Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1)-TK (8UAG) expresses a truncated thymidine kinase (TK) translated from the second initiation codon due to a stop codon (UAG) at the 8th position (counted from the first initiation codon). Here, we showed that the sensitivity of HSV-1-TK (8UAG) to acyclovir (ACV) is similar to that of the control HSV-1 wild-type (WT), which expresses an intact TK protein. However, HSV-1-TK (44UAG),...
