Abstract
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA covalently bound to cellulose was used as a reagent to isolate viral RNA transcripts for size analysis on denaturing agarose gels. Nuclear and polyribosomal RNA isolated at 2 h postinfection (p.i.) migrated with sizes between 1,500 and 5,500 nucleotides. At 6 h p.i. (when viral DNA synthesis is underway), viral polyribosome-associated polyadenylated RNA showed different discrete sizes of species predominating, with RNA larger than 5,500 nucleotides clearly present. Nearly 50% of the newly made viral RNA found in the nucleus at 6 h p.i. was from 5,000 to 10,000 nucleotides in length. A high-resolution transcription map of the viral mRNA abundant at 2 h p.i. was compiled from the hybridization of Southern blots of HSV-1 DNA restriction fragments to both sizes of fractionated polyribosomal polyadenylated RNA and 3' complementary DNA probe made to this size of fractionated RNA. We have identified and mapped 16 mRNA species abundant at 2 h p.i. These RNAs range in size from 1,500 to 5,300 nucleotides and map throughout the HSV-1 genome. In some instances, a direction of transcription can be suggested. Further, about one-third of this number of mRNA's has been found in cells infected with a DNA-negative temperature-sensitive mutant (tsB2) and grown at the nonpermissive temperature (39 degrees C).

Abstract
Polyadenylated immediate-early transcripts of herpes simplex virus type 1, made in BHK cells infected and maintained in the presence of cycloheximide, have been separated on denaturing agarose gels containing methyl mercuric hydroxide. Three virus-specific mRNA bands of estimated sizes 4.7, 3.0, and 2.0 kilobases (kb) were detected, and these mRNA's were mapped on the virus genome and also used to direct protein synthesis in vitro. The 4.7- and 3.0-kb mRNA's hybridized predominantly to certain DNA fragments which are located in the short and long repetitive regions of the genome, respectively, whereas the 2.0-kb mRNA's mapped to three discrete regions of the virus DNA. In vitro translation of these separated mRNA size classes indicated that the 3.0-kb mRNA specified the synthesis of virus polypeptide Vmw 110, whereas the 2.0-kb mRNA's specified Vmw 68, 63, and 12. The synthesis of small amounts of Vmw 175 was specified by the 4.7-kb mRNA. In contrast with the mRNA's which specify these other immediate-early polypeptides, that specifying Vmw 12 is much larger than required for its coding sequences.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA bound to cellulose has been used as a reagent to isolate viral mRNA for size analysis on denaturing agarose gels. Total viral polysomal polyadenylated RNA was isolated from cells late after infection when such RNA has sequences encoded by approximately 45% of the HSV DNA. This RNA has a size range of from 1.5 to greater than or equal to 8 kilobases, with certain sizes, such as 1.7 to 1.9 kilobases, being favored. We have used the restriction endonucleases HindIII and XbaI singly and together to generate various sized fragments covering the entire HSV-1 genome. These fragments have been bound to cellulose to allow isolation of HSV-1 mRNA annealing to different regions of the viral genome. Discrete sizes of viral mRNA are associated with certain regions of the genome, but the mRNA population hybridizing to even the smallest restriction fragments is complex. We used hybridization of size-fractionated RNA to Southern blots of restriction fragments of HSV-1 DNA generated by the BglII as well as HindIII and XbaI endonucleases to confirm the preparative hybridization data and to provide some overlap data for positioning transcripts. The data of blot and preparative hybridization agreed very well and were combined to construct a preliminary transcription map of HSV-1. Such a map revealed at least two areas of the long unique region of the HSV-1 genome which annealed to a large number of HSV-1 transcripts. Furthermore, discrete-sized mRNA species larger than 5 kilobases in length were found only in the middle of the long unique region. The implications of these data are discussed.

