Activation and inhibition of expression of the 72,000-da early protein of adenovirus type 5 in mouse cells constitutively expressing an immediate early protein of herpes simplex virus type 1

It has been previously reported that immediate early proteins of pseudorabies and cytomegalo viruses can substitute for the products of the human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) E1A gene in the activation of early Ad5 transcription. In the present report the effect of one of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) immediate early genes, ICP4, on Ad5 early gene expression has been examined using mouse cell lines that constitutively express ICP4. These …
