Herpes Simplex Virus Type‐1 (HSV‐1) Entry into Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Is Heavily Dependent on Heparan Sulfate
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Hematopoietic stem cells recipients remain susceptible to opportunistic viral infections including herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1). The purpose of this investigation was to analyze susceptibility of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) to HSV-1 infection and identify the major entry receptor. Productive virus infection in hMSCs was confirmed by replication and plaque formation assays using a syncytial HSV-1...
