ELVIRA HSV, a Yield Reduction Assay for Rapid Herpes Simplex Virus Susceptibility Testing

Abstract: A colorimetric yield reduction assay, ELVIRA (enzyme-linked virus inhibitor reporter assay) HSV, was developed to determine the antiviral drug susceptibilities of herpes simplex virus (HSV). It uses an HSVinducible reporter cell line. This simple and rapid assay has an objective readout, low inoculum size, and good reproducibility. The results correlate well with those of the plaque reduction assay.The prevalence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections caused by a drug-resistant virus in immunocompromised pat… Show more

“…While the IC 50 of ACV on HSV-1 KOS replication was 7.7 M, the KOS-derived DP mutant HSV-1 strains PAA r 5, F891C, PFA r 2 and PFA r 5 and the TK mutant HSV strains 98.14742-PE/1, O24, and 97-12961 showed a 2-13-fold decrease in susceptibility to ACV when compared with the parental HSV-1 KOS strain (Table 3). These results correlate well with previous studies [30]. The replication of the DP mutant HSV-1 strains PAA r 5, F891C, PFA r 2 and PFA r 5, the TK mutant HSV-1 strains 98.14742-PE/1 and 97-12961 and the TK mutant HSV-2 strain O24 was inhibited by APHS at concentrations ranging from 24 to 191 M. The IC 50 values of APHS for all ACV-resistant HSV strains tested were statistically …”

“…Similar cell lines have been described for several other viruses (34). We and others generated reporter cell lines for herpesviruses, including herpes simplex virus, B virus, HHV-8, and VZV (7,17,34,42,47). Two reporter cell lines for HCMV that depend on the activation of the UL54 (DNA polymerase) promoter were also published previously (13,45).…”

“…Genotypic tests were mainly performed through direct sequencing of tk and DNA pol to determine viral susceptibility based on databases of mutations related to ACV resistance. 5,7,8,[12][13][14][15][16] On the other hand, phenotypic evaluations, including plaque reduction assay (PRA), 17 dye uptake assay, and virus yield reduction assay, [18][19][20][21][22] were largely conducted on HSV infections that induced the cytopathic effect. These assays are time consuming, laborious, and hence inconvenient for routine clinical screening.…”
