Abstract excerpt
A broad variety of herpes simplex virus type 1 clones was selected under a single round of high-dose selection with brivudin. Mutations in the thymidine kinase (TK) genes consisted of 42% frameshift mutations within homopolymer repeats of G's and C's and single nucleotide substitutions (58%) that produced stop codons (Q261 and R281) or a new codon at the site of the substitution (A168T, R51W, G59W, G206R, R220H,...
