Mice depleted of T cells by in vivo administration of anti-TCR monoclonal antibodies showed susceptibility against an intravaginal infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). The systemic Th1 response was impaired in the T-cell-depleted mice. Mice deficient in the V1 T subset were susceptible to an intravaginal infection with HSV-2. Intraepithelial T cells bearing V1 may help protect against intravaginal infection with HSV-2 through promoting the systemic Th1 response.
