Mutants of pseudorabies virus defective in either glycoprotein gI or gIII are only slightly less virulent for mice and chickens than is wild-type virus, while mutants defective in both gI and gIII are avirulent. To clarify the reason for the lack of virulence of the gI- gIII- mutants, we have analyzed in some detail the interactions of these mutants with their hosts. The results obtained showed that the gI...
