discussed.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-immune murine splenocytes incorporated significant levels of tritiated thymidine when incubated with UV-inactivated, heat-inactivated, and active preparations of HSV. Normal splenocytes incubated with the HSV preparations did not exhibit such proliferation. Maximum incorporation by the immune splenocytes occurred on the fifth day of culture and was mediated by Thy-1+, Lyt-1+, and Lyt-2+ cells. Attempts to correlate lymphoproliferation with other HSV-specific cellular immune responses demonstrated the complexity of this response. While T cells mediating delayed type hypersensitivity responses and cytotoxic T lymphocytes were involved in the lymphoproliferative response, neither could be considered as being exclusively associated with lymphoproliferation. Instead, lymphoproliferation appeared to be indicative of HSV-specific Lyt-1+ helper cells. Evidence was also presented that suppressor cells appeared to be involved in the regulation of the lymphoproliferative response.
