Abstract excerpt

Fusion-from-without (FFWO) is the rapid induction of cell fusion at high multiplicities of infection and in the absence of viral protein synthesis. The ANG path strain and several other strains of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) effectively cause FFWO of Vero cells. FFWO-inducing strains of H...
