Abstract excerpt
Glycoprotein C from herpes simplex viruses types 1 and 2 (gC-1 and gC-2) acts as a receptor for the C3b fragment of the third component of complement. Our goal is to identify domains on gC involved in C3b receptor activity. Here, we used in-frame linker-insertion mutagenesis of the cloned gene for gC-2 to identify regions of the protein involved in C3b binding. We constructed 41 mutants of gC-2, each having a...
