I was amazed when I read that the herpes family viruses can activate her2 bc. I wonder if there is more research concerning the virus and her2 bc link besides the article that I will post below? I've googled and found nothing yet, but will keep trying. I seems herpes virus actives the perferred deleterous heterdimerizing partner for her2 to be active in bc, HER3. I've read nothing else in the literature to confirm activation of HER3 other than the herpes virus.
