In vitro isolation of variants of herpes simplex virus attenuated with altered thymidine kinase and DNA polymerase genes using carrageenans as selection agents

Natural polysaccharides known as carrageenans are potent and selective inhibitors of herpes simplex virus through blocking the interaction of the virus with the cellular receptor. Passaging the virus in vitro in the presence of carrageenans types k and ι enabled us to generate variants of herpes sim...
