Abstract excerpt
Competitive quantitative PCRs were used to examine the consequences of stereotactically injecting a highly attenuated herpes simplex virus type 1 mutant into rat brains. This mutant virus, designated RR1CAT/RR2lacZ, was engineered so that coding sequences of the genes UL39 and UL40 specifying the subunits of the viral ribonucleotide reductase were replaced by the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) and the...
