Enumeration and characterization of herpes simplex virus
(HSV)-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes are tedious and indirect.
We quantitated antigen-specific CD8+ T cells during acute
and secondary stages of HSV infection using intracellular gamma
interferon production upon stimulation with virus or immunodominant
peptide. Results show a substantial increase in the number of
CD8+ T cells which was otherwise underestimated with the
conventional limiting dilution analysis.
