ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are immunologically active preparations of Herpes simplex virus envelope glycoproteins, gD-1 and gD-2. Preferably purified through use of a monoclonal anti-gD antibody immunodsorbent, gD-1 and gD-2 preparations are incorporated in vaccines useful in generating immunological responses protective against Herpes simplex virus disease states. Disclosed also is the preparation and use in vaccination procedures of synthetic polypeptides comprising amino acid squences which are: (1) substantially common to both gD-1 and gD-2; (2) cumulatively hydrophilic in nature; (3) specifically immunoreactive with a type common, monoclonal anti-gD antibody of Group VII classification. Vaccines incorporating the synthetic polypeptides give rise to protective immunological responses, e.g., they protect mice against Herpes simplex.
