Abstract excerpt
The variability of herpes simplex viruses has been measured using the RNAse A mismatch cleavage method in two genes: thymidine kinase and glycoprotein B of both HSV-1 and HSV-2. This technique permitted us to study the variability of the virus with a greater level of resolution than restriction endonuclease analysis. The phylogenetic trees obtained for the different genes allowed us to identify consistent...
