Molecular and biological characterization of a herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) neuroinvasiveness gene.
1 Aug 1990
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenetic studies of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) strains ANG and its mouse brain-passaged descendant ANG path revealed no difference in neurovirulence but a significant difference in neuroinvasiveness. Thus, both viruses induced a fatal encephalitis in mice after direct injection into the brain, but only ANG path induced lethal neurologic disease after inoculation on rear footpads. The difference in...
