Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutants were selected by passage of HSV-1 (KOS) in HEp-2 cells such that binding and penetration occurred in the presence of heparin. Analysis of selected uncloned virus pools revealed that approximately 95% of virus formed syncytia and greater than 58% were gC-negative. Plaque-purified gC-negative syncytial mutants were more resistant than HSV-1 (KOS) to heparin inhibition, as...
