Herpesvirus Replication - Part 1. Receptor Binding
MicrobeLibrary Visual: Animation
Prior to 1/1/2002 by Karin Christensen
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a nuclear replicating, icosahedral, enveloped DNA virus. |
Herpesvirus Replication - Part 2. RNA Transcription in Productive Infection
MicrobeLibrary Visual: Animation
Prior to 1/1/2002 by Karin Christensen
The transcription of the HSV genome during productive infection occurs with cellular
transcriptional machinery and viral promoters utilizing cellular transcription factor
binding sites. |
Herpesvirus Replication - Part 3. Latent Infections
MicrobeLibrary Visual: Animation
Prior to 1/1/2002 by Karin Christensen
Latent infection and reactivation by HSV takes place in sensory neurons, primarily in
the trigeminal ganglia for HSV-1. |
Herpesvirus Replication - Part 4. DNA Replication
MicrobeLibrary Visual: Animation
Prior to 1/1/2002 by Karin Christensen
HSV initiates rounds of DNA replication at one or all of the three origins of
replication (Ori 1, Ori 2, and Ori 3). |
