AB Herpes simplex virus infection of the scarified dermis results in
infection of the nervous system and, subsequently, a cutaneous lesion in
the innervated dermatome. We compared the pathogenesis of such
zosteriform lesions in mice lacking or severely depleted of CD4+ or CD8+
T cells because of targeted gene disruption. Mice without CD4+ cells
showed markedly increased susceptibility, whereas beta 2 microglobulin
knockout mice lacking CD8+ T cells were as resistant to challenge as
were immunocompetent mice with the same genetic background. Our results
demonstrate that CD4+ T cells are of primary importance in the control
of herpes simplex virus infections of the skin and nervous system.
