Both Viral and Host Factors Contribute to Neurovirulence of Bovine Herpesviruses 1 and 5 in Interferon Receptor-Deficient Mice
11 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 and bovine herpesviruses 1 and 5 (BHV-1 and BHV-5) can use the same cellular receptor for entry, but only HSV is known to cause disease in mice. We hypothesized that components of either the innate or the adaptive immune system, or a combination of both, were responsible for curbing replication of BHVs in mice. Therefore, wild-type mice as well as mice with various combined...
