Array Analysis of Viral Gene Transcription during Lytic Infection of Cells in Tissue Culture with Varicella-Zoster Virus
13 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a neurotropic alphaherpesvirus, causes childhood chickenpox (varicella), becomes latent in dorsal root and autonomic ganglia, and reactivates decades later to cause shingles (zoster) and other neurologic complications. Although the sequence and configuration of VZV DNA have been determined, relatively little is known about viral gene expression in productively infected cells. This is...
