A molecule that could potentially be used to fight herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) has been discovered by Curtin University scientists.
The research focused on developing small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules that could silence key targets in the genetic make-up of HSV-1. Using information from previous genetic studies, researchers used computer software to identify targets for the ICP22 (US1) gene that is found in seven different strains of HSV-1.