Abstract
The importance and the extent of the inter-actions between herpes viruses and man is beginning to be understood. As more is learned about the natural histories of these viruses, it is becoming apparent that they have in common: Horizontal spread during childhood, often with subclinical infection. Latency in the host for many years, probably for life. Potential for reactivation at a later time. Host immune response maintained for life. Potential for oncogeneiss. A more thorough knowledge of the biochemistry and the biology of these viruses promises to be the foundation of more effective treatment and prevention.

Abstract
Reconstruction experiments have shown that temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)(Glasgow strain 17) grow, complement, and recombine with similar efficiency in human nerve ganglion cells, human brain cells, normal human fibroblasts (WI38), and baby hamster kidney (BHK) 21/C13 hamster cells. Cultures of human trigeminal, superior cervical, and vagus ganglia that had failed to release herpes simplex virus spontaneously were superinfected with a range of ts mutants of HSV-1 and incubated at both permissive (31 degrees C) and nonpermissive (38.5 degrees C) temperatures. Progeny virus was assayed at both temperatures to determine if complementation of or recombination with the input genomes had occurred. The results showed that the ganglia from 8 of 14 individuals, which had been consistently negative for spontaneous release of virus, contained information that could be detected or rescued following superinfection with ts mutants of herpes simplex virus. In two additional cases, positive results were obtained after the superinfection of negative ganglia explants, but in each of these herpes simplex virus had previously been spontaneously released from one of six ganglia explanted.

Abstract
Analysis of the infected cell polypeptides and the DNA restriction profiles of 31 HSV-1 isolates from the trigeminal, superior cervical and vagus ganglia from 17 individuals (12 U.S.A., 2 Japanese, 3 Norwegian) could be classified as 15 different virus strains. With the exception of the three Norwegian isolates which gave identical profiles, virus isolates from the ganglia of different individuals could all be distinguished from one another. In contrast virus isolates from the trigeminal, superior cervical and vagus ganglia of the same individual, or virus isolates from the left and right ganglia of the same individual or multiple isolates from different explants of a single ganglion were indistinguishable. In conclusion, a single virus strain infects each individual initially and virus descended from this event subsequently infects and becomes latent in different cells of the same ganglion as well as in different ganglia.

Abstract
Restriction enzyme and hybridization analyses have revealed that high-density DNA prepared from passage 15 of serially passaged herpes simplex virus type 1 (Justin) contains three major classes of modified viral DNA molecules, each composed of distinct but closely related types of repeate units. The DNA sequences within the three types of repeat units are colinear with the DNA sequences located at the right end (between coordinates 0.94 and 1.0) of the parental herpes simplex virus type 1 genome. Thus, the three types of repeat units each contain the entire repeat sequence (ac) (which brackets the unique sequences of the small [S] component of herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA) and differ only with respect to the amount of unique S sequences which they contain. The three classes of high-density DNA molecules were found to be stably propagated between passages 6 and 15 of this series.

Abstract
The results of comparative studies on concentration and purification of herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) by ficol density gradient centrifugation are presented. A two-phase distribution of extracellular HSV was established in phycol density gradient centrifugation: in zones with density of 1.110-1.114 and 1.088-1.085 g/ml. The effectiveness of purification of HSV preparations recovered from the corresponding gradient zones was determined by electron microscopy and quantitation of the contaminating cellular (radioactive) proteins in virus purification from a mixture of the culture fluid from infected cultures and the culture fluid from uninfected labeled human embryo skin-muscle tissue cultures (HESM) and a mixture of unlabeled extracellular HSV and a homogenate of labeled uninfected HESM cultures. In HSV purification from the virus-containing culture fluid the amount of cellular proteins was shown to decrease 500-fold in 150-fold virus concentration. In purification of extracellular HSV from the mixture with cell homogenate the amount of cellular proteins decreased 70- and 100-fold for HSV-2 and HSV-1, respectively. The infectious virus yield in phycol gradient centrifugation of a precipitate obtained by the addition of polyethylene glycol-6000 to the culture fluid for HSV-1 was 34.7% (in titrations in HESM cultures) and 38.4% (by intracerebral inoculation of mice weighing 5-6 g), and for HSV-2 20.2% and 26.3%, respectively.

