Freshly isolated human peripheral blood monocytes and in vitro monocyte- derived macrophages were infected with HSV type 1 and used as target cells in a cell-mediated cytotoxicity assay. PBMC from both HSV-immune and non-immune donors were stimulated in vitro for 5 days with UV- inactivated HSV Ag and used as effector cells. Effectors from HSV- immune donors mediated virus-specific lysis of both monocyte and macrophage targets, whereas effectors from non-immune donors failed to mediate target cell lysis. Mean virus-specific lysis of autologous monocytes was (8.5 +/- (+/- 2.0)%) compared to a threefold greater virus-specific lysis of autologous macrophages (24.7 (+/- 4.3)%). More than 70% of this lysis was mediated by CD16- T lymphocytes. Further analysis demonstrated that the majority of the lysis against autologous and allogeneic targets was HLA-DR-restricted and mediated by CD4+ CTL. However, CD8+ CTL also contributed to the lysis of autologous targets as well as allogeneic targets having a common HLA-A and/or -B determinant. The HLA-restricted cytotoxicity was virus-specific as HSV- infected, but not CMV-infected, cells were lysed. CTL-mediated lysis of HSV-infected monocytes and macrophages may be of significance in the anti-viral and immunoregulatory host response.
