Glycoprotein K (gK) of pseudorabies virus (PrV) has recently been identified as a virion component which is dispensable for viral entry but required for direct cell-to-cell spread. Electron microscopic data suggested a possible function of gK in virus egress by preventing immediate fusion of released virus particles with the plasma membrane (B. G. Klupp, J. Baumeister, P.
