Abstract excerpt
The entry of herpesviruses into cells involves two distinct stages: attachment or adsorption to the cell surface followed by internalization. The virus envelope glycoproteins have been implicated in both stages. Pseudorabies virus attaches to cells by an early interaction that involves the viral glycoprotein gIII and a cellular heparinlike substance. We examined the role of gIII in the attachment process by...
