Description
Summary:A brief overview is presented concerning the membrane-associated antigens of herpes simplex viruses (HSV). Aspects discussed include certain properties and functional roles of the HSV-specific glycoproteins. In addition, recent findings of an association between certain immediate-early proteins of HSV-1 and the tegument of virions as well as the plasma membrane of virus-infected cells are discussed.
