Herpes simplex virus type 1 induces nuclear accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau in neuronal cells
18 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a neurotropic virus that remains latent in host neurons. Viral DNA replication is a highly structured process in which the redistribution of nuclear proteins plays an important role. Although tau is most widely known as a microtubule-associated protein found in a hyperphosphorylated state in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), this protein has also been...
