Virus binding and internalization assays The assays were conducted following the methods described previously with slight modification39. Briefly, A549 cell lines were plated in 12-well plates with three replicates each, one day prior to infection. PeV-A1 (MOI of 1) was added to the pre-chilled...
Tomatidine was shown to interfere with various stages of the viral replication cycle of DENV, yet predominantly after virus cell binding and internalization. No antiviral activity was observed for West Nile virus (WNV), a closely related mosquito-borne flavivirus. Here, we evaluated the antiviral...
In addition, the relationship of IAV binding, internalization, and cell activation is unresolved. Electron scanning microscopy has shown that virus is endocytosed within 2 minutes of binding,32 but the relation of neutrophil metabolic stimulation with these distinct events remains problematic....
3.2Virion structure, genome organization and encoded proteins The CCHF virion is spherical and approximately 80–100nm in diameter (Fig. 4). Itslipidenvelope is studded with spikes consisting of theglycoproteinsGNand GC, which are responsible for virion binding to cellular receptors (Fig. 5).Neutr...
Viral-encoded envelope or capsid proteins serve as binding partners for host cell molecules or receptors, and their binding specificity defines the cell and tissue tropism, infectivity, and thus the nature of disease. Virus neutralization Traditional plaque assays are being replaced by ...
attachment and host cell receptor binding for virus entry into the host cell as mentioned in Fig.2D [13]. The newly synthesized viral genome associates with the capsid to form a nucleocapsid, and it buds into the ER lumen together with viral E and prM proteins as shown in Fig.2C [4]....
The search for the cellular receptor(s) required for poxvirus binding and entry has continued for decades with little success. Our data suggest that the identification of poxvirus receptor(s) on DCs may greatly facilitate the design of DC-targeting Ag delivery system to further improve vaccine ...
(G) and fusion (F) transmembrane proteins, involved in the binding and fusion of the virion to the host cell, and a small hydrophobic protein (SH). RSV is classified into two antigenic groups, A and B, based on the protein G sequence. RSV infections cause only partial immunity, and re...
there were residual CCHFV binding and internalization in LDLR-deficient cells, which may be caused by nonspecific binding of CCHFV to glycans, cell adhesion molecules and other proteins on the cell surface as most viruses do. Nevertheless, these results suggest that LDLR is necessary for optimal ce...
