- Virus-Cell InteractionsThe XPO6 Exportin Mediates Herpes Simplex Virus 1 gM Nuclear Release Late in Infection
The mechanisms that enable integral proteins to be targeted to the inner nuclear membrane are poorly understood. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein M (gM) is an interesting candidate, as it is dynamically relocalized from nuclear envelopes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) in a virus- and time-dependent fashion. However, it was, until now, unclear how gM was directed to the nucleus or evaded that compartment later on....
- Vaccines and Antiviral AgentsHuman Asymptomatic Epitope Peptide/CXCL10-Based Prime/Pull Vaccine Induces Herpes Simplex Virus-Specific Gamma Interferon-Positive CD107+ CD8+ T Cells That Infiltrate the Corneas and Trigeminal Ganglia of Humanized HLA Transgenic Rabbits and Protect against Ocular Herpes Challenge
There is an urgent need for a vaccine against widespread herpes simplex virus infections. The present study demonstrates that immunization of HLA transgenic rabbits with a peptide/CXCL10 prime/pull vaccine triggered mobilization of HSV-specific CD8+ T cells locally into the cornea and TG, the sites of acute and latent herpesvirus infections, respectively. Mobilization of antiviral CD8+ T cells into the cornea and...
