ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for detecting an agent for use in the treatment of herpes virus infection and use of known agents, such as 2,2′-dithiobisbenzamide (DIBA) and azodicarbonamide (ADA), and unknown agents, which selectively eject zinc bound to a zinc finger protein, for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of herpesvirus infections.
