Enhancement of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) DNA synthesis in infected cells that constitutively express the BglII-N region of the HSV-2 genome
The BglII-N fragment of the herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) genome encodes one of two known transforming regions of this DNA virus. In this study, we report the derivation of HeLa S3 cells (2DC4) that stably ...