Abstract
The herpes simplex virus glycoprotein designated VP7(B2) is extracted from virions by nonionic detergent in the form of an oligomer, whereas the other detergent-soluble envelope proteins appear to be extracted as monomers. The subunits of the VP7(B2) oligomer cannot be dissociated by 2-mercaptoethanol and are also resistant to dissociation by a mixture of sodium dodecyl sulfate and 2-mercaptoethanol, except at elevated temperature. The oligomeric form of solubilized VP7(B2) appears to be predominantly dimeric, based on the sedimentation rats in sucrose gradients and the electrophoretic mobilities in sodium dodecyl sulfate-containing acrylamide gels of the undissociated and heat-dissociated forms of VP7(B2).

Abstract
We have mapped the location in herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA of (i) three mutations at different loci (syn loci) which alter the social behavior of infected cells from clumping of rounded cells to polykaryocytosis, (ii) a mutation which determines the accumulation of one major glycoprotein [VP8.0(C(2))], and (iii) the sequences encoding four major virus glycoproteins [VP8.0(C(2)), VP7(B(2)), VP8.5(A), and VP19E(D(2))]. The experimental design and results were as follows. (i) Analysis of HSV-1 x HSV-2 recombinants showed that the sequences encoding the VP19E(D(2)) glycoprotein map in the S component, whereas the sequences encoding the other three major glycoproteins are in two locations in the L component of HSV DNA. The templates specifying the HSV-1 and HSV-2 glycoprotein VP8.0(C(2)) appear not to be colinear; we isolated recombinants specifying glycoproteins comigrating in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with VP8.0(C(2)) of both HSV-1 and HSV-2. (ii) Marker rescue of a ts mutant defective in accumulation of glycoprotein VP7(B(2)) showed that the mutation maps within a region containing the sequences encoding that glycoprotein. (iii) Marker transfer experiments involving transfection of rabbit skin cells with donor HSV-1(F) DNA and fragments from several donor strains causing fusion of Vero or both Vero and HEp-2 cells revealed the existence of three syn loci specifying the social behavior of cells and one locus (Cr) determining the accumulation of glycoprotein VP8.0(C(2)). The Cr locus maps to the right of the template specifying VP8.0(C(2)) glycoprotein. Loci syn 1 and syn 2 map at or near the Cr locus but can be segregated from it. Locus syn 3 maps at or near the template specifying glycoproteins VP7(B(2)) and VP8.5(A). The expression of mutations in the syn 1 and syn 3 loci appear to be cell type dependent, in that recombinants with these mutations fuse Vero cells but not HEp-2 cells. Recipients of the syn 2 locus or of both syn 2 and syn 1 loci fuse both Vero and HEp-2 cells.

Previous reports (H. Delius and J. B. Clements, J. Gen. Virol. 33:125-134, 1976; G. S. Hayward, R. J. Jacob, S. C. Wadsworth, and B. Roizman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 72:4243-4247, 1975; B. Roizman, G. S. Hayward, R. Jacob, S. W. Wadsworth, and R. W. Honess, Excerpta Med. Int. Congr. Ser. 2:188-198, 1974) have shown that herpes simplex virus DNA extracted from virions accumulating in the cytoplasm of infected cells consists of four populations of linear molecules differing in the orientation of the covalently linked large (L) and small (S) components relative to each other. Together, these four isomeric arrangements of viral DNA display four different termini and four different L-S component junctions. In the studies reported in this paper, we analyzed with restriction endonucleases the newly replicated viral DNA shortly after the onset of viral DNA synthesis, the progeny DNA accumulating in the nuclei late in infection, and rapidly sedimenting DNA present in nuclei of infected cells at 8 h after infection. In each instance the nuclear viral DNA contained a decreased concentration of all four terminal fragments and an increase in the concentration of fragments spanning the junction of L and S components relative to the concentration of other DNA fragments. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the viral DNA accumulating in the nuclei consists of head-to-tail concatemers arising from the replication of DNA by a rolling-circle mechanism. A model is presented for generation of all four isomeric arrangements of herpes simplex virus DNA from one arrangement based on excision and repair of unit length DNA from head-to-tail concatemers and known features of the sequence arrangement of viral DNA.

