Hepatic infection by thymidine kinase-positive and thymidine kinase-negative herpes simplex virus after partial hepatectomy.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection of mouse liver after partial hepatectomy was studied. Partial hepatectomy resulted in the rapid onset of cellular DNA synthesis and the appearance of many mitotic figures (peak, 3 days after surgery). Similar changes were not seen in control animals. After partial hepatectomy, the mice were infected with thymidine kinase-positive (TK+) and -negative (TK-) HS...
متن کاملInitiation of herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase polypeptides.
When employed as a transgene reporter, the herpes simplex type 1 virus (HSV1) thymidine kinase gene (tk) is ectopically expressed in mouse testis. The principal testicular mRNA lacks the 5'-end of the tk reading frame. As a result the principal translation products, P2 and P3, are N-terminally truncated. These co-migrate in SDS-PAGE with polypeptides synthesised during HSV1 infection that were ...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies to herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase.
Purified herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase has been used to immunize mice for the production of monoclonal antibodies to the enzyme. Monoclonal antibodies were successfully produced against both herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 enzymes. These antibodies should prove useful for detecting the enzyme under a variety of experimental conditions. We also demonstrate that the antibodies can ...
متن کاملSubstrate Diversity of Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV 1) thymidine kinase (TK) exhibits an extensive substrate diversity for nucleobases and sugar moieties, in contrast to other TKs. This substrate diversity is the crucial molecular basis of selective antiviral and suicide gene therapy. The mechanisms of substrate binding of HSV 1 TK were studied by means of site-directed mutagenesis combined with isothermal calori...
متن کاملAltered properties of thymidine kinase after infection of mouse fibroblast cells with herpes simplex virus.
Previous studies have shown that, after infection by herpes simplex virus (HSV) or vaccinia virus, thymidine kinase activity was induced in either LM mouse fibroblast cells or LM(TK-) cells, a mutant subline lacking this enzyme activity. At 5 to 7 hr after infection, the enzyme activities induced by these viruses in the LM(TK-) cells were about three times as high as those found in exponentiall...
