Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) can complement temperature-sensitive mutants of herpes simplex virus. Of seven mutants tested, two, carrying mutations in the immediate-early ICP4 and ICP27 proteins, were complemented. This complementation was not seen in coinfections with adenovirus type 5 or cytomegalovirus. Following transfection into CV-1 cells, a DNA fragment containing the VZV short repeat sequence complemented the ICP4 mutant. These data demonstrate a functional relationship between VZV and herpes simplex virus and have allowed localization of a putative VZV immediate-early gene.
水痘带状疱疹病毒(VZV)可以互补单纯疱疹病毒的温度敏感突变体。在测试的七个突变体中,两个在立即早期ICP4和ICP27蛋白中携带突变的突变体得到了互补。在与5型腺病毒或巨细胞病毒的共感染中未观察到这种互补作用。将含有VZV短重复序列的DNA片段转染到CV-1细胞后,其互补了ICP4突变体。这些数据证明了VZV与单纯疱疹病毒之间的功能关系,并确定了一个假定的VZV立即早期基因的定位。
