This virus' latency associated transcript allows it to lay dormant in ganglia.
The anti-melanoma drug talimogene laherparepvec is an engineered form of this organism that secretes GM-CSF. This organism's UL30 polymerase associates with its UL42 processivity factor. This organism blocks the function of TAP using its protein ICP47. This virus is the most common viral cause of erythema multiforme. This virus can enter cells after binding to Nectin-1 of glycoprotein D, and its glycoprotein B and C bind to heparan sulfate. This virus can create whitlows on the (*) fingers and hands. This virus encodes a thymidine kinase that is targeted by valacyclovir and acyclovir. This virus' latency associated transcript allows it to lay dormant in ganglia. For 10 points, name this virus responsible for both genital lesions and cold sores.
