Abstract excerpt
Several cell surface molecules, including HVEM and nectin-1, can serve as entry receptors for herpes simplex virus (HSV) and as receptors for virus-induced or viral glycoprotein-induced cell fusion. The viral ligand for these receptors is the HSV envelope glycoprotein gD. A set of linker-insertion and deletion mutants of HSV type 1 (HSV-1) gD was analyzed for effects of the mutations on binding of gD to HVEM and...
