The invention relates to a type II
herpes simplex virus strain HSV-2 / KM-1 and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
virus microorganisms. The II-type
herpes simplex virus strain HSV-2 / KM-1 is preserved in the China Center for Type Culture Collection on July 25, 2025, and the preservation number of the II-type
herpes simplex virus strain HSV-2 / KM-1 is CCTCC (China Center for Type Culture Collection) NO: V202550. The II-type herpes simplex
virus strain HSV-2 / KM-1 disclosed by the invention has
cell tropism and tends to infect genital epithelial cells; the II-type herpes simplex
virus strain HSV-2 / KM-1 is applied to
neutralizing antibody detection of mouse serum, and the instrumental effect of the II-type herpes simplex
virus strain HSV-2 / KM-1 in
immunogenicity evaluation of vaccines is disclosed. According to the invention, the II-type herpes simplex
virus strain HSV-2 / KM-1 is simultaneously utilized to successfully construct a Hartley
guinea pig genital herpes model or a BALB / c mouse genital herpes model, and the models can be used as new tools for HSV-2
vaccine evaluation.
