Target Information
Feline herpesvirus 1 thymidine Kinase (TK) is a viral enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of thymidine, essential for viral DNA synthesis. In veterinary medicine, TK is a target for antiviral drugs like acyclovir, which inhibit viral replication. It is also used in vaccine development; deletion of the TK gene reduces viral virulence while retaining immunogenicity, making it a promising candidate for attenuated vaccines. Additionally, TK helps in understanding FHV-1 pathogenesis and latency.
