Abstract excerpt
Envelope glycoprotein gp50 of pseudorabies virus (PRV) is essential for virus entry, but is not required for subsequent steps in the viral replication cycle. Phenotypically-complemented gp50 null mutants can infect cells and can spread, both in vitro and in vivo, by direct cell-to-cell transmission. However, progeny virions released by the infected cells are non-infectious because they lack gp50. Therefore, these...
