| Abstract | Herpes simplex virus (HSV) envelope glycoproteins are the prime targets of adaptive antiviral immunity. Previous investigation identified a protective, neutralizing, glycoprotein B1 (gB-1)-reactive monoclonal antibody (MAb B6) and localized the linear epitope recognized by the MAb to residue 84 of gB-1. Three overlapping peptides (two 20-mers and one 18-mer), together spanning amino acids 63 to 110 of the wild-type sequence of gB-1, were synthesized and analyzed for their ability to stimulate immunity which cross-reacts with HSV-1. All stimulated some level of response. Two peptides, the gB 18-mer and 20.1-mer, were recognized by MAb B6 and HSV-immune antibody but were unable to stimulate virus-neutralizing antibody or serum able to protect against zosteriform spread in vivo. The 20.2-mer peptide, however, which was not recognized by MAb B6 or HSV-generated immune antibody, stimulated the production of neutralizing antibody and serum able to protect against zosteriform spread. Immunization with all of the peptides was able to enhance viral clearance of a low dose of HSV-1 in an ear challenge model and induce antibody reactive in antibody-dependent complement-mediated lysis of HSV-1-infected cells in vitro. These results are the first report of HSV immunity induced by peptides corresponding to gB and indicate that the best immunogen, in terms of stimulating neutralizing antiserum able to protect in vivo against HSV-1, was a peptide not recognized by HSV-immune mechanisms or by the MAb used to localize it. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
