โœฆ Synopsis


The type specificity of 16 herpes simplex monoclonal antibodies was tested on 50 isolates previously typed by endonuclease restriction. A panel of antibodies was selected and used to type isolates from 50 primary and 50 recurrent genital infections. Sixty-four isolates from 18 patients followed up for six months were subtyped by using a larger panel of monoclonal antibodies and predominant HSVl and HSV2 subtypes were demonstrated. In addition to confirming recurrences, four possible reinfections were identified. Type-specific differences in the location of viral antigens in infected cells were noted and a possible association of this finding with the type-specific differences in rates of recurrence of genital infections discussed.

Monoclonal antibodies specific for herpes simplex type 1 or type 2 were used in reverse passive haemagglutination tests or infectivity neutralisation tests to serotype 100 isolates of herpes simplex virus (HSV). All isolates were independently serotyped by measuring their sensitivity to bromovinyl d
