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 ...

The Roles of Coinhibitory Receptors in Pathogenesis of Human Retroviral Infections
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Costimulatory and coinhibitory receptors play a key role in regulating immune responses to infection and cancer. Coinhibitory receptors include programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), and T cell ...

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 ...

Structural basis for human coronavirus attachment to sialic acid receptors
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2019 Coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections in humans and outbreaks of deadly pneumonia worldwide. Infections are initiated by the transmembrane spike (S) glycoprotein, which binds to host receptors and fuses the viral and cellular membranes.

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.
