Abstract excerpt
Hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) and DMSO are known to induce differentiation of cultured erythroleukaemic cells and to enhance the reactivation of latent herpes simplex virus (HSV) after explantation of ganglia. We report that the presence of these compounds in cell culture medium overcomes the replication defect of in1814, an HSV-1 mutant with an insertion mutation that inactivates the virion trans-inducing...
