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.