Abstract
We have transferred a genetic locus determining resistance to phosphonoacetic acid (PAAr) from one herpes simplex viral genome to another by two methods of marker transfer. One method requires recombination between an intact DNA molecule and a restriction endonuclease DNA fragment, whereas the other requires repair of a partial heteroduplex formed between the two DNA molecules. These two methods mapped the PAAr locus between positions 0.45 and 0.53 map units on the physical map of the viral DNA. Fine mapping of the PAAr locus showed that it maps at or near an EcoRI restriction endonuclease site at either 0.46 or 0.49 map units. We also describe and compare the two methods of marker transfer.

Abstract
Recombinants between temperature-sensitive mutants of herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2) were constructed. Using restriction endonucleases, we analyzed the genome composition of 17 intertypic recombinants and detected crossovers in every region of the genome. The virion DNA of one recombinant appeared to be largely "frozen" in two of the four possible genome arrangements of HSV. Knowledge of the genome structures of recombinants enabled us to physically map immediate early polypeptides. We present evidence that the immediate early polypeptide Vmw IE 110 of HSV-1 and its functionally equivalent polypeptide, Vmw IE 118, of HSV-2 may map in the repetitive sequences bounding the long unique region of HSV.

Abstract
Analysis of the polypeptides induced by 29 herpes simplex virus type 1/type 2 intertypic recombinants and correlation of the data with the crossover points in the recombinant DNAs have enabled the map positions of many polypeptides to be deduced. These include 25 polypeptides which label with [35S]methionine, 11 which label with [32P]orthophosphate, and 4 which label with [14C]glucosamine. Together with the data of Preston et al. (J. Virol., in press) on the mapping of five immediate-early polypeptides, the results show that representatives of four groups of proteins--immediate-early, late, phosphorylated, and glycosylated--map in both long and short regions. The functional organization of the herpes simplex virus genome does not therefore restrict any of these four groups to either the long or the short region.

Abstract
A generally applicable technique which permits the rescue of selected genetic markers from fragments of herpes simplex virus DNA is described. Baby hamster kidney cells infected at the nonpermissive temperature with intact DNA from temperature-sensitive mutants or with fragmented wild-type DNA produce no, or little, infectious progeny. Coinfection results in an increased yield of virus, demonstrating the rescue of genetic information from the DNA fragments. This progeny virus consists of both wild-type and temperature-sensitive virus, demonstrating that both recombination and complementation can occur in coinfected cells. Rescue experiments using isolated fragments produced with various restriction endonucleases have enabled us to locate five temperature-sensitive mutations on the herpes simplex virus type 1 physical map. An adaptation of the technique has allowed the physical mapping of a mutation which affects the herpes simplex virus type 1 pyrimidine deoxyribonucleoside kinase gene. Comparison of the genetic and physical maps for these mutants reveals several anomalies which are discussed.

Abstract
Analysis of restriction endonuclease cleavage sites within the inverted, repeated sequences in the joint region of the DNA of herpes simplex virus type 1 strain KOS revealed the presence of two types of sequence heterogeneity. The first was an insertion of 280 base pairs or multiples of 280 base pairs which was found in approximately half of all DNA molecules from every plaque-purified stock of virus. These insertions seemed to be tandem duplications of sequences which were present at the joint and correspond closely to the inverted terminal redunancy. The second type of heterogeneity was due to variable insertions and deletions which were present in some, but not all, plaque-purified virus stocks. Comparison of restriction fragments from the joint region with fragments from the termini indicated that in the simplest observed molecules of herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA, only one copy of the inverted terminal redundancy was present at the joint. A map of restriction endonuclease cleavage sites in the joint region is presented.

