Human platelets and their capacity of binding viruses: Meaning and challenges? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Blood platelets are first aimed at ensuring primary hemostasis. Beyond this role, they have been acknowledged as having functions in the maintenance of the vascular arborescence and, more recently, as being also innate immune cells, devoted notably to ...

Comparative distribution of human and avian type sialic acid influenza receptors in the pig

open access: yesBMC 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.

Impact of Mutations in the Hemagglutinin of H10N7 Viruses Isolated from Seals on Virus Replication in Avian and Human Cells

open access: yesViruses, 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.

Profiling of Glycan Receptors for Minute Virus of Mice in Permissive Cell Lines Towards Understanding the Mechanism of Cell Recognition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The recognition of sialic acids by two strains of minute virus of mice (MVM), MVMp (prototype) and MVMi (immunosuppressive), is an essential requirement for successful infection.

GateView: A Multi-Omics Platform for Gene Feature Analysis of Virus Receptors within Human Normal Tissues and Tumors

open access: yesBiomolecules
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that rely on cell surface receptor molecules to complete the first step of invading host cells. The experimental method for virus receptor screening is time-consuming, and receptor molecules have been ...

Receptors for Hepatitis C Virus

open access: yesJournal 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.

TAM Receptors Are Not Required for Zika Virus Infection in Mice

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary: Tyro3, Axl, and Mertk (TAM) receptors are candidate entry receptors for infection with the Zika virus (ZIKV), an emerging flavivirus of global public health concern.

Potential entry receptors for human γ-herpesvirus into epithelial cells: A plausible therapeutic target for viral infections

open access: yesTumour Virus Research, 2021
Herpesviruses are ubiquitous viruses, specifically the Epstein Barr virus (EBV). EBV and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) establish their latency for a long period in B-cells and their reactivation instigates dreadful diseases from cancer ...

Modulation of plant autophagy during pathogen attack [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In plants, the highly conserved catabolic process of autophagy has long been known as a means of maintaining cellular homeostasis and coping with abiotic stress conditions. Accumulating evidence has linked autophagy to immunity against invading pathogens,

Circumventing antivector immunity: potential use of nonhuman adenoviral vectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Adenoviruses are efficient gene delivery vectors based on their ability to transduce a wide variety of cell types and drive high-level transient transgene expression. While there have been advances in modifying human adenoviral (HAdV) vectors to increase
