Abstract excerpt
Previous evidence suggests that the latency-associated transcript (LAT) gene of herpes simplex virus type 1 appears to have a role during reactivation of latent virus because viruses which are null mutants in this gene reactivate slowly or less efficiently than wild-type viruses. Mapping studies have shown that the LAT gene covers a region of about 8.5 kb that overlaps the ICP0 gene in the repeat long region of...
