We compared apoptosis induction in mice following three routes of infection. After intravenous infection, wild-type herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 and US3Delta mutants infected the adrenal gland and caused apoptosis. Corneal infection with wild-type virus resulted in apoptosis in a fraction of infected epithelium cells. Interestingly, many uninfected cells were apoptotic in the retina. Although neurons...
