Antagonizing the Glucocorticoid Receptor Impairs Explant-Induced Reactivation in Mice Latently Infected with Herpes Simplex Virus 1
10 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) establishes lifelong latent infections in neurons within trigeminal ganglia (TG); periodically, reactivation from latency occurs, leading to virus transmission and recurrent disease. Chronic or acute stress increases the frequency of reactivation from latency; how this occurs is not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone stimulated...
