The latency-associated transcript (LAT) is the only herpes simplex virus (HSV) gene product detectable in latently infected humans and animals. In this report, we show that a 624-bp deletion in the promoter of the HSV-2 LAT had no discernable effect on viral growth in tissue culture or in acute genital infection of guinea pigs, but impaired LAT accumulation and led to a marked decrease in spontaneous genital recurrences when compared with the behavior of wild-type and rescuant strains. Differences in the ability of the mutant to replicate, or in how readily it established or maintained latency did not account for this finding. Thus, HSV LAT expression facilitates the spontaneous reactivation of latent virus.
