Acycloguanosine: antiviral activity in the rabbit cornea.

M G Falcon, B R Jones
PMCID: PMC1043502  PMID: 88955

Abstract

We describe experiments, using the multiple microinoculation technique, to produce superficial herpes simplex keratitis in the rabbit cornea, which showed a potent antiviral effect of acycloguanosine.
