Summary

From the herpes simplex virus specified glycoprotein C two fractions were isolated with affinity either for Helix pomatia lectin (HPA) or soybean lectin (SBA). The data indicated that HPA and SBA, despite their mutual main specificity for N-acetylgalactosamine, recognize structurally different gC populations.
