gB Antibody

1. Data suggest that, although PILRA exhibits essentially the same recognition of different glycopeptides, slight modifications of linker sugar cause significant changes in a wide area of the binding interface, resulting in a reduction of binding affinity; analogs/fragments of gpb were used in these studies. (PILRA = paired immunoglobin like type 2 receptor alpha; gpb = envelope glycoprotein B, Herpes simplex virus type 1) PMID: 29046357
2. a deletion in the amino terminus of glycoprotein K (gK) inhibits gB binding to Akt-1(S473), the release of intracellular calcium, and virus entry via fusion of the viral envelope with cellular plasma membranes. PMID: 29321326
3. study supports our hypothesis that an interaction between the gB arm and the core of gB is critical for gB refolding and the execution of membrane fusion, thus providing key details about the function of gB in herpesvirus-mediated fusion and subsequent virus entry PMID: 28512095
4. Data suggest that loss of immunodominant gB498-505 epitope from glycoprotein B alters dominance hierarchy and reduces functional compromise of CD8+ T-cells specific for subdominant HSV-1 epitopes during viral latency. Some of these studies were conducted in cultures of CD8+ T-cells from latently infected trigeminal ganglia of C57BL/6 mice following corneal infection with recombinant HSV-1 lacking gB498-505 epitope.
