Abstract excerpt
The main pathway of adsorption of pseudorabies virus (PrV) to its host cells is via interactions between viral glycoprotein gIII and a cellular heparin-like receptor. Mutants of PrV deficient in glycoprotein gIII adsorb by an alternative, slower pathway. Penetration into the cells of gIII- mutants is also delayed compared to penetration of wild type virus. We show here that polylysine enhances the adsorption of...
