Attachment but not penetration of bovine herpesvirus 1 is necessary to induce apoptosis in target cells

J Virol. 1998 Sep;72(9):7638-41. doi: 10.1128/JVI.72.9.7638-7641.1998.

Abstract

Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) induces apoptotic cell death in bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells and B-lymphoma cells. Using a BHV-1 glycoprotein H null mutant, we have demonstrated that although penetration of BHV-1 is not required, attachment of BHV-1 viral particles is essential for the induction of apoptosis.
