Abstract
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) isolates were differentiated by immunoblotting analysis using a mixture of polyclonal antisera directed against HSV type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV type 2 (HSV-2) glycoprotein fractions (gB/gC of HSV-1 and gC/gE/84-kDa protein of HSV-2), since the mixed antisera recognized viral polypeptides with different molecular weights in HSV-1- and HSV-2-infected cells. Results of typing by immunoblotting analysis were consistent with those obtained by restriction endonuclease analysis of DNAs extracted from 10 HSV isolates. These results suggest that the immunoblotting technique will be applicable to reliable typing of HSV isolates using polyclonal antisera showing the difference in reaction patterns between HSV-1- and HSV-2-infected cells.
