title: Studies on herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoproteins using monoclonal antibodies.
abstract: Monoclonal antibodies against herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoproteins were isolated and utilized to study the synthesis and processing of glycoproteins B, C, and D (gB, gC, gD, respectively). Monoclonal antibodies against both gB and gD had higher virus-neutralizing activity when compared to that of gC. Differences among these glycoproteins were observed in their time of appearance in the virus-infected cells. The presence of gD was detected at a very early stage of infection when compared to gB and gC. The localization of these glycoproteins during their synthesis and processing was studied.
