    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Immunology
    • Virology

    Background:

    • F(ab)"2-fragments, derived from gamma globulin, can be detected within cells.
    • Dendritic keratitis is a viral eye infection often caused by the herpes simplex virus.
    • Current treatments may have limitations, necessitating exploration of novel therapeutic approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the intracellular presence and therapeutic potential of F(ab)"2-fragments in treating ocular infections.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of herpes simplex antibodies (pepsin-split gamma globulin) in managing dendritic keratitis.
    • To assess the combined effect of local antibody therapy and trifluorothymidine on herpes simplex virus ocular infections.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental demonstration of intracellular F(ab)"2-fragments.
    • Application of pepsin-split gamma globulin (herpes simplex antibodies) in dendritic keratitis cases.
    • Comparative analysis of monotherapy versus combination therapy (antibody therapy + trifluorothymidine).

    Main Results:

    • F(ab)"2-fragments were successfully demonstrated within cells.
    • Herpes simplex antibodies showed effectiveness in treating dendritic keratitis.
    • A significant additive therapeutic effect was observed when local antibody therapy was combined with trifluorothymidine.

    Conclusions:

    • Intracellular F(ab)"2-fragments represent a potential therapeutic modality for ocular infections.
    • Local antibody therapy using pepsin-split gamma globulin is a viable treatment for dendritic keratitis.
    • Combination therapy with local antibodies and trifluorothymidine offers enhanced efficacy for herpes simplex virus-induced keratitis.
