Glycoprotein N of Human Cytomegalovirus Protects the Virus from Neutralizing Antibodies

Herpes viruses persist in the infected host and are transmitted between hosts in the presence of a fully functional humoral immune response, suggesting that they can evade neutralization by antiviral antibodies. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes a number of polymorphic highly glycosylated virion...
