The Interacting UL31 and UL34 Gene Products of Pseudorabies Virus Are Involved in Egress from the Host-Cell Nucleus and Represent Components of Primary Enveloped but Not Mature Virions

A 2.6-kbp fragment of the pseudorabies virus (PrV) genome was sequenced and shown to contain the homologues of the highly conserved herpesvirus genes UL31 and UL32. By use of a monospecific antiserum, the UL31 gene product was identified as a nuclear protein with an apparent molecular mass of 29 kDa... View More
