The Use of Microfluidic Neuronal Devices to Study the Anterograde Axonal Transport of Herpes Simplex Virus-1
2020
Understanding how herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) interacts with different parts of the neuron is fundamental in understanding the mechanisms behind HSV-1 transport during primary and recurrent infections. In this chapter, we describe a unique neuronal culture system that is capable of compartmentalizing neuronal cell bodies from their axons to study the transport of HSV-1 along axons. The ability to separate neuronal cell bodies and axons provides a unique model to investigate the mechanisms used by HSV-1 for viral transport, assembly, and exit from different parts of the neuron.
