Abstract excerpt
Vaccinia virus produces two morphologically distinct forms of infectious virus, termed intracellular mature virus (IMV) and extracellular enveloped virus (EEV). EEV is important for virus dissemination within a host and has different surface proteins which bind to cell receptors different from those used by IMV. Six genes are known to encode EEV-specific proteins. One of these, B5R, encodes a 42-kDa glycoprotein...
