AB Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) establishes a latent infection in
sensory ganglion neurons. During latency no viral-specific proteins are
detected and virus gene expression is restricted to the
latency-associated transcripts. We report here that trigeminal ganglia
of mice with severe combined immunodeficiency contain individual sensory
neurons exhibiting restricted viral gene expression characteristic of
latency; this occurred during acute (4-6 days) infection with the
wild-type HSV-1 strain 17+ and after prolonged (4 weeks) infection with
the replication impaired HSV-1 mutant in 1814. These results indicate
that T and B lymphocytes, while important for the recovery from viral
infections, are not required for the establishment or maintenance of
latency in neurons.
