UVB induced reactivation leads to HSV1 in the corneas of virtually all latently infected mice and requires STING to develop corneal disease

Abstract Reactivation of latent herpes simplex type 1 results in virus returning to the cornea leading to recurrent herpetic stromal keratitis (rHSK). We compare two competing models to reactivate viruses from latency, UV-B irradiation and cyclophosphamide (CP). Results revealed that while both resu...
