Bovine herpesvirus glycoprotein D: a review of its structural characteristics and applications in vaccinology
30 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
The viral envelope glycoprotein D from bovine herpesviruses 1 and 5 (BoHV-1 and -5), two important pathogens of cattle, is a major component of the virion and plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of herpesviruses.
