I've heard that Ganciclovir does not need to be activated by the viral thymidine kinase so that that is one of the reasons it is most toxic to humans vs Acyclovir; however, I have also heard that it, too, like Acyclovir, requires activation.
Or is it that Ganciclovir does not need to be activated by a "virus-specific" thymidine kinase? Whatever that means?
