Distribution of Equid herpesvirus‐1 (EHV‐1) in respiratory tract associated lymphoid tissue: implications for cellular immunity

Abstract: Summary Twelve adult ponies and 2 conventional foals were exposed intranasal to EHV‐1, strain Ab4 (TCID50 10−6.6) and samples of respiratory tract associated lymphoid tissues were recovered between 12 h and 13 days after infection. Infectious virus was detected in tissue homogenates using susceptible cell monolayers and expression of viral antigens was monitored using indirect immunoperoxidase histochemistry on paraffin sections. The results showed both infectious EHV‐1 and viral antigens in respiratory tract … Show more

“…This is the first clear definition of the cells which are specifically harbouring latent EHV-1 in the horse. While both lymphocytes and monocytes were identified as infectious in acute infections by Scott et al (1983) and Kydd et al (1994), our evidence indicates that T cells are a predominant site for latency, which is consistent with the detection of latency-associated transcripts (LATs) in leukocytes (Chester et al, 1997). The rapid appearance (at 6-12 h) of the reactivated virus is consistent with this being a primary event, and not a secondary cycle from monocytes infected during the acute phase.…”

“…Following this acute respiratory infection there is a leukocyteassociated viraemia (Scott et al, 1983) and leukopenia (Bumgardner et al, 1982 ;Allen & Bryans, 1986). During the viraemia EHV-1 has been isolated for up to 3 weeks postinfection from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, predominantly from T lymphocytes and to a lesser extent monocytes (Bumgardner et al, 1982 ;Kydd et al, 1994). This cell-associated viraemia in an acute infection has been shown to be a prerequisite for abortion and paresis by initiating replication of EHV-1 in endothelial cells in the pregnant uterus and CNS (Patel et al, 1982 ;Edington et al, 1986Edington et al, , 1991.…”

“…In accordance with the findings reported by Soboll-Hussey et al Conclusions. Due to the cell-associated viremia that is central to the in vivo infection process of EHV-1, cell-mediated immunity is considered critical in EHV-1 protection (21,22,31). As with most viral infections, a Th1-polarized immune response associated with high levels of EHV-1-specific IFN-␥ production likely contributes to protection against disease.…”

“…Although both viruses cause respiratory disease, only infection with EHV-1 results in epidemic abortion, perinatal mortality, and neurological disorders that differ in severity but often result in complete paralysis (4,21). The pathogenicity of EHV-1 is ascribed to the capacity of the virus to rapidly reach lymphoid tissues associated with the upper respiratory tract and to infect mononuclear cells that ultimately enter the bloodstream and lead to cell-associated viremia (41,78). As a result, EHV-1 can spread throughout the body by infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).…”
