    Herpes simplex virions. Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV 1 and HSV 2) are part of the alpha subfamily of herpesviruses. The lytic phase of infection occurs within mucoepithelial cells while the latent infection of these cells occurs in neurons. These two viruses are the cause of oral and genital herpes. [4]

    HHV Infected Cell Polypeptide 0 (ICP0) gene is expressed very early during lytic infection, and for this reason is called an immediate-early Herpes gene. In 1991, Farrell and colleagues reported that the 2.0-kb LAT intron terminates at the 5′ end with a 750-base antisense RNA complement for the ICP0 gene.

    Viral teguments can be symmetrically arranged via structural and scaffolding protein or can also be asymmetrically arranged, depending on the virus. [citation needed] Teguments are rarely [citation needed] haphazardly placed and usually involve scaffolding proteins in their formation around the nucleocapsid.
