Abstract excerpt
The tegument is an integral and essential structural component of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) virion. The UL37 open reading frame of HSV-1 encodes a 120-kDa virion polypeptide which is a resident of the tegument. To analyze the function of the UL37-encoded polypeptide a null mutation was generated in the gene encoding this protein. In order to propagate this mutant virus, transformed cell lines that...
