Abstract excerpt
Earlier reports have shown that the d120 mutant of herpes simplex virus 1 lacking both copies of the gene encoding the infected cells protein No. 4 (ICP4) induces apoptosis in a variety of cell lines. The programmed cell death induced by this mutant is blocked by overexpression of Bcl-2 or by transduction of infected cells with the gene encoding the viral U(S)3 protein kinase. HEp-2 cells infected with the d120...
