THE HERPES VIRUS FC RECEPTOR GE-GI MEDIATES ANTIBODY BIPOLAR BRIDGING TO CLEAR VIRAL ANTIGENS FROM THE CELL SURFACE.

The herpes virus Fc receptor gE-gI mediates antibody bipolar bridging to clear viral antigens from the cell surface.

The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein gE-gI is a transmembrane Fc receptor found on the surface of infected cells and virions that binds human immunoglobulin G (hIgG).gE-gI can also participate in antibody bipolar bridging (ABB), a process by which the antigen-binding fragments (Fabs) of the IgG bind a viral antigen while the Fc binds to
