Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) remains a major cause of corneal scarring and visual loss. Although efforts have been made, no reproducible animal model is available to examine recurrent corneal disease. Here we propose a rabbit ocular model to study recurrent corneal disease using an HSV-1 mutant that reactivates with high efficiency. METHODS: Rabbits were ocularly infected with 2 x 10 PFU/eye of...
