Interferon Alpha Induces Establishment of Alphaherpesvirus Latency in Sensory Neurons In Vitro
29 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several alphaherpesviruses, including herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and pseudorabies virus (PRV), establish lifelong latency in neurons of the trigeminal ganglion (TG). Although it is thought that efficient establishment of alphaherpesvirus latency is based on a subtle interplay between virus, neurons and the immune system, it is not clear which immune components are of major importance for the...
