We have studied the pathogenic and latency/reactivation potential of a herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) variant (N38) which has a deletion of four genes, US9, US10, US11, and US12, in the short unique region of the HSV-1 genome. N38 was as pathogenic as the parental wild-type virus following intracerebral infection of mice and replicated with wild-type kinetics in the brain. After intraperitoneal infection,...
