Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutants lacking the ICP34.5 gene are severely attenuated in mouse models and have a significant growth defect in confluent mouse embryo fibroblasts. Previously, ICP34.5 was demonstrated to have a crucial role in evading the innate immune response to infection by mediating the dephosphorylation of eIF2alpha, a translation initiation factor phosphorylated by PKR during the...
