Abstract excerpt
Model systems have previously been developed in which herpes simplex virus (HSV) is retained in human fibroblasts in a nonreplicating state known as quiescence. The HSV type 1 (HSV-1) immediate-early (IE) protein ICP0, an important activator of gene expression, reactivates the quiescent genome and promotes the resumption of virus replication. Previous studies reported that infection with ICP0-null HSV-1 mutants...
