Abstract:
Epstein-Barr virus chiefly infects B cells and epithelial cells but is capable of infecting other cell types in the human host. Host cell entry is a complex process mediated by several viral glycoproteins that define tropism and mediate membrane fusion. This chapter will review what is known about the function of viral glycoproteins in the entry process, explore the nature of interactions between viral glycoproteins and host cell receptors, and highlight gaps in knowledge about the entry process that remain to be filled.
