GRP78 promotes rabies virus entry through interacting with viral receptors [PDF]

Journal of Virology
The rabies virus (RABV) is known to have four potential receptors, including the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR), and metabolic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2).

EVIHVR: A platform for analysis of expression, variation and identification of human virus receptors

Infectious Medicine, 2022
Motivation: Virus receptors are presented on the cell surfaces of a host and are key for viral infection of host cells. However, no unified resource for the study of viral receptors is currently available.

Interactions between the rabies virus and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: A potential role in rabies virus induced behavior modifications

Heliyon, 2022
Rabies causes approximately 60,000 casualties annually and has a case fatality rate approaching 100% once clinical signs occur. The glycoprotein on the surface of the virion is important for the host immune response and facilitates interaction of the ...

The role of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in infection with feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]

, 1999
Infection with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) leads to the development of a disease state similar to AIDS in man. Recent studies have identified the chemokine receptor CXCR4 as the major receptor for cell culture-adapted strains of FIV, suggesting ...
