Immunotherapy for the treatment of Herpes Simplex Virus eye infections is disclosed. The invention involves a local therapeutic or prophylactic vaccine for the eye, comprising one or more recombinant HSV-1 glycoproteins or proteins, specifically gB and gD, in combination with at least one adjuvant to reduce the incidence of primary HSV-1 infection and/or decrease spontaneous HSV-1 ocular shedding which in turn, controls recurrent corneal disease.

Immunotherapy for recurrent HSV infections

A process for obtaining Herpes Simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein I (gI) from cells which have been infected or transformed with a recombinant Baculovirus is disclosed. The gI produced is then isolated and purified for use in immunotherapy against HSV infections.

Process for the expression of herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein I

A process for obtaining Herpes Simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein E (gE) from cells which have been infected or transformed with a recombinant Baculovirus is disclosed. The gE produced is then isolated and purified for use in immunotherapy against HSV infections.
