The humoral response to herpes simplex virus (HSV) was examined in 21 patients with primary HSV infection who were participating in a placebo-controlled trial of oral acyclovir as therapy for first-episode genital herpes. A standard microneutralization assay and a western blot analysis, which detects the antibody response to individual polypeptides of HSV types 1 and 2, were used. Placebo-treated, HSV type-2-infected patients typically responded to HSV type-2 polypeptides that had molecular masses of 125, 84, 68, 59, 46, and 40 kilodaltons. Treatment with acyclovir diminished the humoral response both to HSV, as measured by the type-specific neutralizing-antibody titer, and to specific polypeptides, especially those with molecular masses of 50-100 kilodaltons, a range that includes polypeptides with molecular masses corresponding to those of glycoproteins D and E of HSV.
