Alphaherpesvirus latency: its role in disease and survival of the virus in nature

C Jones - Advances in virus research, 1998 - Elsevier

The latency-associated transcript gene of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is required for efficient in vivo spontaneous reactivation of HSV-1 from latency

GC Perng, EC Dunkel, PA Geary, SM Slanina… - Journal of …, 1994 - Am Soc Microbiol
During herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) neuronal latency, the only viral RNA detected is

Quantification of transcripts from the ICP4 and thymidine kinase genes in mouse ganglia latently infected with herpes simplex virus

MF Kramer, DM Coen - Journal of virology, 1995 - Am Soc Microbiol
Herpes simplex virus establishes latency in nervous tissue in which it is maintained for the
life of the mammalian host, with occasional reactivation leading to subsequent spread …

A LAT-associated function reduces productive-cycle gene expression during acute infection of murine sensory neurons with herpes simplex virus type 1

DA Garber, PA Schaffer, DM Knipe - Journal of virology, 1997 - Am Soc Microbiol
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) persists in the human population by establishing long-term
latent infections followed by periodic reactivation and transmission. Latent infection of …

A viral function represses accumulation of transcripts from productive-cycle genes in mouse ganglia latently infected with herpes simplex virus

SH Chen, MF Kramer, PA Schaffer, DM Coen - Journal of virology, 1997 - Am Soc Microbiol
