Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Herpes simplex virus (HSV) establishes latency in ganglionic neurons of the peripheral nervous system, from which it can reactivate, causing recurrent disease and possible transmission to a new host. Current anti-HSV therapy does not eliminate latent HSV, and thus is only suppressive rather than curative. We developed a potentially curative approach to latent HSV infection and pathogenesis, base...
