Specificity of UL6, UL17, and UL25 rabbit polyclonal antibodies. BHK cells were infected with HSV-1 wt strain 17, wt strain KOS, UL17-stop mutant, lacZ-UL6−, or UL25NS or were mock infected (MI). At 24 h postinfection the cells were harvested and the proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE. Western blot analysis was carried out, probing the KOS, UL25NS, and mock-infected cell profiles sequentially with UL25 and VP23 polyclonal antibodies (a) and strain 17, lacZ-UL6−, UL17-stop, and mock-infected cell profiles sequentially with UL17, UL6, and VP23 polyclonal antibodies (b).
