Funded Activity Summary

The occurrence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in the general population is very high (up to 60%). HSV enters the human body via the skin before entering nerve cells where it lies dormant in most people. Intermittently the virus reactivates and usually forms blisters at the skin when it sheds. The aim of this project is to define a molecular interaction network at the protein level during the course of infection of a host cell. This information will provide new targets for design of antivirals.
