Abstract

The membrane-impermeable thiol blocker 5′5-dithiobis 2- nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) blocked infectivity of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) although the virus still bound to cells. DTNB-treated CMV regained 65% of its infectivity after incubation with the disulfide bond-reducing agent dithiothreitol. These observations suggest that free thiol groups on CMV are required for infectivity and may participate in disulfide bond formation during virus entry.
