Enhanced Pathogenesis of an Attenuated Herpes Simplex Virus for Mice Lacking Stat1 {triangledown}

Mice lacking the Stat1 interferon signaling gene were infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or an attenuated recombinant lacking virion host shutoff ({Delta}vhs). {Delta}vhs virus-infected Stat1–/– mice showed levels of replication equivalent to that of the wild-type virus-infected control mice but reduced relative to wild-type virus-infected Stat1–/– mice. Stat1 deficiency relieves the immunomodulatory deficiency of {Delta}vhs virus, but not its inherent growth defect. Also Vhs is dispensable for reactivation.
