HSV-1 and HSV-2 gG expressed during infection bind chemokines.

<p>(<b>A</b>) Graph showing binding of radio-iodinated hCXCL10 to the surface of HSV-1 infected cells. Binding is observed at 14–16 h.p.i., only when cells are infected with wt HSV-1 but not when infected with a HSV-1ΔgG mutant. (<b>B</b>) Crosslinking assay showing the interaction between [¹²⁵I]-hCXCL12α and HSV-2 gG in the supernatant of HSV-2 infected cells. The arrows point to the crosslinked complex. Abbreviations: h.p.i, hours post-infection. **<i>P</i><0.01.
