Glycoproteins B and D

Revision as of 10:47, 1 July 2024 by Michal Harel (talk | contribs)




Glycoproteins B, D (gB, gD) are components of the cell-entry complex of herpes viruses[1][2].

  • Glycoprotein D determines which cells can be infected by herpes simplex virus by binding to the cell receptors which mediate the viral entry[3].
