Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the pathogenicity of a US3 protein kinase-deficient mutant (L1 BR1) of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) for 4-week-old ICR mice to define the role of the viral protein kinase in virus-host interaction. When mice were intraperitoneally infected with 10(5)PFU of L1 BR1, the virus disappeared from the peritoneal cavity by 2 days postinfection and failed to induce any significant...
