ABSTRACT

Infection of estrogen-responsive cells (MCF-7) with herpes simplex virus type 1 or 2 stimulates expression of the estrogen receptor message. Experiments on infection with the mutant virus, tsK, together with transfection studies implicate the virion protein, Vmw65, in the response. Cellular protein synthesis is essential for estrogen receptor mRNA expression.
