Abstract excerpt
The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutant in1814 encodes an altered form of the virion protein VP16 that is unable to transactivate immediate-early (IE) transcription. As a consequence of the mutation, in1814 initiates productive replication inefficiently after infection of tissue culture cells. Previous studies showed that this defect could be overcome by the inclusion in the culture medium of hexamethylene...
