RESUMO
Deoxypyrimidine kinase (deoxythymidine [TdR] kinase and deoxycytidine kinase) activity was induced in human embryonic lung cells after infection with varicella-zoster virus (VZ virus). Increased enzyme activity was also produced by using cell-associated virus as inoculum instead of cell-free virus. Anti-VZ virus serum inhibited both the appearance of cytopathic effect and the induction of enzyme activity. The induced TdR kinase activity was more thermostable than that induced by herpes simplex virus type 1. Also, the TdR kinase activity of VZ virus-infected cells was inhibited by dTTP less than in mock-infected cells and more than in herpes simplex virus type 1-infected cells.
