Abstract excerpt
The HSV-1 thymidine kinase (TK) gene of Herpes simplex virus was inserted into plasmids pBR322, pMOB45 and pHA10. The recombinant hybrid plasmids were used to transfect a tdk- mutant of Escherichia coli (Ky895) and the synthesis of the viral TK in the bacterial host was studied. Recombinant plasmids containing the entire BamHI-BamHI DNA fragment carrying the viral TK gene and the upstream sequences containing its...
