Development of a microneutralization assay for HSV-2

Journal of Virological Methods, 2021
Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT) is the standard assay used for measuring neutralizing antibody responses to Herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2). The PRNT is a cumbersome, time-consuming and laborious assay. The development of a faster, high throughput microneutralization assay (MNA) for HSV-2 viruses carried out in a 96-well format will ...

HSV-2 transmission

Antiviral Research, 2004
A number of important risk factors for the acquisition of HSV-2 have been established including female gender, black or Hispanic ethnic origin, HIV infection, age, and increased number of sexual partners. Transmission is influenced by a number of biological factors such as sexual behavior, use of condoms, duration of relationships, and knowledge of a ...

Modeling the synergy between HSV-2 and HIV and potential impact of HSV-2 therapy

Mathematical Biosciences, 2013
Mounting evidence indicates that genital HSV-2 infection may increase susceptibility to HIV infection and that co-infection may increase infectiousness. Accordingly, antiviral treatment of people with HSV-2 may mitigate the incidence of HIV in populations where both pathogens occur. To better understand the epidemiological synergy between HIV and HSV-2,

Seroprevalence of HSV-2 in Hungary and comparison of the HSV-2 prevalence of pregnant and infertile women

Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica, 2008
Herpes simplex virus type 2 infection is a quite common but frequently asymptomatic, therefore undiagnosed condition. Genital HSV-2 infection may cause neonatal herpes, enhances HIV transmission and may play a role in infertility. To evaluate the prevalence of HSV-2 in Hungary we tested 2500 serum samples for the presence of anti-HSV-2 IgG by ELISA ...

Safety and immunogenicity of long HSV-2 peptides complexed with rhHsc70 in HSV-2 seropositive persons

Vaccine, 2011
HSV-2, the primary causative agent of genital herpes, establishes latency in sensory ganglia and reactivates causing recurrent lesions and viral shedding. Induction or expansion of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses are expected to be important for a successful therapeutic vaccine against HSV-2.
