- The role of the humoral immune response in herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is largely unknown. The finding that herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV 1) induced IgG Fc receptor binds to all IgG subclasses except IgG 3 prompted an investigation of anti-HSV activity in IgG subclasses from serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in ten patients with proven or highly probable HSE by means of a monoclonal antibody IgG subclass-specific solid-phase radioimmunoassay (SPRIA). In contrast to serum, CSF contained no or low anti-HSV IgG titres during the first 2 weeks of disease in five of seven patients tested. The IgG titres rose thereafter for at least 4 weeks after the start of illness and remained high in both serum and CSF up to 393 days. The anti-HSV IgG subclass distribution in serum was IgG 1 (ten of ten), IgG 2 (two of ten), IgG 3 (six of ten), and IgG 4 (six of ten). Two patients had a simultaneous anti-HSV IgG 3 and IgG 4 response. With the exception of one patient lacking anti-HSV IgG 4 and two patients lacking anti-HSV IgG 2, the subclass distribution in CSF was the same as in serum. The anti-HSV subclass distribution in sera from ten seropositive patients without evidence of recent herpes infection did not differ from that of the HSE patients, except that five of ten patients had simultaneous anti-HSV IgG 3 and IgG 4 responses. Thus we could not correlate the anti-HSV subclass response in patients with HSE with the subclass preference of the HSV-induced Fc receptor.
