Herpes simplex virus latency in immunosuppressed mice. 1984

A Rotula, and D Di Luca, and G Gerna, and R Manservigi, and M Tognon, and E Cassai

To determine the role of antibodies in establishing Herpes simplex virus (HSV) latency, immunosuppressed Swiss mice were experimentally infected in the right hind footpad with a HSV-1 x HSV-2 recombinant (C6D) with low virulence. Immunosuppression was induced by repeated intraperitoneal inoculations of Cyclophosphamide (CY) and the production of antibodies to C6D in immunosuppressed animals was monitored by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Within 21 days after inoculation, C6D was able to establish a latent infection of lumbosacral spinal ganglia in both normal and CY-treated immunosuppressed animals. The data presented indicate that detectable production of antibodies is not necessary to induce HSV latency in spinal ganglia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007108 Immune Tolerance The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc. Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune
D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
