HSV-1 vims entry is mediated by multiple glycoproteins present in the envelope and is a rather complex process. Initial adhesion to the cellular membrane is mediated by the interaction of gC and gB with glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate. Subsequently, gD binds to a specific cellular receptor, either a member of the TNF receptor family [herpes vims entry mediator A (HveA)], immunoglobulin superfamily (HveB, HveC), or 3-O-sulfated heparan sulfate. Then, the vims enters the cell through membrane fusion promoted by the gH/gL complex and gB (117). 

As for the CHO approach, the targeting vector was equipped with the blasticidin gene for selection and hobFc as the reporter gene. Either the CMV/EFl fusion promoter or the endogenous Vh promoter... 

Properties of CPE are related to the content of chlorine. Traditionally, CPE containing 36% chlorine was used (and it is still used today) because of its better elasticity and less compatibility with PVC. More recently, CPE containing 25% chlorine is used because it promotes faster fusion and enhances the melt strength of the formulation. Faster fusion permits the partial or complete elimination of oxidized polyethylene, which is frequently used as fusion promoter. CPE has similar vulnerabilities to PVC, therefore regular PVC thermal stabilizers also stabilize CPE without a need to include special stabilizers. " ...

Processing aid is another key additive used in rigid compounds, although minor amounts are used in some flexibles. Processing aid acts as a fusion promoter that also increases melt elasticity. 

Chemical energy input adjust with fusion promoters such as OPE waxes, PE waxes, and/or proper lubricant ratios. 

Calcium stearate, categorized as a metal soap, is both a lubricant and a secondary stabilizer. In European applications, lead, zinc, cadmium, and calcium stearates provide lubrication and heat stability to PVC lead and cadmium are being phased out. The calcium stearate acts as a nfild fusion promoter in most cases however, at high usage levels, the behavior can change character, and further increases in calcium stearate may actually delay the onset of PVC fusion. 

The delay time before fusion begins should correspond to the time of residence in the feed zone of the extmder. With dry blend, it is usually controlled by adjusting the balance of calcium stearate fusion promoter versus external lubricant. With pellets, it is influenced by pellet shape and size, as well as by the presence on the surface of external lubricant or pellet antistick agent. Since, with pellets, these factors are typically only subject to minor adjustment, recourse is usually to variation of feed zone temperature.
