Herpes Simplex Virus I, Glycoprotein G, aa1-190, Recombinant (HSV I, gG)

HSV-1 gG (aa1-190). This recombinant protein of consists of human superoxide dismutase (SOD) conjugated to the amino terminal region of HSV-1 gG. Migrates at between 45-66kD on SDS-PAGE.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) is usually associated with infections of the lips, mouth, and face. It is the most common herpes simplex virus and is usually acquired in childhood. HSV-1 often causes lesions inside the mouth such as cold sores (fever blisters) and is transmitted by contact with infected saliva. Glycoprotein G is suggested to contribute to viral entry through apical surfaces of polarized cells.
