Essential roles for soluble virion-associated heparan sulfonated proteoglycans and growth factors in human papillomavirus infections. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2012 A subset of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections is causally related to the development of human epithelial tumors and cancers. Like a number of pathogens, HPV entry into target cells is initiated by first binding to heparan sulfonated proteoglycan ...

Protection and mechanism of action of a novel human respiratory syncytial virus vaccine candidate based on the extracellular domain of small hydrophobic protein [PDF]
, 2014 Infections with human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) occur globally in all age groups and can have devastating consequences in young infants. We demonstrate that a vaccine based on the extracellular domain (SHe) of the small hydrophobic (SH) protein ...

Comparative distribution of human and avian type sialic acid influenza receptors in the pig
BMC Veterinary Research, 2010 Background A major determinant of influenza infection is the presence of virus receptors on susceptible host cells to which the viral haemagglutinin is able to bind.

Envelope-receptor interactions in Nipah virus pathobiology. [PDF]
, 2007 Nipah (NiV) and Hendra (HeV) viruses are members of the newly defined Henipavirus genus of the Paramyxoviridae. Nipah virus (NiV) is an emergent paramyxovirus that causes fatal encephalitis in up to 70% of infected patients, and there is increasing ...

Viruses, 2018 Wild birds are the reservoir for low-pathogenic avian influenza viruses, which are frequently transmitted to domestic birds and occasionally to mammals. In 2014, an H10N7 virus caused severe mortality in harbor seals in northeastern Europe.

High affinity allele for the gene of FCGR3A is risk factor for HIV infection and progression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 We investigated the genetics of Fc receptors, which function as activating receptors on immune cells and help to control HIV through antibody-mediated cellular cytotoxicity.

Receptors for Hepatitis C Virus
Journal of Virology, 2000 The nature of the receptors enabling hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry into cells has been the subject of debate. On one hand, ligand panning with recombinant HCV envelope protein has identified CD81, a member of the tetraspanin superfamily of proteins, as a direct ligand for the E2 glycoprotein (7) but fails to explain virus tropism.

Specificity switching in virus–receptor complexes [PDF]
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2009 Several structures of complexes between viral attachment proteins and their cellular receptors have been determined recently, enhancing our understanding of the molecular recognition processes that guide formation of virus-receptor complexes. Moreover, these structures also highlight strategies by which highly similar viral proteins within a single ...
