“…With the above results, the reduced expression of the UL11 could affect the viral replication. The ICP22 ( Fraser and Rice, 2007 ; Li et al, 2020 ), ICP27 ( Tang et al, 2019 ), and ICP4 ( Frasson et al, 2021 ) are immediate early genes, and UL11 ( Yang et al, 2021 ), UL16 ( Oshima et al, 1998 ; He et al, 2012 ), UL21 ( Yang et al, 2020 ), gE ( Po’ka et al, 2017 ) and gB ( Ramachandran et al, 2010 ) are late genes, and the US3 ( Labiuk et al, 2010 ) is an early gene. Nevertheless, how DPV UL11 takes part in the viral replication process, we still do not know.…”
