Abstract:
Bovine herpes mammillitis virus (BHMV) codes for a thymidine kinase (Tk), the gene for which is located in a 2.6 kb SalI restriction endonuclease fragment with a map unit of 0.2-0.32. This particular DNA fragment can transfect LTk-mouse cells and convert them to Tk+. The gene position of BHMV Tk would suggest another homologous gene map position for BHMV and herpes simplex virus (HSV).
