Abstract excerpt
In a blind study, DNA from 40 clinical isolates of herpes simplex viruses was analyzed by restriction endonucleases to determine whether serial isolates from an individual patient could be identified and whether exogenous reinfection occurred within this population. Five of the 40 isolates served as controls. Based on restriction patterns obtained following Bam H1 cleavage of DNA, 35 isolates were assigned to 15...
