title: Human cytotoxic T cell clones directed against herpes simplex virus-infected cells. III. Analysis of viral glycoproteins recognized by CTL clones by using recombinant herpes simplex viruses.
abstract: Human cytotoxic T cell (CTL) clones specific for herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1- and type 2-infected cells were generated and were analyzed with regard to the viral glycoproteins they recognize on autologous HSV-infected cells. By use of target cells infected with wild-type HSV strains, a gC deletion mutant of HSV-1, and HSV-1 X HSV-2 intertypic recombinants, some HSV-1-specific CTL clones were found to be directed against L region-encoded gA/B-1, and others against S region-encoded glycoproteins (gD-1 or gE-1). Some HSV-2-specific clones were found to be directed against L region-encoded gC-2, whereas others were directed against S region-encoded glycoproteins (gD-2, gE-2, or gG). These findings provide direct evidence that several HSV glycoproteins that are expressed on the surface of HSV-infected cells serve as recognition structures for human HSV-specific CTL.
