    Snippet: Antibodies to HCMV gB have been shown not only to block penetration of virions into cells, but also to limit cell-to-cell infection, implying that gB plays a role in virion penetration into cells, cell-to-cell transmission, as well as fusion of infected cells [20, 22] . Recently, Isaacson and coworkers used genetic complementation to confirm that gB is required for the fusion of viral and cellular membranes, virus entry, and cell-to-cell spread o.....
    Document: Antibodies to HCMV gB have been shown not only to block penetration of virions into cells, but also to limit cell-to-cell infection, implying that gB plays a role in virion penetration into cells, cell-to-cell transmission, as well as fusion of infected cells [20, 22] . Recently, Isaacson and coworkers used genetic complementation to confirm that gB is required for the fusion of viral and cellular membranes, virus entry, and cell-to-cell spread of HCMV [23] . The importance of gB for viral infection suggests that this viral envelope protein may be a rational target for novel drug design.
