Is the Acetylcholine Receptor a Rabies Virus Receptor?

Science, 1982
Rabies virus was found on mouse diaphragms and on cultured chick myotubes in a distribution coinciding with that of the acetylcholine receptor. Treatment of the myotubes with α-bungarotoxin and d -tubocurarine before the addition of the virus reduced the number of myotubes that became infected with rabies virus ...

Measles Virus Receptors

2009
Measles virus (MV) has two envelope glycoproteins, the hemagglutinin (H) and fusion protein, which are responsible for attachment and membrane fusion, respectively. Signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM, also called CD150), a membrane glycoprotein expressed on immune cells, acts as the principal cellular receptor for MV, accounting for its ...

Virus Receptors and Tropism

2007
Polyomaviruses are small, tumorigenic, nonenveloped viruses that infect several different species. Interaction of these viruses with cell surface receptors represents the initial step during infection of host cells. This interaction can be a major determinant of viral host and tissue tropism.

Glycophorin as a Receptor for Sendai Virus

Biochemistry, 1996
Glycophorin A was reconstituted into large unilamellar vesicles of egg phosphatidylcholine by detergent dialysis. The observed overall rate of Sendai virus fusion increased approximately 4-fold between 0 and 0.006 mol % glycophorin, roughly proportional to the glycophorin content.

Virus ‘Receptors’ on Lymphocytes

Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, 1976
Abstract. This paper gives a review of the field of virus‐lymphocyte interactions and virus receptors on lymphocytes as well as the use of viruses as markers for various lymphocyte populations.

Virus-Receptor Interactions in the Enteric Tract

1997
Expression of specific virus receptors on the surface of intestinal epithelial cells or M cells can determine whether or not a animal is susceptible to infection with an enterotropic virus. Receptors for many animal viruses have been identified. The specificity of virus-receptor interactions clearly affects the species specificity of virus infection ...

An overview of Influenza A virus receptors

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2011
Influenza A viruses are spherical particles that attach to cells through bonds between hemagglutinin and specific cellular receptors. Numerous studies performed have recently revealed that Sialic acid (SA) is a crucial component of influenza A virus receptors.

Protein blot analysis of virus receptors: identification and characterization of the sendai virus receptor

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1986
Receptors for Sendai virions in human erythrocyte ghost membranes were identified by virus overlay of protein blots. Among the various erythrocyte polypeptides, only glycophorin was able to bind Sendai virions effectively. The detection of Sendai virions bound to glycophorin was accomplished either by employing anti-Sendai virus antibodies or by ...

Virus receptors on lymphoid cells

1987
The studies described above indicate the advances made in the isolation and characterization of virus receptors of lymphoreticular cells (Table I). Although the examples of lymphotropic virus receptors cited in this chapter indicate that single membrane glycoproteins can serve as receptors, other nonlymphoid viruses such as vesicular stomatitis virus ...
