✦ Synopsis

Herpesvirus-infected cells usually express receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G. Varicella-zoster virus has so far been the sole exception in the family. Both immunehemadsorption and immunofluorescence techniques failed to detect the expression of such receptors. This observation excludes the possibility of false-positive results in serological tests for antibodies to this virus. It is possible that the function of these receptors early in infection is not needed in the subsequent reactivation(s) of the virus. No variation has been shown to occur with different isolates.

Varicella zoster-virus (VZV) is a humanpathogenic alpha-Herpesvirus that causes chickenpox after primary infection. The virus spreads by aerosol or direct contact with infectious vesical fluids, it enters the body via the respiratory tract. In a first viremic stage it replicates in local lymph nodes

Varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein E (gE) is the most abundant VZV glycoprotein on the surface of virus-infected cells. VZV gE has targeting sequences for the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and is transported from the ER to the TGN in infected and gE-transfected cells. In this study, VZV gE expressing m
