Abstract

SUMMARY

Infection of the lymphoblastoid CEM cell line with herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 results in a persistent infection with production of infectious virus. Evidence suggests that the persistent infection was not maintained by interferon or non-interferon-soluble antiviral inhibitors. Treatment of persistently infected cells with anti-HSV serum (termed CEM cells) or elevated temperature (39 °C) for 14 days (termed CEM cells) resulted in loss of evidence of virus. HSV DNA was not detected in CEM or CEM cells by Southern blot or hybridization. The CEM or CEM cells, however, were resistant to reinfection with homologous, parental virus (HSV), but were susceptible to heterologous virus (vesicular stomatitis virus). Resistance to reinfection with HSV was not absolute; CEM or CEM cells were less permissive to virus isolated from persistently infected cultures at times early in the course of infection, but were more permissive for HSV isolated at later times. Virus isolated later during persistent infection also displayed progressively increased virulence for the parental CEM cells. These results suggest that persistent infection of a human T lymphoblastoid cell line, CEM, with HSV-1 is maintained by a genetically determined cell-virus equilibrium, in which the resistance of cells and virulence of virus increase during persistence.
