VZV ORF9 protein.The protein contains the VZV ORF9 immunodominantregions. The protein is purified by proprietary chromatographictechnique.Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is an extremely cell-associatedalpha herpesvirus. It interacts with cell surface heparansulfate proteoglycans during virus attachment.VZV tegument components include the regulatory proteinsIE4, IE62, IE63 and the ORFI0 protein, a protein kinase(ORF47) and an abundant protein encoded in ORF9which is the homolog of HSV VP22. The kinase is able tophosphorylate IE62 and the ORF9 protein specifically inviral particles.;
