Abstract
Summary
Inactivation of HSV types 1 and 2 by UV-irradiation was nonlinear and exhibited a two-component effect. UV-irradiated virus produced smaller and less clear plaques than normal virus. Ability of HSV to induce TdR kinase activity was progressively inactivated by increasing doses of UV-irradiation at a rate similar to inactivation of the infectivity of the virus.
