Using interdisciplinary tools to find cure for human herpesvirus
Paired fluorescence and phase (white light) images of uninfected neurons (top and bottom left) and neurons infected with HSV (top and bottom right). As is clearly visible in the white light images, these neurons form dense networks of connections. Fluorescent dyes can be used to stain and highlight the individual filaments of these networks (top left) as well as to detect a specific viral protein expressed during HSV infection (top right).
