Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is an important human pathogen. It enters cells through an orchestrated process that requires four essential glycoproteins, gD, gH/gL, and gB, activated in cascade fashion by receptor-binding and signaling. gH/gL heterodimer is conserved across the Herpesviridae family. HSV entry is enabled by gH/gL interaction with αvβ6- or αvβ8-integrin receptors. We report that the interaction of...
