Translational Compensation of a Frameshift Mutation Affecting Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase Is Sufficient To Permit Reactivation from Latency
27 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase is important for reactivation of virus from its latent state and is a target for the antiviral drug acyclovir. Most acyclovir-resistant isolates have mutations in the thymidine kinase gene; however, how these mutations confer clinically relevant resistance is unclear. Reactivation from explanted mouse ganglia was previously observed with a patient-derived drug-resistant...
