Abstract excerpt
Two cell surface proteins (nectin-1/HveC and nectin-2/HveB) shown previously to serve as receptors for the entry of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) wild-type and/or mutant strains were found to serve also as receptors for HSV-1-induced cell fusion. Transfection with genomic DNA from a syncytial HSV-1 strain encoding wild-type gD resulted in fusion of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing nectin-1 but not of...
