The protein ICP4 keeps type 1 of this class of biological entities in a dormant state, and it uses glycoprotein C to bind to host membranes. Docosanol is an experimental compound that prevents membrane fusion of this entity, which suppresses apoptosis using its LAT transcript. Its thymidine kinase is the target of the drug acyclovir, and Burkitt's Lymphoma one class of this virus attacking B cells. In addition to the Epstein-Barr class, another class of this virus family is varicella-zoster which leads to chicken pox. For 10 points, name this group of double-stranded DNA viruses that also cause Kaposi's sarcoma, shingles, and cold sores.
