Effect of acyclovir and presence of cellular and viral thymidine kinase activity in herpes simplex virus infected cells. Brief report
Abstract
Herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) infected human lung fibroblasts show a higher viral thymidine kinase activity than infected African green monkey kidney cells. This may partly account for the higher antiviral activity of acyclovir in the former cells.
