Abstract

Reactivation of latent herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) by the immediate-early protein Vmw110 was studied by using an in vitro latency system. Adenovirus recombinants that express Vmw110 reactivated latent HSV-2. An HSV-1 mutant possessing a deletion in a carboxy-terminal region of Vmw110 reactivated latent HSV-2, whereas mutant FXE, which has a deletion in the second exon, did not. Therefore, Vmw110 alone is required to reactivate latent HSV-2 in vitro, and the region of Vmw110 defined by the deletion in FXE is important for this process.
