Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) Glycoprotein gB Promotes Virus Entry In <italic toggle="yes">Trans</italic> Acting as the Viral Fusion Protein Rather than as a Receptor-Binding Protein
ABSTRACT Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) glycoproteins gB and gH/gL are both necessary and sufficient for cell-cell fusion. However, it is not clear what roles these glycoproteins play in virus entry, whether acting directly in membrane fusion or in binding receptors. With other herpesviruses, it appea...
