Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) U(S)1 gene encodes host-range and ocular virulence determinants. Mutations in U(S)1 affecting virulence are known in strain OD4, but the genomic variation across several strains is not known. The goal was to determine the degree of sequence variation in the gene from several ocular HSV isolates. METHODS: The U(S)1 gene from six ocular HSV-1 isolates, as well as...
