Polymorphisms of thymidine kinase gene in herpes simplex virus type 1: Analysis of clinical isolates from herpetic keratitis patients and laboratory strains
1 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
Drug-resistance of herpes simplex virus (HSV) is caused most frequently by mutation of the viral thymidine kinase (TK) gene. To elucidate the significance of detecting nucleotide changes of the TK gene for screening drug-resistant viruses, the frequency and variation of the genetic polymorphisms in the whole coding region of the TK gene were studied in 14 acyclovir-susceptible HSV type 1 (HSV-1) clinical isolates...
