Abstract excerpt
Glycoprotein C (gC) of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2) binds the human complement fragment C3b, but the two proteins differ in their ability to bind C3b on infected cell surfaces. In addition, gC-1, but not gC-2, accelerates the decay of the alternative pathway C3 convertase...
