Claim:
1. An HSV vector comprising a mutant gB and/or a mutant gH glycoprotein, wherein the mutations in the glycoproteins are substitution mutations in at least two residues, wherein, when the vector is HSV-1 K26GFP, the at least two residues are selected from the group consisting of gB:D285, gB:A549, gB:S668, gH:N753, and gH:A778, or wherein when the vector is a homologous HSV, the at least two residues are selected from amino acids that correlate to gB:D285, gB:A549, gB:S668, gH:N753, and gH:A778 wherein the gB:D285 residue correlates to X in VYPYXEFVL (SEQ ID NO:1), the gB:A549 residue correlates to X in KLNPNXIAS (SEQ ID NO:2), the gB:S668 residue correlates to X in ITTVXTFID (SEQ ID NO:3) the gH:N753 residue correlates to X in VDTDXTQQQ (SEQ ID NO:4), and the gH:A778 residue correlates to X in VPSTXLLLF (SEQ ID NO:5); and wherein the HSV vector is an HSV-1 or HSV-2 vector.
