Host factors associated with either VP16 or VP16‐induced complex differentially affect HSV‐1 lytic infection
7 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is an important human pathogen with neurotropism. Following lytic infection in mucosal or skin epithelium, life-long latency is established mainly in sensory neurons, which can periodically reactivate by stress, leading to recurrent disease and virus transmission. During the virus's productive infection, the tegument protein VP16, a component of HSV-1 virion, is physically...
