Abstract excerpt
The lytic cycle functions of gammaherpesviruses have received relatively little attention to date, at least in part due to the lack of a convenient experimental model. The murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) now provides such a model and allows the roles of individual lytic cycle gammaherpesvirus proteins to be evaluated in vivo. We have used MHV-68 to determine the contribution of a gammaherpesvirus thymidine...
