Immunologically significant herpes simplex virus antigens and methods for identifying and using same
Patent number: 6962709Abstract: The invention provides HSV antigens that are useful for the prevention and treatment of HSV infection. Disclosed herein are epitopes confirmed to be recognized by T-cells derived from herpetic lesions. T-cells having specificity for antigens of the invention have demonstrated cytotoxic activity against cells loaded with virally-encoded peptide epitopes, and in many cases, against cells infected with HSV. The identification of immunogenic antigens responsible for T-cell specificity provides improved anti-viral therapeutic and prophylactic strategies. Compositions containing antigens or polynucleotides encoding antigens of the invention provide effectively targeted vaccines for prevention and treatment of HSV infection.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2002Date of Patent: November 8, 2005Assignee: University of Washington, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research CenterInventors: David M.
