Monocytes separated from blood specimens of healthy voluntary blood donors were infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 or 2. The amount of interferon produced by the HSV-exposed monocytes was found to be donor-specific and was similar whether tested with HSV I or HSV 2. The interferon levels in
Sensitivity of herpes simplex virus (HSV) isolates, from patients with recurrent infections, to human fibroblast ~3 interferon (IFN), was tested in vitro. Among 25 HSV strains, 12 were HSV-1, isolated from facial and labial lesions, and 13 were HSV-2 isolated from genital lesions. Viral sensitivity
