项目摘要

Spread of neuroinvasive herpesviruses from sensory neurons to the eye, brain or from mother to newborn, are significant causes of morbidity and mortality. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and pseudorabies virus (PRV) are representative members of the two genuses of mammalian neuroinvasive herpesviruses (Simplexviruses & Varicelloviruses). These viruses are dependent upon spread to the nervous system to establish life-long latent infections, yet very little is known regarding the neuroinvasive mechanism that underlies this remarkable trait. We propose to study the virus neuroinvasive machinery with the intent to: (i) decipher how these viruses invade the nervous system, (ii) understand the intrinsic barriers to neural infection that these viruses evade, and (iii) produce and characterize viruses lacking the neuroinvasive property as potential vaccines. These studies are designed to decode the virus tactics used to establish neural infections and our corresponding nervous system’s defenses that keep most pathogens at bay.

神经侵袭性疱疹病毒从感觉神经元传播到眼睛、大脑或从母亲传播到新生儿，是发病和死亡的重要原因。1 型单纯疱疹病毒 (HSV-1) 和伪狂犬病病毒 (PRV) 是这两个属的代表性成员。哺乳动物神经侵袭性疱疹病毒（单纯病毒和水痘病毒）这些病毒依赖于传播到神经系统来建立终生潜伏感染，但人们对神经侵袭性知之甚少。我们建议研究病毒神经侵袭机制，目的是：（i）破译这些病毒如何侵入神经系统，（ii）了解这些病毒逃避的神经感染的内在障碍，以及（iii））生产和表征缺乏神经侵袭特性的病毒作为潜在的疫苗。这些研究旨在解码用于建立神经感染的病毒策略以及我们相应的神经系统的防御机制，以阻止大多数病原体。