Abstract
The CP-1 antigen of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a glycoprotein found in the soluble portion of infected cells, in detergent extracts of infected cell membranes, and in the envelope of purified virus. Antisera were prepared against a further purified form of CP-1 prepared from HSV soluble antigen mix; a glycoprotein, gp52, isolated from detergent-treated infected cells; and detergent extracts of purified virus. Each of the antisera reacted with CP-1 to give a single immunoprecipitin band of identity, and each antiserum neutralized the infectivity of HSV-1 and HSV-2. Our results suggested that the type-common determinants involved in the stimulation of neutralizing antibody resided on a 52,000-molecular-weight (52K) glycoprotein. The envelope of HSV contains several glycoproteins: one component at 59K and a complex of two or three components at 130K, none of which corresponds in molecular weight to gp52. Using the antisera as immunological probes, we performed pulse-chase experiments with [(35)S]methionine-labeled HSV-1-infected cells and followed the disposition of the glycoproteins during the infectious cycle. Each antiserum immunoprecipitated a (35)S-labeled 52K protein from lysates of cells pulse-labeled at 5 h after infection. By 10 h, the label was chased into a 59K protein also precipitable by each of the three antisera. The results suggest that gp52 is a precursor of gp59 and that the latter corresponds in molecular weight to one of the major glycoproteins of the virion envelope.

Abstract
The ordering of restriction endonuclease fragments of HSV-2 DNA for physical maps has been studied using molecular hybridization techniques and the cleavage of isolated restriction endonuclease fragments with further restriction endonucleases. Physical maps for the fragments produced by EcoRI, Hind III, Bgl II, Xba and Hpa I have been constructed. The mol. wt. of the various regions which constitute HSV-2 genome are very similar to the corresponding mol. wt. in the HSV-1 genome.

Abstract
The origin of defective DNA (dDNA) of the Patton strain of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) was physically mapped with BamHI in the parental DNA. The dDNA obtained from virus passaged at high multiplicities of infection was resistant to cleavage with HindIII, whereas digestion with EcoRI yielded a cluster of fragments 5.4 to 5.7 megadaltons (Mdal) in size. Cleavage with BamHI gave a cluster of fragments 2.6 to 3.2 Mdal in size, plus two homogeneous, comigrating 1-Mdal fragments. One of the latter fragments contained the single EcoRI site approximately 65 base pairs from one end. Hybridization of in vitro labeled dDNA probe to EcoRI, HindIII, BamHI, and Hpa I digests of nondefective HSV-1 DNA demonstrated that, in addition to the S-region terminal repeat, only one end of the S region was involved in the generation of this class of dDNA. Thus, the dDNA probe did not hybridize to either the S region 3.0-Mdal HindIIIN fragment or a 3.0-Mdal BamHI fragment of the adjacent 8.7-Mdal HindIIIG fragment, but did hybridize to four BamHI fragments of HindIII G (approximately 5.7 Mdal). The cluster of 2.6- to 3.2-Mdal fragments obtained with BamHI digestion of dDNA appears to represent a novel junction between the termination of dDNA adjacent to the 3.0-Mdal BamHI fragment in HindIII G and the 2.0- to 2.3-Mdal BamHI fragment terminal in HSV-1 DNA.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus-induced DNA polymerase purified by published methods was found to be contaminated with many others proteins, including virus structural proteins. Thus, DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose chromatography were used in combination with affinity chromatography to purify DNA polymerase from herpes simplex virus type 1- and type 2-infected cells. The purified enzyme retained unique features of the herpesvirus-induced DNA polymerase, including a requirement for high salt concentrations for maximal activity, a sensitivity to low phosphonoacetate concentrations, and the capacity to be neutralized by rabbit antiserum to herpesvirus-infected cells. By polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the purified DNA polymerase was associated with a virus-induced polypeptide of about 150,000 molecular weight.

