Two alphaherpesvirus latency-associated gene products influence calcitonin gene-related peptide levels in rat trigeminal neurons
Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) initially infects mucoepithelial tissues of the eye and the orofacial region. Subsequently, the virus is retrogradely transported through the axons of the trigeminal sensory neurons. HSV-1 establishes a life-long latent infection in these neurons, during which the...
