Abstract

A topically applied mixture containing two small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules shows promise in protecting female mice against herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infections, according to Judy Lieberman, director of the Division of AIDS at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Mass., and her collaborators. The goal is to develop this candidate product into a safe and effective ointment that will protect women against this virus, she says, noting: “There’s never been a topical antiviral agent approved for human use.”
