title: Specious hybridization between herpes simplex virus DNA and human cellular DNA.
abstract: Apparent hybridization between human cellular DNA and herpes simplex virus DNA was blocked by the presence of guanine-rich ribo- and deoxyribonucleic acid polymers. The data indicate that the apparent hybridization may very well be artifactual and not represent long stretches of authentic base sequence homology.
