Volume 74, no. 2, p. 965–974, 2000. Page 971, column 2, 2nd full paragraph, lines 8–11: The sentence beginning “In mouse TG,” should read “In mouse TG, Coen et al. (4) observed reduced numbers of LAT+ neurons in mice latently infected with a TK− mutant and Jacobson et al. (21a) showed that this reduction was due to a TK mutation that does not affect the UL24 gene or its expression. In addition, quantitative PCR analysis of the viral genome has revealed a significant decrease in the amount of latent DNA present in the TG of mice latently infected with TK-null mutants (22, 25, 26).”
Page 973, column 1, last paragraph of the text. Line 8: “(1, 44)” should read “(1, 14a, 44).”
