Abstract
Disclosed is a new, effective and general methodology to prevent viral infection, which methodology is divided into two parts: 1) induction of the apoptosis (programmed cell death) of a host upon viral infection to block viral reproduction; and 2) the use of an apoptosis triggering gene, the persistency-associated gene 1 (pag1, now renamed as hem1 in light of the position thereof in the restriction map of the Hz-1 viral genome) to prevent the viral infection.
