RESUMO
The permissiveness of rabbit monocytes and macrophages for herpes simplex virus was examined. Peripheral blood monocytes, alveolar macrophages, and peritoneal exudate macrophages were studied for their ability to replicate herpes simplex virus strains RE and KOS. Results indicated different degrees of interaction with virus depending on the macrophage type. Only peritoneal exudate macrophages showed evidence of virus replication. Productive infection was limited, with only a small number of cells (0.02%) yielding infectious virus. Higher numbers of cells appeared to be abortively infected. Approximately 40% expressed antigens, whereas virtually all were killed by exposure to virus. Coreless particles were seen by electron microscopy in about one-third. Alveolar macrophages were also killed by virus and showed evidence of virus adsorption, but showed no indication of productive or abortive infection. Monocytes neither adsorbed nor replicated virus, and viability was unaffected. Results suggest that differences in degrees of cellular maturation or differentiation, or both, account for the spectrum of interactions seen between herpes simplex virus and rabbit macrophages.
