An attenuated recombinant herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), designated as AD472, was constructed by deleting both copies of the γ134.5 gene, UL55-56, UL43.5, and the US10–12 region from HSV-2 strain G. This virus was engineered to be a safe and effective live attenuated HSV-2 vaccine and was tested in the guinea pig model of genital herpes to evaluate its ability to protect from disease upon challenge with the wild type (wt) virus, HSV-2 (G). AD472 administered intramuscularly did not prevent infection or virus replication in the vaginal tract, but did reduce both lesion development and severity in a dose-dependent manner in guinea pigs challenged with the wt virus. Frequency of reactivation from latency was low compared with that of the parent virus, HSV-2 (G). Immunization with AD472 at doses of 1×105PFU generally precluded colonization of the ganglia or establishment of latency by the challenge virus. Results presented here support the concept of a rationally engineered live attenuated vaccine for the prevention of the genital disease associated with infection by HSV-2.
