title: Regulated expression of stably transfected herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase genes in continuous cell lines expressing a temperature-sensitive mutant form of the immediate-early protein ICP4.
abstract: We stably transfected the herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase gene into a continuous cell line expressing a temperature-sensitive form of the viral immediate-early protein ICP4. In these cells, expression of the thymidine kinase gene was regulated in a temperature-sensitive manner, partially reproducing the controls that operate during a viral infection.
