Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the mechanism by which HSV passes though cellular membranes. We successfully identified several viral or cellular factors which promote passage through cellular membranes of HSV. As these steps are essential for viral life cycle, our results may indicate new prophylactic and therapeutic approaches for the development of antiherpetic drugs.
