Using a combination of gene-targeted mice and neutralizing
antibodies, we showed that interleukin-12 (IL-12) and IL-18 are important in the innate control of genital herpes simplex virus type 2 infection but were not found to be critical, either singly or in
combination, for the development of a protective gamma
interferon-mediated immune response.
