Combined antiviral effect of interferon and acyclovir on herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2
Abstract
Acyclovir and human interferon displayed an additive to synergistic effect in reducing the number of herpes simplex viral plaque-forming units in Vero cells, suggesting a therapeutic potential for such combination therapy.
