mRNA-seq of primary bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) infected with Herpes simplex virus-1

Primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were isolated and identified according to previously established protocols. HSV-1 strain McKrae was used for infection at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1. RNA-sequencing analysis was performed on BMDMs from both mock-infected and HSV-1-infected groups after 24h of infection.
