Experimental murine HSV-1 brain infection stimulates microglial cell-driven pro-inflammatory chemokine production which precedes the presence of brain-infiltrating systemic immune cells. In the present study, we investigated the phenotypes and infiltration kinetics of leukocyte trafficking into HSV-infected murine brains. Using real-time bioluminescence imaging, the infiltration of luciferase(+)-splenocytes, transferred via tail-vein injection, into the brains of HSV-infected animals was followed over an 18 d time-course. Flowcytometric analysis of brain-infiltrating leukocytes at 5, 8, 14, and 30 d post-infection (p.i.), was performed to assess their phenotype. A predominantly macrophage (CD45hiCD11b+Ly6Chi) and neutrophil (CD45hiCD11b+Ly6G+) infiltration was seen early during infection, with elevated levels of TNF- α mRNA expression. By 14 d p.i., the phenotypic profile shifted to a predominantly lymphocytic (CD45hiCD3+) infiltrate. This lymphocyte infiltrate was detected until 30 d p.i., when infectious virus could not be recovered, with CD8+ and CD4+ T-cells present at a 3:1 ratio respectively. This T lymphocyte infiltration paralleled increased IFN-γ RNA expression in the brain. Activation of resident microglia (CD45intCD11b+) was also detected until 30 d p.i., as assessed by MHC class II expression. Activated microglial cells were further identified as the predominant source of IL-1β. In addition, infected mice given primed immunocytes at 4 d p.i. showed a significant increase in mortality. Taken together, these results demonstrate that intranasal infection results in early macrophage and neutrophil infiltration into the brain followed by prolonged microglial activation and T lymphocyte retention. Similar prolonged neuroimmune activation may contribute to the neuropathological sequelae observed in herpes encephalitis patients.
