Properties and functions of feline herpesvirus type 1 glycoproteins

J Vet Med Sci. 1998 Aug;60(8):881-8. doi: 10.1292/jvms.60.881.

Abstract

Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) is a causative agent of feline viral rhinotracheitis and belongs to the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae of the family Herpesviridae. Since first isolated in 1958 by Crandell and Maurer, FHV-1 is distributed worldwide and is the most clinically significant agent for respiratory infections in cats. In this review, we describe the recent findings with properties and functions of FHV-1 glycoproteins, especially hemagglutinins.
