Identification of novel virus-specific antigens by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from asymptomatic HSV-2 seropositive and seronegative donors
چکیده انگلیسی
Reactivation of latent herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) infections can be characterized by episodic recurrent genital lesions and/or viral shedding. We hypothesize that infected (HSV-2pos) asymptomatic individuals have acquired T cell responses to specific HSV-2 antigen(s) that may be an important factor in controlling their recurrent disease symptoms. Our proteomic screening technology, ATLAS™, was used to characterize the antigenic repertoire of T cell responses in infected (HSV-2pos) and virus-exposed seronegative (HSV-2neg) subjects. T cell responses, determined by IFN-γ secretion, were generated to gL, UL2, UL11, UL21, ICP4, ICP0, ICP47 and UL40 with greater magnitude and/or frequency among cohorts of exposed HSV-2neg or asymptomatic HSV-2pos individuals, compared to symptomatic recurrent HSV-2pos subjects. T cell antigens recognized preferentially among individuals who are resistant to infection or who are infected and have mild or no clinical disease may provide new targets for the design of vaccines aimed at treating and/or preventing HSV-2 infection.
