Structural recognition of IgG by the herpes simplex virus type 1 Fc receptor
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) expresses a complex of two virally encoded glycoproteins, gE and gI, which has high affinity for nonimmune human IgG. The gE-gI complex has thus become known as an Fc receptor. This complex binds human IgG subclasses in the order IgG4 > IgG1 ≥ IgG2 but does not...
