HSV-1 infection inhibits procollagen and protein secretion from normal and ataxia telangiectasia cultured skin fibroblasts.
Human skin fibroblasts derived from a healthy individual and from a child with the genetic disorder ataxia telangiectasia were infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). The virus infection did not affect the synthesis of procollagen but inhibited its release from the cells.
