The transcriptional regulatory proteins encoded by varicella-zoster virus open reading frames (ORFs) 4 and 63, but not ORF 61, are associated with purified virus particles

Abstract excerpt

Of the five varicella-zoster virus (VZV) open reading frames (ORFs) known to encode proteins which influence viral transcriptional events, two (ORFs 10 and 62) encode proteins associated with the tegument of virus particles, where they may function during the immediate-early events of infection. In this study, antibodies which recognize the products of the three additional VZV ORFs, ORFs 4, 61, and 63, were made...
