Previous studies have revealed that the RE strain of HSV type 1 (HSV-1) induces a tissue-destructive inflammatory response in the mouse cornea that is mediated by CD4 T lymphocytes, whereas the KOS strain of HSV-1 preferentially activates CD8 T lymphocytes in the cornea. Langerhans cells (LC) normally reside only at the periphery of the cornea but can migrate centripetally after HSV-1 infection. We studied the relative contribution of LC to the corneal inflammation induced by the KOS and RE strains of HSV-1. Ten days after infection, the central one-third of RE HSV-1-infected corneas contained an average of 5.7 LC/high-power field compared with 0.6 LC/high-power field in KOS-infected corneas. We hypothesized that the increased density of LC in RE HSV-1-infected corneas at the time of T lymphocyte infiltration contributed to the preferential activation of CD4 T lymphocytes in these corneas. To test this hypothesis, we gave mice a low dose of UV-B corneal irradiation (150 mJ/cm2) 1 day before infection with HSV-1. UV-B irradiation effectively prevented the migration of LC into the central cornea when measured 10 or 21 days after corneal infection with either HSV-1 strain. UV-B corneal irradiation had no effect on the CTL response to HSV-1 Ag in the regional lymph nodes after corneal infection with KOS or RE HSV-1. The delayed-type hypersensitivity response induced by both strains of virus, when measured 8 and 14 days after corneal infection, was significantly reduced by UV-B irradiation. UV-B irradiation significantly reduced the incidence (p = 0.0023) and severity (p = 0.0008) of corneal stromal disease induced by RE HSV-1 but did not significantly affect the stromal disease induced by KOS HSV-1. To distinguish between the effect of UV-B treatment on the afferent and efferent arms of the Ir in mice, we administered UV-B treatment to one eye, followed 24 h later by RE HSV-1 infection of both eyes. These mice developed a normal delayed-type hypersensitivity response, and stromal inflammation developed normally in the untreated eye. However, stromal inflammation was significantly reduced in the treated eye. Our findings suggest that LC play a critical role in the activation of HSV-reactive CD4 T lymphocytes in the cornea. Moreover, the type of corneal inflammation induced by different strains of HSV-1 may reflect their differential capacity to induce LC migration into the central cornea.
