Table 2.: Development on the Role of Heparan Sulfate (HS) and Modified HS in HSV-1 Entry

Year Chronological Development on the Role of HSPGs (Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans) in HSV-1 Entry and Spread

1992 HSV-1 uses cell surface HS for cell binding/attachment  [23]
1999 3-OST-3 modifications of HS generates HSV-1 gD receptor [3]
2002 3-OST-5 modified HS allows HSV-1 entry and spread [40]
2004 3-OST-6  modified HS is a receptor for HSV-1 entry and spread [43]
2005 3-OST-4 modified HS is a receptor for HSV-1 entry and spread [42]
2005 3-OST-2 modified HS is a receptor for HSV-1 entry and spread [42]
2006 Clinical significance of 3-OST-3 in HSV-1 infection to human corneal fibroblasts [70]
2006 Role of  HS in HSV-1 surfing on filopodia [71]
2010 Role of  syndecans in HSV-1 infection  [72]
2011 Zebrafish encoded 3-OST-3 also function as HSV-1 entry receptor [69]
2011 In vivo significance of 3-OST-3 receptor during corneal HSV-1 infection [73]
2012 Role of anti-3-OS HS peptides  targeting HSV-2 entry [74]
