HSV-2- and HIV-1- permissive cell lines co-infected by HSV-2 and HIV-1 co-replicate HSV-2 and HIV-1 without production of HSV-2/HIV-1 pseudotype particles. [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a major cofactor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) sexual acquisition and transmission. In the present study, we investigated whether HIV-1 and HSV-2 may interact at the cellular level by forming HIV-1 hybrid virions pseudotyped with HSV-2 envelope glycoproteins, as was previously reported for HSV ...

LAT region factors mediating differential neuronal tropism of HSV-1 and HSV-2 do not act in trans. [PDF]
After HSV infection, some trigeminal ganglion neurons support productive cycle gene expression, while in other neurons the virus establishes a latent infection.

HSV-2: in pursuit of a vaccine [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections worldwide. In addition to recurrent genital ulcers, HSV-2 causes neonatal herpes, and it is associated with a 3-fold increased risk for HIV acquisition. Although many HSV-2 vaccines have been studied in animal models, few have reached clinical trials, and ...

The Ticking CLOCK of HSV-2 Pathology [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is the causative agent of genital herpes. Matsuzawa et al have demonstrated that, in a mouse model, HSV-2 pathology is influenced by the time infection occurs. Increased expression of the HSV-2 receptor Nectin-1 under the control of CLOCK coincided with an increase in viral titer suggesting that HSV-2 infection is ...

Elsberg syndrome in HSV-2 infection
Elsberg syndrome (ES) is a neuroinflammatory disease that causes acute or subacute lumbosacral radiculitis, with or without myelitis which accounts for approximately 5-10% of cauda equina syndrome and myelitis. We herein present a case of a middle-aged female who recently returned from the Dominican Republic and presented to the emergency room with ...

Expansion of the HSV-2-specific T cell repertoire in skin after immunotherapeutic HSV-2 vaccine [PDF]
ABSTRACT The skin at the site of HSV-2 reactivation is enriched for HSV-2-specific T cells. To evaluate whether an immunotherapeutic vaccine could elicit skin-based memory T cells, we studied skin biopsies and HSV-2-reactive CD4 + T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells ...

Dynamics of HSV-2 infection with a therapeutic vaccine [PDF]
Herpes-Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a lifelong infection, which has infected over 400 million individuals aged 15-49 years, worldwide. While the disease can be treated with episodic and suppressive antiviral drugs to reduce the rate of recurrence (i.e., symptomatic disease) and viral shedding, none of the currently available therapies can clear the ...

Effect of genital herpes on cervicovaginal HIV shedding in women co-infected with HIV AND HSV-2 in Tanzania. [PDF]
To compare the presence and quantity of cervicovaginal HIV among HIV seropositive women with clinical herpes, subclinical HSV-2 infection and without HSV-2 infection respectively; to evaluate the association between cervicovaginal HIV and HSV shedding ...
