Herpes virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein K (gK) as well as the UL20 proteins (UL20p) are strictly necessary for virus-induced cell fusion and mutations within either the gK or UL20 gene trigger extensive cell fusion (syncytium development). Two-way coimmunoprecipitation tests exposed that UL20p interacted with gB in contaminated cells. The gKa peptide was coimmunoprecipitated with… Continue reading Herpes virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein K (gK) as well as
