The Murine Gammaherpesvirus 68 ORF27 Gene Product Contributes to Intercellular Viral Spread
28 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Herpesviruses remain predominantly cell associated within their hosts, implying that they spread between cells by a mechanism distinct from free virion release. We previously identified the efficient release of murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) virions as a function of the viral gp150 protein. Here we show that the MHV-68 ORF27 gene product, gp48, contributes to the direct spread of viruses from lytically...
