Titelvariante(n): | Evaluation of a dominant-negative recombinant herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 as a vaccine against genital herpes in mice und guinea pigs | Autor(en): | Brans, Richard | Affiliationen: | Fachgebiet Dermatologie, Umweltmedizin und Gesundheitstheorie, Universität Osnabrück, Sedanstr. 115, 49090, Osnabrück. rbrans@uni-osnabrueck.de | Erscheinungsdatum: | 2010 | Journal: | Der Hautarzt : Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete | Volumen: | 61 | Ausgabe: | 12 | Startseite: | 1073 | Seitenende: | 1078 | Zusammenfassung: | Genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. Currently, no safe and effective vaccine against HSV is available. CJ9-gD is a completely replication-defective HSV-1 recombinant which inhibits replication of wild-type HSV-1/-2 in co-infected cells (dominant-negative effect). Moreover, it expresses high levels of HSV-1 major antigen glycoprotein D (gD). Immunization with CJ9-gD induces strong and long-lasting humoral and Th1-like cellular immune responses against both HSV-1 and HSV-2 in mice protecting immunized animals significantly against genital challenge with HSV-1 or HSV-2. Guinea pigs immunized with CJ9-gD were significantly protected against primary and recurrent HSV-2 genital disease and latent infection. |
