In the absence of serum, PGE2 increased adhesion between uninfected cells whereas PGF2α decreased it. However, both PGE2 and PGF2α increased adhesion between cells infected with HSV and uninfected cells. Moreover, dibutyryl cyclic AMP increased adhesion between uninfected cells and cells infected with HSV, whereas dibutyryl cyclic GMP decreased it. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-64-3-507
