A Novel murine model for studying antiviral compounds against EBV.

Abstract

Animal models have been of great importance in for the study of herpes virus parthenogenesis by providing systems with which to investigate basic virological and immunological aspects of acute and latent infection, and also to evaluate chemotherapeutic and vaccination regimens.The best examples are those models used to study acute, latent and recurrent herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection.
