Introduction
Human herpes simplex virus (HSV), also known as human herpes virus (HHV), is a large enveloped double stranded DNA virus that belongs to the Herpesviridae family, subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae. Human HSV exists as two distinct serotypes, herpes simplex virus type -1 (HSV-1) and type -2 (HSV-2). Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 are neurotrophic viruses that invade the central nervous system (CNS), where they replicate, and have the capacity to establish a latent infection. HSV entry into the host cell requires viral glycoproteins gB, gD, gH and gL. Glycoprotein D (gD) is a structural component of the HSV envelope that has receptor binding activity and can bind specific proteins which mediate viral entry into the host cell.
