Abstract excerpt

Competitive quantitative PCR and reverse transcriptase-PCR were used to quantitate DNA and RNA from an attenuated ribonucleotide reductase-deleted herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutant in the rat trigeminal ganglion after peripheral inoculation following corneal scarification. Amplification...
