Exposure of herpes simplex virus (HSV) latently infected subjects to ultraviolet irradiation (UVR) (1 minimum erythema dose, 90% body surface) caused a significant inhibition of HSV and phytohemagglutinin-induced lymphoproliferation. The inhibition was observed on Day 3 post-UVR and lasted at least 9 days. UVR-induced downregulation of HSV-specific lymphoproliferation was associated with increased levels of activated transforming growth factor beta. However, the relationship between UVR-induced immune downregulation and the development of recurrent HSV lesions was incomplete.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D006561 Herpes Simplex A group of acute infections caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2 that is characterized by the development of one or more small fluid-filled vesicles with a raised erythematous base on the skin or mucous membrane. It occurs as a primary infection or recurs due to a reactivation of a latent infection. (Dorland, 27th ed.) Herpes Simplex Virus Infection
