Using membrane-based dekapeptides, the reactivity of human serum antibodies with linear antigenic determinants of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 and type 2 glycoprotein C (gC-1, gC-2) was studied by pep scan and immunodot assay. The entire coding sequences of gC-1 and gC-2 were screened for the p

Abstract
Four monoclonal antibodies directed against glycoprotein B of herpes simplex virus were evaluated for their ability to immunize mice passively against acute virusโinduced neurological illness and death when administered intraperitoneally 2 hours prior to footpad challenge with type 1 or type 2 virus. Two monoclonal antibodies, H120 and H157, failed to reduce the severity of neurological disease in infected animals. In contrast, H233 and H368 antibodies provided significant protection in typeโcommon and typeโspecific fashions, respectively. A direct correlation was observed between in vitro neutralization and in vivo protection. These results provide the first in vivo evidence that glycoprotein gB of herpes simplex virus expresses both typeโcommon and typeโspecific determinants during the evolution of acute virusโinduced neurological disease.

A series of 67 oligopeptides that spanned the open reading frame of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) glycoprotein G (gG2) were synthesized and tested for reactivity with 173 serum specimens collected from 117 individuals. The oligopeptides were made as multiple antigenic peptides consisting of fo
