Abstract excerpt
Envelope glycoprotein D (gD) is essential for entry of pseudorabies virus (PRV) into cells but is not required for the subsequent steps in virus replication. Phenotypically complemented gD mutants can infect cells and can spread, both in vitro and in mice, by direct cell-to-cell transmission. Pro...
