Overview

At 5 to 7 months after corneal inoculation of herpes simplex virus type 1 in mice, explants of ocular tissue yielded virus. Immunoperoxidase study of explants undergoing reactivation revealed herpes simplex virus antigens in retinal tissue. These results indicate that herpes simplex virus can establish and maintain latency in ocular tissue, most probably in the retina.
An intact complement system dampens cornea inflammation during acute primary HSV-1 infection.
