Abstract excerpt
Infection of cells by herpesviruses is initiated by the interaction of viral envelope glycoproteins with cellular receptors. In the alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PrV), the causative agent of Aujeszky's disease in pigs, the essential glycoprotein D (gD) mediates secondary attachment of virions to target cells by binding to newly identified cellular receptors (R.