Abstract
We are reporting the physical location of parental DNA sequences in 28 recombinants produced by crossing herpes simplex viruses (HSV) 1 and 2. The parental crosses were of two kinds. In the first, temperature-sensitive mutants of HSV-1 and HSV-2 were crossed to produce wild-type recombinants. In the second, temperature-sensitive mutants of HSV-1 rendered resistant to phosphonoacetic acid were crossed with wild-type HSV-2, and recombinants that multiplied at nonpermissive temperature and were resistant to the drug were selected. The DNAs of the recombinants were mapped with XbaI, EcoRI, HpaI, HsuI, BglII, and, in some instances, KpnI restriction endonucleases. The results were as follows. (i) We established the colinear arrangements of HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNAs. (ii) There was extensive interchange of genomic regions, ranging from the exchange or the entire L of S component of HSV DNA to substitutions of regions within the same component. In some recombinants, the reiterated sequences ab and ac bracketing the L and S components of HSV DNA were heterotypic. Most recombinants grew well and showed no obvious defects. (iii) The number of crossover events ranged from one to as many as six. Although crossover events occurred throughout the DNA, some clustering of crossover events was observed. (iv) Analysis of recombinants permitted localization of several markers used in this study and appears to be a useful technique for marker mapping. (v) As previously reported, HSV DNA consists of four populations, differing in relative orientation of the L and S components. All recombinants could be displayed in one arrangement of L and S such that the number of crossover events was minimized. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that only one arrangement of the parental DNA participates in the generation of recombinants.

Abstract
RNA labeled with [methyl-3H]methionine and/or [32P]orthophosphate was isolated from the polyribosomes of herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1-infected cells and separated into polyadenylylated [poly(A+)]and non-polyadenylylated [poly(A-)] fractions. Virus-specific RNA was obtained by hybridization in liquid to either excess HSV DNA or filters containing immobilized HSV DNA. Analysis in denaturing sucrose gradients indicated that HSV-specific poly(A+) RNA sedimented in a broad peak, with a modal S value of 20. The ratio of [3H]methyl to 32P decreased with increasing size of RNA, suggesting that each RNA chain contains a similar sumber of methyl groups. Further analysis indicated an average of one RNase-resistant structure of the type m7G(5')pppNmpNp or m7G(5')pppNmpNmpNp per 2,780 nucleotides. The following components were identified in the 5'-terminal oligonucleotides of polyribosome-associated HSV-specific poly(A+) and poly(A-) RNA: 7-methylguanosine, N6,2'-O-dimethyladenosine, and the 2'-O-methyl derivatives of guanosine, adenosine, uridine, and denosine, and the 2'-O-methyl derivatives of guanosine, adenosine, uridine, and cytidine. The most common 5'-terminal sequences were m7G(5')pppm6Am and m7G(5')pppGm. An additional modified nucleoside, N6-methyladenosine, was present in an internal position of HSV-specific RNA.

Abstract
This paper concerns the properties of herpes simplex virus 1 DNA replicating in HEp-2 and human embryonic lung cells. The results were as follows. (i) Only a small fraction of input viral DNA entered the replicative pool. The bulk of the input viral DNA cosedimented with marker viral DNA and did not appear to be degraded or dissociated into L and S components. (ii) Nascent DNA sedimented faster and banded at a higher density than that of mature viral DNA extracted from virions. Pulse-chase experiments indicated that nascent DNA acquires the sedimentation rate and buoyant density of viral DNA within 30 to 40 min after its synthesis. (iii) Electron microscopic studies indicated that the DNA extracted from cells replicating viral DNA and banding at the density of viral DNA contained: (a) linear, full-size molecules with internal gaps and single-stranded regions at termini; (b) molecules with lariats, consisting of a linear segment up to 2x the size of mature DNA and a ring ranging from 0.5 x 10(6) to 100 x 10(6) in molecular weight, showing continuous and discontinuous forks; (c) circular, double-stranded molecules, both full-size and multiples of 18 x 10(6) in molecular weight, but without forks or loops; (d) molecules showing "eye" and "D" loops at or near one end of the DNA; (e) large, tangled masses of DNA, similar to those observed for T4 and pseudorabies virus replicating DNAs, containing loops and continuous and discontinuous forks. The electron micrographs are consistent with the hypothesis that the single-stranded ends on the DNA anneal to form a hairpin, that the DNA synthesis is initiated at or near that end and proceeds bidirectionally to form a lariat, and that resulting progeny derived by semiconservative replication are "head-to-head" and "tail-to-tail" dimers.

