HSV-1-Derived Recombinant and Amplicon Vectors for Gene Transfer and Gene Therapy

Abstract excerpt

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a major human pathogen whose lifestyle is based on a long-term dual interaction with the infected host characterized by the existence of lytic and latent infections. Although in most cell types infection with HSV-1 will induce toxic effects ending in the death of the infected cells, the very deep knowledge we possess on the genetics and molecular biology of HSV-1 has...
