varicella-zoster virus-induced dna polymerase.	nuclear extracts of varicella-zoster virus (vzv)-infected human embryo lung (hel) cells were found to contain dna polymerase activity not present in uninfected hel cells. this enzyme was designated the vzv-induced dna polymerase. the vzv-induced polymerase was partially separated from the cellular alpha- and beta-polymerases by fractionation of the cells and by phosphocellulose chromatography. the separated enzymes were examined for the effect of added (nh4)2so4, activity with synthetic template ...	1977	21226
purification and characterization of equine herpesvirus-induced dna.		1977	13532
stable erythrocyte diagnostic preparation for passive haemagglutination test with herpes simplex virus antigen.	a method for the preparation of stable suspensions of erythrocytes sensitized with herpes simplex virus (hsv) antigen and for their use in the passive haemagglutination test (phat) was developed. formolized sheep erythrocytes were treated with tannin and sensitized with hsv antigen prepared from infected chick embryo cell culture by ultrasonication and virus extraction with alkaline glycine buffer. antibody titres determined in the phat were higher than titres of neutralizing antibody. the speci ...	1976	11670
effect of 9-beta-d-arabinofuranosylhypoxanthine 5'-monophosphate on genital lesions and encephalitis induced by herpesvirus hominis type 2 in female mice.	9-beta-d-arabinofuranosylhypoxanthine 5'-monophosphate, administered orally or topically, increased the number of survivors and mean day of death in mice inoculated intravaginally with herpesvirus hominis type 2. topical application of the drug in ointment significantly reduced the severity of genital lesions. orally administered drug did not appreciably reduce genital lesions, but it did cause significant increases in the number of survivors and mean day of death, even when administration was s ...	1976	6598
metabolic characteristics of cells infected with a herpesvirus of turkeys.	chicken embryo fibroblasts infected with the nononcogenic herpesvirus of turkeys (hvt) displayed an increased rate of glucose uptake, a pronounced alteration of the ph of the medium, and an increased production of lactic acid when compared to mock-infected cultures. objective estimates of cytopathology (quantifiable neutral red uptake and cell protein determination) showed that cell deterioration was a slow process in hvt-infected cells when compared to infection by herpes simplex virus. experim ...	1975	1548
characterization of a caprine herpesvirus.	a virus, which was isolated from kids (capra hircus) affected with a relatively severe generalized infection, was found to contain dna and to have a buoyant density of 1.2820 g/cm3. the virus was sensitive to the action of lipid solvents and trypsin and was rapidly inactivated at ph 3.0 and at temperatures of 50 and 56 c. the virion, an icosahedron consisting of a nucleoid surrounded by a double membrane, measured approximately 135 nm in diameter. on the basis of its chemical and physical proper ...	1975	933
