RESUMO
The major glycoprotein complex (VP123) of herpes simplex virus type 1 resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was purified and further fractionated into two major and two minor components by chromatography of the isolated VP123 region on SDS-hydroxylapatite columns. The two major components (gC and gA/gB) were purified free of other polypeptides and used to prepare specific antisera to these glycoproteins. Radioimmune precipitation demonstrated that these antisera were specific for the antigens used in their production. These two antisera as well as an anti-VP123 serum were further characterized by immunoprecipitation, neutralization, and membrane immunofluorescence techniques. Results indicate that both of the major glycoprotein antigens are expressed on the surface of virions as well as on the surface of infected cells.
