Herpesviruses are ubiquitous, double-stranded DNA, enveloped viruses that establish
lifelong infections and cause a range of diseases. Entry into host cells requires binding of …

Myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) affects approximately 1%
of the general population. It is a chronic, disabling, multi-system disease for which there is …

The superfamily of proteins containing C‐type lectin‐like domains (CTLDs) is a large group
of extracellular Metazoan proteins with diverse functions. The CTLD structure has a …

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is an oncogenic virus that infects more than 90% of the world's
population. EBV predominantly infects human B cells and epithelial cells, which is initiated …

Herpesviruses are double-stranded DNA, enveloped viruses that infect host cells through
fusion with either the host cell plasma membrane or endocytic vesicle membranes. Efficient …

Herpesviridae comprise a large family of enveloped DNA viruses all of whom employ
orthologs of the same three glycoproteins, gB, gH and gL. Additionally, herpesviruses often …

Viruses replicate within living cells and use the cellular machinery for the synthesis of their
genome and other components. To gain access, they have evolved a variety of elegant …

Herpesviruses engage multiple receptors during viral entry. Some are considered binding
receptors only, in that engagement with these receptors may be reversible and may serve to …

The human gamma herpesviruses, Kaposi sarcoma-associated virus (KSHV) and EBV, are
associated with multiple cancers. Recent evidence suggests that EBV and possibly other …

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is implicated as an aetiological factor in B lymphomas and
nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The mechanisms of cell-free EBV infection of nasopharyngeal …
