ABSTRACT:
A substantially pure preparation of an HSV-specific junction-spanning transcript (L/ST), wherein the 5' end of the L/ST maps to the b repeat sequences of HSV DNA at approximately 3 kb and 125 kb, wherein the L/ST extends into the c repeat sequences of HSV DNA and wherein the HSV DNA sequence encoding the L/ST is preceded by an ICP4 binding site and a TATA box.
