The essential components of the immune system that control primary and chronic infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in mice were investigated. Infection within the first few days can be controlled by alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) alone without significant contribution of B, T, or NK cells. IFN-alpha/beta and IFN-gamma cooperate in the elimination of virus in the absence of these lymphocytes. In contrast, B, T, or NK cells appear to be required to control persistent infection with HSV-1. These results suggest that distinct and essential immune elements are recruited in a time-dependent fashion to control acute and persistent HSV-1 infection.
对小鼠中控制单纯疱疹病毒1型(HSV-1)原发性和慢性感染的免疫系统基本组成部分进行了研究。在最初几天内的感染可仅由α/β干扰素(IFN-α/β)控制,而B细胞、T细胞或自然杀伤(NK)细胞无显著作用。在缺乏这些淋巴细胞的情况下,IFN-α/β和IFN-γ协同作用以清除病毒。相比之下,控制HSV-1的持续性感染似乎需要B细胞、T细胞或NK细胞。这些结果表明,不同且必需的免疫成分会以时间依赖的方式被募集,以控制HSV-1的急性和持续性感染。
