Abstract excerpt
The generation of recombinant herpes simplex virus to study the effect of engineered mutations on viral biology relies on the isolation of recombinants from a mixed population of viruses following a marker transfer procedure. Currently, the E. coli lacZ or green-fluorescent protein (GFP) genes are most frequently used as markers for isolation and isolation of recombinants relies on visual screening of plaques....
