The Cys-Rich Region of Hepatitis A Virus Cellular Receptor 1 Is Required for Binding of Hepatitis A Virus and Protective Monoclonal Antibody 190/4 [PDF]
ABSTRACT The hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1 (HAVcr-1) cDNA codes for a class I integral membrane glycoprotein, termed havcr-1, of unknown natural function which serves as an African green monkey kidney (AGMK) cell receptor for HAV. The extracellular domain of havcr-1 has an N-terminal Cys-rich region that displays homology

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Is a Natural Ligand of Hepatitis A Virus Cellular Receptor 1 (HAVCR1), and the Association of IgA with HAVCR1 Enhances Virus-Receptor Interactions [PDF]
ABSTRACT The hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1 (HAVCR1/TIM1), a member of the T-cell immunoglobulin mucin (TIM) family, is an important atopy susceptibility gene in humans. The exact natural function of HAVCR1/TIM1 and the inverse association between HAV infection and prevention of atopy are not well understood.

Neutralization of Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) by an Immunoadhesin Containing the Cysteine-Rich Region of HAV Cellular Receptor-1 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infects African green monkey kidney (AGMK) cells via the HAV cellular receptor-1 (havcr-1), a mucin-like type 1 integral-membrane glycoprotein of unknown natural function. The ectodomain of havcr-1 contains an N-terminal immunoglobulin-like cysteine-rich region (D1), which binds protective monoclonal antibody (

Inhibition of Viral Membrane Fusion by Peptides and Approaches to Peptide Design
Fusion of lipid-enveloped viruses with the cellular plasma membrane or the endosome membrane is mediated by viral envelope proteins that undergo large conformational changes following binding to receptors.

Augmentation of Hepatitis B Virus-Specific Cellular Immunity with Programmed Death Receptor-1/Programmed Death Receptor-L1 Blockade in Hepatitis B Virus and HIV/Hepatitis B Virus Coinfected Patients Treated with Adefovir [PDF]
The immunological parameters leading to viral persistence in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are not clearly established. We analyzed HBV-specific immunoregulatory mechanisms in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected HBeAg(+) CHB patients to determine (1) the roles of immunoregulatory pathways, (2) the effect of anti-HBV therapy on immunoregulatory pathways, and (3)

Alteration of Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) Particles by a Soluble Form of HAV Cellular Receptor 1 Containing the Immunoglobulin- and Mucin-Like Regions [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infects African green monkey kidney cells via HAV cellular receptor 1 (havcr-1). The ectodomain of havcr-1 contains an N-terminal cysteine-rich immunoglobulin-like region (D1), followed by a mucin-like region that extends D1 well above the cell surface.

Structural basis of HCV neutralization by human monoclonal antibodies resistant to viral neutralization escape. [PDF]
The high mutation rate of hepatitis C virus allows it to rapidly evade the humoral immune response. However, certain epitopes in the envelope glycoproteins cannot vary without compromising virus viability.
