Abstract excerpt
Given their generous transgene capacity and inherent neurotropism, herpes simplex virus (HSV-1)-based viral vectors are promising tools for gene delivery to the central nervous system. Despite their widespread pre-clinical use, vector toxicity remains a concern with regard to the use of herpes vectors in humans. One potential source of toxicity stems from the tegument-associated virion host shutoff protein (vhs),...
