Methods and compositions for treating or preventing virus infections by interfering with the activity or function of Ras, the Ras pathway, the ERK pathway, MEK1/2, PKR or eIF-2 alpha, includes the use of agents which inhibit Ras or otherwise modulate anti-PKR activity. Also, a method of diagnosing such virus infections includes the use of cell lines that have an activated Ras pathway, including cell lines which have been transformed with a gene that activates the Ras pathway. The virus infections may be herpes virus infections and HSV-1 or HSV-2 infections in particular.
