Replication of Herpesviruses (HSV) | Microbiology

In this article we will discuss about the replication of herpesviruses. Sequential interaction takes place between specific viral membrane glycoproteins and cell membrane receptors (e.g. cell surface proteoglycans which are heparin sulphates). On the basis of complementary residues present on host cell and viral membrane, binding between virus and host cell membrane takes place before entering the virus within the [...]
