A component of herpes virus which allows it to rapidly and successfully invade the nervous system by 'hijacking' the machinery inside human cells has been identified by researchers at Northwestern Medicine. Led by Gregory Smith, associate professor in immunology and microbiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, researchers found that viral protein 1-2, or VP1/2, allows the herpesvirus to interact with cellular motors, known as dynein.
