HEp-2 cells, which were infected with HSV-1, excrete besides other proteins a soluble glycoprotein (Mr 125,000-130,000) related to the virus protein gC. The excretion of the glycoprotein and the production of extracellular virus particles is reduced to a similar extent when the cells were treated with monensin. Possible consequences of the excretion of soluble viral proteins to a modulation of the immune response are discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008985	Monensin	An antiprotozoal agent produced by Streptomyces cinnamonensis. It exerts its effect during the development of first-generation trophozoites into first-generation schizonts within the intestinal epithelial cells. It does not interfere with hosts' development of acquired immunity to the majority of coccidial species. Monensin is a sodium and proton selective ionophore and is widely used as such in biochemical studies.
