Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have identified requirements for the binding of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) to cells, including the presence of particular glycoproteins in the virion envelope (gC or gB) and the presence of particular glycosaminoglycan chains (principally heparan sulfate) on cell surface proteoglycans. We show here that neomycin, a known inhibitor of HSV infection, blocked early events in HSV infection...
