Abstract excerpt
Human T cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-transformed T cells of rabbits were infected persistently with Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) strain KOS. These infected cells yielded syncytial mutants, either glycoprotein C (gC)-negative or -positive, which predominated over and replaced the wild-type virus in a long-term culture for 2 years. An alignment of nucleotide sequences showed multiple mutations in...
