Proteins containing only half of the coding information of early region 1b of adenovirus are functional in human cells transformed with the herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase gene and adenovirus type 2 DNA (btiscience.org)
The AroCell TK 210 ELISA kit for thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) can aid in obtaining this valuable information from a simple serum sample. (sciencemag.org)
I had also shown that when I fused it to the herpesvirus thymidine kinase (TK) gene, I could get heat - inducible TK transcripts in mammalian cells. (sciencemag.org)
