title: Latent herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA contains two copies of the virion DNA joint region.
abstract: Southern blot analysis of latent herpes simplex virus DNA detected in mouse brain and digested with a restriction enzyme revealed two copies of the virion DNA joint fragment. Thus, the absence of free ends noted previously in latent herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA is due to joining of the termini.
