Non-replicative herpes simplex virus genomic and amplicon vectors for gene therapy - an update

Abstract excerpt

Two major types of defective vectors have been derived from herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), non-replicative genomic vectors (nrHSV-1), and amplicon vectors. This review recapitulates the main features of both vector types and summarizes recent improvements in our understanding of virus/vector biology, particularly with regard to the critical role played by the overpowering of antiviral cellular defenses and...
