Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that the HSV-2 anti-apoptotic protein ICP10PK is delivered by the replication incompetent virus mutant DeltaRR and prevents kainic acid (KA)-induced epileptiform seizures and neuronal cell loss in the mouse and rat models of temporal lobe epilepsy. The present studies used DeltaRR and the ICP10PK deleted virus mutant DeltaPK to examine the mechanism of neuroprotection. DeltaRR-infected...
