Since MxB restricts infection of several herpesviruses (Crameri et al., 2018, Liu et al., 2012, Schilling et al., 2018, Jaguva Vasudevan et al., 2018), we compared the impact of MxB on D capsids from HSV-1(17+)Lox, HSV-1(KOS), HSV-2(333), or on nuclear C capsids from VZV(rOka). Here, MX2 is linked to infection.
