Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) most frequently initiates infection at a mucosal surface; thus mucosal immune responses are likely to be important in defense against HSV infection. We have examined the effects of eliciting mucosal as well as systemic immune responses on protection against genital challenge infection with virulent HSV-2 in mice immunized with a replication-defective mutant of HSV-2. In addition, we...
