Experimental trigeminal ganglion and corneal infection in mice was studied with three thymidine kinase-positive (TK+) strains of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and eight TK−HSV-1 mutants. Viruses were extensively tested in cell culture to determine whether any were temperature sensitive (ts) for virus replication or for TK activity. TK−mutants were no moretsthan were TK+viruses. By arabinosylthymine testing and measurement of thymidine phosphorylation, it was apparent that some TK−mutants were, in fact, intermediate for TK activity (TK±). After corneal inoculation of individual viruses it was observed with one exception that TK−, TK±, and TK+viruses replicated in ocular tissues (3 days postinoculation, 2.2 × 103–1.1 × 105PFU/eye). However, TK−mutants were rarely isolated from trigeminal ganglia (<2.5–<5.6 × 10−1PFU/mg), whereas TK+and to a lesser degree TK±viruses were frequently (1.2 × 103–1.2 × 104PFU/mg and 3.2 × 100–2.1 × 103PFU/mg).In vivocomplementation studies were performed by corneal inoculation of TK−−TK−and TK−−TK−virus mixtures. TK+HSV complemented TK−virus since significant amounts of TK−HSV were isolated from trigeminal ganglia (complementation indices were >60–>1600). In addition, after inoculation of certain TK−–TK−pairs, complementation in ganglia was observed (complementation indices were >2.4–>120). These studies support the hypothesis that HSV-1 TK expression is necessary for sensory ganglion (neuron) infection in three ways: HSV-1 TK mutants that replicated in ocular tissues and were nottsmutants did not replicatein vivoin trigeminal ganglia; (ii) there was a correlation between level of viral TK activity and trigeminal ganglion virus titer; and (iii) when complemented by TK+or TK−HSV, TK−virus replicated in trigeminal ganglia.
