Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV‑1) establishes infection through coordinated interactions of multiple viral glycoproteins with host cell receptors. Interactions between the viral glycoprotein D (gD) and the immunomodulatory cellular receptor HVEM (herpesvirus entry mediator) critically influence HSV‑1 latency and reactivation by regulating both receptor engagement and immunomodulatory signaling in the corneal...
