ApoE4 is more efficient than E3 in brain access by herpes simplex virus type 1
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) plays a relevant role in herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) infection of the CNS; after infection by the hematogenous route, the viral neuroinvasiveness directly depends on the APOE gene dose. To analyze the effect of ApoE isoforms on the HSV-1 infectivity to the brain, we have used a model of hematogenous infection of mice humanized for the ApoE3 or the ApoE4 alleles, and we have analyzed the...
