Abstract excerpt
A mutant of herpes simplex virus type 1, vi12, encodes a DNA-binding- and transactivation-deficient ICP4 polypeptide. Because of the mutation, the vi12 virus does not grow on Vero cells but must be propagated on cells that express complementing levels of wild-type ICP4 (E5 cells). A pseudorevertant of vi12, designated pri12, was isolated on the basis of the restored ability to replicate on Vero cells. In addition...
