Abstract excerpt
Natural killer (NK) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells are disarmed after contact with herpes simplex virus (HSV)-infected cells. Cells infected with HSV-1 mutants that lack glycoproteins essential for viral entry into cells (gB, gD, gK, gH, and gL) did not inhibit LAK cells; cells infected with HSV-1 mutants that lack glycoproteins not required for virus entry into cells (gE, gI, gG, and gJ) inhibited...
