Axonal entry and retrograde transport define HSV-1 latency establishment and reactivation potential in neurons

Christina Pantoja, Audrey Danielle Loaiza, Khanh T. Y. Luong, Orkide Ö. Koyuncu

This study shows that HSV-1 latency and reactivation depend on axonal entry and retrograde transport, with competition among viral particles affecting outcomes.
