In order to analyse cellular cytotoxic mechanisms involved in herpes virus infections, human peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (PBML) were incubated (sensitized) for up to 7 days with uninfected or herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-infected cells. The sensitized PBML were then tested in a 5-hr 51Cr-release microassay against uninfected, HSV-1-infected, or cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infected target cells. PBML from normal donors, sensitized with HSV-1 infected cells, exhibited strong cytotoxicity against these same cells, but not against CMV-infected target cells. Peak cytotoxic activity was found after 6 days of sensitization. In contrast, PBML from herpes patients showed an earlier (3 days) and a higher cytotoxic response than normal PBML. In both groups however, maximal stimulation of lymphocyte transformation was observed at 6 days, suggesting that the early cytotoxic response in herpes patients could be an in vitro correlate of an anamnestic, or secondary response.
