Glycoproteins gB, gD, and gHgL of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Are Necessary and Sufficient To Mediate Membrane Fusion in a Cos Cell Transfection System

Herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoproteins gB, gD, and gHgL were expressed by transient transfection of Cos cells. Polykaryocyte formation above the background level seen in untransfected controls was observed only if all three components were expressed. Thus, gB, gD, and gHgL are necessary and sufficient to induce membrane fusion.
