Interaction of ICP34.5 with Beclin 1 Modulates Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Pathogenesis through Control of CD4<sup>+</sup>T-Cell Responses
17 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is an important component of host innate and adaptive immunity to viruses. It is critical for the degradation of intracellular pathogens and for promoting antigen presentation. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection induces an autophagy response, but this response is antagonized by the HSV-1 neurovirulence gene product, ICP34.5. This is due, in part, to its interaction with the essential...
