A historical analysis of herpes simplex virus promoter activation in vivo reveals distinct populations of latently infected neurones
13 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) has the capacity to establish a life-long latent infection in sensory neurones and also to periodically reactivate from these cells. Since mutant viruses defective for immediate-early (IE) expression retain the capacity for latency establishment it is widely assumed that latency is the consequence of a block in IE gene expression. However, it is not clear whether viral gene...
