Abstract

Chemical cross-linking using ethylene glycol succinimi- dyl succinate (EGS) and dithiobispropionimidate (DTBP) was performed to determine the association of herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein C (HSV-1 gC) with its nearest neighbours. Human embryonic lung (HEL) cells were infected with HSV-1 strain KOS, treated with EGS, lysed with Nonidet P40, immuno- precipitated with monoclonal antibodies specific for gC, and analysed by SDS-PAGE. These analyses demonstrated the presence of cross-linked complexes that migrated with an apparent in the range 150000 to 260000. Two-dimensional SDS-PAGE (non-reduced and then reduced) analyses of HSV-1-infected HEL cells treated with the cleavable cross-linker DTBP demonstrated that molecules that comigrated with gC were the only components of these high complexes. Immunoelectroblot (Western blot) analyses using polyclonal rabbit antiserum specific for gC verified that the high complexes contained gC. These results indicated that gC molecules may be localized in the infected cell membrane as dimers.