Abstract
Four cell lines biochemically transformed by u.v.-irradiated herpes simplex virus contain virus DNA fragments ranging from 3 to 22% of the HSV genome. Of five revertant clones selected for 3H-TdR or BrdUrd resistance, four had lost all detectable virus DNA while the fifth, selected for BrdUrd resistance, retained the entire virus fragment but there was a reduction of virus copies per cell from 5 to 1. Three 'supertransformed' revertant cell lines contained virus DNA fragments ranging from 12 to 28%. The number of virus DNA fragments per cell ranged from 1 to 5 and clearly indicated that a single copy of the virus thymidine kinase gene is adequate for biochemical transformation. The determination of the base composition of the transforming virus DNA fragment indicated that the transforming DNA has a base composition approximately the same as the HSV genome and does not constitute a low GC virus DNA region. Cross hybridization between HSV-1 transformed cells and HSV-2 DNA is very slight, indicating that the DNA found in clone 139 is not entirely composed of the HSV-1 and HSV-2 common sequences.

Abstract
We have quantitatively analyzed the size and amount of herpes simplex virus (HSV)-specific RNA synthesized in HeLa cells using DNA and RNA excess hybridization. At 2 h after infection (early), transcripts from 20% of the total HSV DNA are present on polyribosomes as poly(A+) RNA. At this time, viral poly(A+) RNA comprises 60 to 75% of the newly synthesized poly(a+) mRNA on polyribosomes. By 6 h after infection (late), poly(A+) HSV RNA transcribed from 35 to 40% of the viral DNA is found on polyribosomes. These viral poly(A+) transcripts comprised as much as 90% of newly synthesized poly(A+) mRNA and are measurably larger than viral poly(A+) transcripts isolated early. Some but not all of this size difference is due to the fact that the poly(A) tails on early transcripts are shorter than those found on transcripts made late. Even late after infection, a small but readily measurable amount of cellular poly(A+) RNA is still being made and entering polyribosome complexes. In the nucleus, late after infection, poly(A+) HSV RNA is complementary to 50% of the total HSV DNA. Both early and late after infection, total nuclear viral transcripts are, on the average, larger than viral transcripts found on polyribosomes; however, nuclear HSV poly(A+) RNA is not measureably larger than the corresponding cytoplasmic viral poly(A+) sequences at either time. A major portion (30 to 40%) of the polyribosomal HSV RNA made either early or late after infection is not polyadenylated. This HSV poly (A-) RNA is transcribed from the same sequences as HSV poly(A+) RNA but, when labeled and isolated either early or late after infection, both nuclear and polyribosomal viral poly(A-) RNA molecules sediment faster in sucrose-formaldehyde gradients than their polyadenylated counterparts.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA molecules were isolated from infected BSC 1 cells and centrifuged in CsCl-ethidium bromide density gradients. Both newly labelled and mature virus DNA molecules were found to have a linear conformation. The morphology of virus DNA molecules at different stages of the virus growth cycle in BSC 1 cells, was studied by electron microscopy after separation of virus DNA from cellular DNA by centrifugation in CsCl gradients. In each sample, about 200 virus DNA molecules were photographed and the different morphological forms were studied. Four classes of virus DNA molecules were observed: (a) mature linear DNA molecules, 52-4 +/- 3-3 micronm in length, (b) DNA intermediates, (c) virus DNA molecules having one or more single-stranded filaments attached to them and (d) molecules with collapsed regions or with branches. A few circular molecules as well as linear DNA molecules longer than unit length were also observed. The virus DNA molecules resembling replicative intermediates gradually increased in number and reached a maximal amount of about 5% of the virus DNA population at 12 h after infection. The other forms of virus DNA were found to persist after the number of replicating DNA molecules decreased.

