Abstract excerpt
The coding sequences for the bacteriophage P1 recombinase Cre were cloned into the genome of a herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutant which is severely impaired for the synthesis of immediate early (IE) proteins. The resulting recombinant, virus in1372, expressed functional Cre which mediated the excision in trans of loxP-flanked sequences located in the HSV-1 genome, both in tissue culture cells and in vivo...
