Entry pathways of herpes simplex virus type 1 into human keratinocytes are dynamin- and cholesterol-dependent. [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) can enter cells via endocytic pathways or direct fusion at the plasma membrane depending on the cell line and receptor(s).

Arming vaccinia virus for pancreatic cancer oncolytic virotherapy [PDF]
PhDVaccinia virus is a 250-300nm enveloped DNA virus from the poxvirus family and is used as a vector for oncolytic viral gene therapy. No unique cell surface receptor has been identified for Vaccinia virus and the reasons for its tropism for cancer ...

Antiviral therapies against Ebola and other emerging viral diseases using existing medicines that block virus entry [PDF]
Emerging viral diseases pose a threat to the global population as intervention strategies are mainly limited to basic containment due to the lack of efficacious and approved vaccines and antiviral drugs.

Adaptation of hepatitis C virus to mouse CD81 permits infection of mouse cells in the absence of human entry factors [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) naturally infects only humans and chimpanzees. The determinants responsible for this narrow species tropism are not well defined.

Role of lipids on entry and exit of bluetongue virus, a complex non-enveloped virus. [PDF]
Non-enveloped viruses such as members of Picornaviridae and Reoviridae are assembled in the cytoplasm and are generally released by cell lysis. However, recent evidence suggests that some non-enveloped viruses exit from infected cells without lysis ...

Viral entry and escape from antibody-mediated neutralization influence hepatitis C virus reinfection in liver transplantation [PDF]
End-stage liver disease caused by chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause for liver transplantation (LT). Due to viral evasion from host immune responses and the absence of preventive antiviral strategies, reinfection of the graft is

Entry properties and entry inhibitors of a human H7N9 influenza virus. [PDF]
The recently identified human infections with a novel avian influenza H7N9 virus in China raise important questions regarding possible risk to humans. However, the entry properties and tropism of this H7N9 virus were poorly understood.

Single virus tracking of Ebola virus entry through lipid rafts in living host cells
Ebola virus (EBOV) is one of the most pathogenic viruses in humans which can cause a lethal hemorrhagic fever. Understanding the cellular entry mechanisms of EBOV can promote the development of new therapeutic strategies to control virus replication and ...
