earlier
paper(Morse et al., J. Virol. 24:231-248, 1977) we reported on theprovenance of theDNA sequencesin26herpessimplex virustype 1 (HSV-1) x
HSV-2 recombinants as determined from analyses of their DNAs with atleast
five restrictionendonucleases. Thisreport deals with the polypeptidesspecified
by the recombinants and
by
their HSV-1 and HSV-2parents.Wehave identified(i) the corresponding HSV-1 and HSV-2 polypeptides with molecular weights
ranging from 20,000tomorethan200,000,(ii)the polypeptides that undergorapid

and(iii) polypeptides
that vary intratypically inapparentmolecular

patterns of thepoly-peptides with those of the DNAsequenceof therecombinants,wehave mapped
the
templates
