Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein B (gB) is a major virion component, essential for various steps of virus replication in cells, such as entry and maturation, and cell fusion. In addition, gB is a strong inducer of the immune response in humans and has been involved in neuropathogenesis. To analyze gB during infection, a recombinant HSV-1 was generated containing gB fused to the green fluorescent...
