چکیده
Addition of BrdUrd in combination with prednisolone to HSV1-transformed hamster embryo cells induces an alkaline phosphatase (AP). FdURd enhances, dThd reduces the inducing capacity of BrdUrd and prednisolone. Induction is prevented by addition of cycloheximide or of cytosine arabinoside. BrdUrd reduces transport and phosphorylation of exogenously applied labeled Urd, especially the amount of UTP, UDP and Urd-diphosphate sugars. The Lineweaver-Burk-plot of uridine-uptake after addition of BrdUrd reveals the characteristics of the mixed type inhibition (competitive-noncompetitive).

Anti-viral Effect and Mechanism of Carvacrol on Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1
Background and Aims: Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) belonging to herpes viridae family is a normal human pathogen with benign lesions in immunocompromised patients which creates serious problems. Acyclovir is used to treat herpetic infections. Because of developing drug-resistant strains, the use of medicinal plants and their related compounds with fewer side effects is considered for the ...
متن کاملIntercellular Trafficking of VP22, a Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Tegument Protein
The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) tegument protein, VP22 has been reported to have the property of intercellular transport. The previous studies have shown that following expression of a fusion protein containing VP22 it spreads to every cell in a monolayer and concentrates in the nucleus. In spite of these reports, some studies have shown that VP22 trafficking and its nucleus accumulatio...
