BALB/c mice passively immunized with antibody [Ab] to herpes simplex virus type 1 [HSV-1] and challenged in the footpad with 105.7 plaque-forming units of HSV-1 were protected from neurological disease and death compared with control mice treated with normal serum or Ab to Sindbis virus. Of untreated mice, 100% had virus recoverable from dorsal root ganglia by 48 h after infection. Whereas amputation of the infected limb at 48 h had no effect, Ab administration (resulting in titers of 1:8 and 1:16) prevented acute neurological disease if administered no later than 48 h after infection. Ab restricted the extent of latent infection in the lumbosacral ganglia. Ab evidently is effective in preventing spread of virus in the peripheral nervous system and in CNS (spinal cord) tissue.
