Novobiocin and coumermycin A1 inhibit viral replication and the reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1 from the trigeminal ganglia of latently infected mice.

摘要

Herpes simplex virus type 1 was reactivated from the trigeminal ganglia of latently infected mice in a quantitative and time-dependent manner. Novobiocin and coumermycin A1 reversibly inhibited the reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1. They did not inhibit viral replication in permissive cells (CV-1) but did inhibit replication in cells of neuronal origin (C1300) and acutely infected trigeminal ganglia.
