Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) gD-expressing Sf9 cells adhered to two feline cell lines, but not to the porcine, bovine, or canine cell lines tested. In addition, this adhesion activity was inhibited by a monoclonal antibody against FHV-1 gD. These results showed that the FHV-1 gD might bind to a...
