Abstract excerpt
Morphological changes in the structure of the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) viral thymidine kinase (vTK) polypeptide usually lead to conferring acyclovir (ACV) resistance. HSV-1 I4-2, in which a UAG stop codon is present at the 8th position between the 1st initiation AUG codon (1st position) and the 2nd initiation AUG codon (46th position) of the HSV-1 vTK gene, showed sensitivity to ACV. In contrast, HSV-1...
