Molecular classification
Viral protein, Glycoprotein, Antigen
01

Overview

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a ubiquitous human pathogen. The main antigenic targets are its envelope glycoproteins, primarily glycoprotein D (gD), glycoprotein B (gB), and glycoprotein C (gC). These glycoproteins mediate attachment to host cells and membrane fusion. HSV antigens elicit immune responses but also employ mechanisms to evade detection. They are used diagnostically and considered for vaccine development.
