Abstract excerpt
The influence of the thymidine (Thd) kinase (TK) of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) on the intracellular uptake and anabolism of nucleosides has been investigated. To compare the differences between the TK-positive (TK(+)) and TK-deficient strains, acyclovir (ACV)-resistant strains were cloned from a cell culture and classified into 2 groups, viz. the TK-partial (TK(p)) and TK-negative (TK(-)). The cellular...
