Abstract:
In this report we describe a computerized virus identification system based upon the fact that viral proteins, separated by one-dimensional (ID) SDS-PAGE have unique banding patterns (protein profiles). Fifty-eight clinical strains of herpes simplex virus (HSV) were correctly identified by comparing their protein profiles with reference profiles of HSV, other viruses and uninfected cell cultures stored in a computer data base.
