Glycoproteins are critical to virus entry, to spread within and between hosts and can modify the behavior of cells. Many viruses carry only a few, most found in the virion envelope. EBV makes more than 12, providing flexibility in how it colonizes its human host. Some are dedicated to getting the virus through the cell membrane and on toward the nucleus of the cell, some help guide the virus back out and on to the next cell in the same or a new host. Yet others undermine host defenses helping the virus persist for a lifetime, maintaining a presence that is mostly tolerated and serves to perpetuate EBV as one of the most common infections of man.