Abstract
Marek's disease virus DNA isolated from the nuclear fraction of infected chicken embryo fibroblasts and sucrose-purified particles was electrophoresed on 3 per cent polyacrylamide gels and was compared in its electrophoretical behaviour with isolated pseudorabies and herpes simplex DNA, strain HF. The DNA molecules eluted from the gel were identified by their sedimentation coefficient (53--55S) and buoyant density (1.707 g/ml) to be of viral origin. MDV DNA molecules were electrophoretically also detected and identified in DNA preparations of the lymphoblastoid Marek's disease tumour cell line MSB-1 which therefore has to be considered as a producer line. The electrophoresis of DNA preparations from Marek's disease virus-infected cells on polyacrylamide gels provides a semipreparative method for the isolation of MDV DNA.

Abstract
Previous reports from this laboratory (Honess and Roizman, 1974) have operationally defined alpha polypeptides as the viral proteins that are synthesized first in HEp-2 cells treated with cycloheximide from the time of infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 until the withdrawal of the drug 12 to 15 h after infection. It has also been shown that the viral RNA (designated alpha RNA) that accumulates in the cytoplasm during cycloheximide treatment and on polyribosomes immediately upon withdrawal of the drug is homologous to 10 to 12% of viral DNA, whereas the viral RNA accumulating in the cytoplasm of untreated cells at 8 to 14 h after infection is homologous to 43% of viral DNA (Kozak and Roizman, 1974). In the present study, alpha RNA and cytoplasmic RNA extracted from untreated cells 8 h after infection were each hybridized in liquid to in vitro labeled restriction endonuclease fragments generated by cleavage of herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA with Hsu I, with Bgl II, and with both enzymes simultaneously. The data show that only a subset of the fragments hybridized to alpha RNA, and these are scattered within both the L and S components of the DNA. There are at least five noncontiguous regions in the DNA homologous to alpha RNA; two of these are located partially within the reiterated sequences in the S component. All fragments tested hybridized more extensively with 8-h cytoplasmic RNA than with alpha RNA. Four adjacent fragments, corresponding to 30% of the DNA and mapping within the L component, hybridized exclusively with the cytoplasmic RNA extracted from cells 8 h after infection.

Abstract
The generation of density gradients for ultracentrifuging by freezing and thawing was applied to formation of linear density gradients with sodium metrizoate and metrizamide. Using these gradient materials simple and rapid methods for purification of virions and nucleocapsids of herpes virus were elaborated. Using metrizamide the recovery of infectivity was 10-30 per cent, and the purification of virions measured as reduction of host protein was 1700 times. Using metrizoate, the recovery of nucleocapsids was 30-60 per cent and the purification from host DNA and protein was 900 and 1700 times, respectively.

Abstract
The densities of purified herpes simplex virus (HSV) particles prepared from infected rabbit lung (ZP) and baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells were investigated in potassium tartrate (PT) and potassium citrate (PC) density gradients. Virions obtained from ZP cells exhibited a higher density than those from BHK-21 cells. In PT and PC gradients, the former banded at densities of 1.226 and 1.267, while tha latter at 1.194 and 1.233, respectively. Deenveloped viral particles prepared by Nonidet P-40 treatment from purified virions of either origin were found in PT and PC gradients at the densities of 1.263 and 1.320, respectively. The possible causes of the density change of virions propagated in different hosts are discussed.

Abstract
We previously reported that serial propagation of the Justin strain of herpes simplex virus 1 [HSV-1 (Justin)] results in the generation of defective DNA molecules consisting of tandem repetitions of sequences of limited complexity. In the present study, HSV-1 DNA was cleaved with the restriction endonucleases BglII and EcoRI. The fragments were electrophoretically separated on agarose gels, transferred to nitrocellulose strips, and then hybridized with 32P-labeled HSV-1 (Justin) defective DNA. The data allow us to conclude that DNA sequences contained in the repeat unit of defective DNA originate from the S segment of the wild-type viral DNA molecule.
