## Abstract ## Background Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) maintains the function of photoreceptors and eyesight and is an important target for gene delivery. Since in some diseases RPE cells proliferate uncontrollably, we investigated the role of cell cycle in non‐viral gene delivery into a RPE c
A retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell line (K-1034) was examined for its susceptibility to human herpesvirus 6 variant A (HHV-6A). Exposure of K-1034 cells to HHV-6A induced the formation of multinucleated giant cells, which was suppressed by an inhibitor of viral DNA synthesis. In the giant cells
