Abstract:A cell line that normally supports the replication of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 became resistant to these viruses after transformation by simian adenovirus 7. Kinetic studies of the mechanism of resistance demonstrated that both herpesviruses were able to attach to the transformed cells and express some early genomic functions, as demonstrated by the presence of low levels of viral thymidine kinase. However, isopycnic centrifugation studies of the abortive system failed to detect viral deoxyribonuclei… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
